Here’s what the Patriots want in a quarterback, according to a former assistant coach

Hey man, if being the best checkdown passer of all time was easy, everybody would do it.

This is going to sound like an insult, I swear it's not:

Tom Brady is unquestionably the best checkdown passer of all-time.

Quickness and ball placement is unrivaled. It's so underrated what that does for an offense to continually churn positive plays.— Mike Renner (@PFF_Mike) January 21, 2019

And maybe this is the Kool-Aid talking, but with Tom Brady looking more and more like he was holding pocket aces when he told us all he wanted to play until he was 45, the Patriots have a little time to play with when it comes to finding the right man to sling the rock once Brady has pwned all the records.
