Brady recently criticized the standard of play in the NFL today during an appearance on Stephen A. Smith’s show.

“I think there’s a lot of mediocrity in the NFL today,” he declared.

“I don’t perceive the same level of perfection as I once did.

“I believe the level of coaching has decreased. The growth of young players isn’t as strong as it once was, in my opinion.

“I don’t believe the plans are as effective as they once were.”
