Maybe he could just fall forward and take it like a man during kneel downs.
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:08 PM ^
Walter Payton is going down!!!

During the game yesterday, they had a HOF running back (can't recall who) that spoke in a prerecorded "congratulations" message for Brady hitting 1,000 yards. He said: "I remember having a 1,000 yard season. Tom's average is, what, 50 yards a season?!?!" Couple other guys made light of the "achievement" during the prerecorded message.

The greatest competitor in the game of football, all-time. Yes, I think so.
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
4.255 yards rushing per game? pathetic.
he'll be lucky to make some team's practice squad with those numbers.
edit: move a decimal.

"Hmm I need another back that runs tough between the tackles."
- anonymous college OC
(Isnt it like 4.something yards per game??? Or doth my math fail me?)
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
your math is pathetic lol
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
That's awesome.
Maybe he could punt too. Except he's Tom Brady, and he rarely needs to punt.
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:32 PM ^
He does moonlight as the holder for field goals.
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:32 PM ^
Belichick thought the game should've been stopped to celebrate the milestone.
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:36 PM ^
Thanks for commenting Ms.Gisele!
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:04 PM ^
Even Thielen was PO'd about not stopping the game.
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
That's 913 more than Dan Marino.
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:05 PM ^
Pretty sure most of Marino's rush yards came when a cockroach scared the shit out of him once.
December 3rd, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
Was it a Giant cockroach? I hear they get big in New York.
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
Who knew you could QB sneak 1,000 times in one career?
December 3rd, 2018 at 6:54 PM ^
The commercial that the NFL showed was very funny.
Barry Also ran the ball in the NFL
December 3rd, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
Is this sack adjusted ?
December 3rd, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
I believe so. He hit 1000 earlier in the season only to give some yards back.
December 3rd, 2018 at 7:19 PM ^
Definitely is. Tom will pick up a quick 5-10 here and there if needed.
Edit. Nvm I’m wrong.
December 3rd, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
He's also lost about 200 yds in victory formations.
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
The NFL does not count sack yardage as negative rush yards, it subtracts the sack loss from "team passing," which is why total team passing yards is usually less than the passing yards for that team's QB.
IMHO, it's a better statistical policy. If you're calling it a pass attempt (which you are, otherwise it's not a sack), then a loss incurred while attempting to pass should come off the passing stats.
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Although I agree with what you're saying from a type of play standpoint (a defense's yack yardage shouldn't have anything to do with their run defense), but from the rules of football, a play is considered a running play until the QB throws the football forward. If he never does (like in a sack), the play is, by definition, a run play.
December 3rd, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
Only 58 below Denard’s NFL total.
Tom MAY go down as the greatest rushing QB in Michigan History!

Harbaugh had over 2700 yards rushing in the NFL.
December 3rd, 2018 at 7:45 PM ^
In light of this superb statistical milestone, isn't it about time to start a campaign to award a retroactive Heisman for Tom Terrific?
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
Does this include sacks? Pretty impressive if true, he must hardly ever take sacks.
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
See above. Sacks are not counted as negative rushing yards in the NFL.
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:48 PM ^
It took Tom Brady only 18 seasons and 12 games to reach 1,000 rushing yards.

Not in one game, though. That would be a record.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^
993 more than Drew Henson.

I'm not sure there's anyone better at the quarterback sneak than Brady. That's a skill that has served the Patriots well.
Kneels are negative yardage, but sack yardage, unlike in college ball, is its own category and counted against net passing yardage (but not gross passing yardage, which is what is reported for quarterbacking stats).
Sometimes it's a judgment call whether a quarterback is making a rushing attempt or getting sacked. You even see the occasional 0-yard sack. Usually, the determination is whether the quarterback gets out of the tackle box and is moving forward, but there are qb draws to consider as well.
December 4th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
Yeah, too many victory formations
