What?????
He doesn't throw the ball with more velocity
Brady has more zip, touch, and just a better arm than Jimmy. Brady throws a much better ball.
They are different throwers. Jimmy has the fastest release in the NFL but it comes at a cost because he doesn't step into his passes it's all upper body and why he can wait so long attempt a pass...Brady's arm actually got better as he matured because his mechanics became better with coaching and his awareness in the pocket let him use his entire body to pass the ball.
Jimmy has one of the fastest releases (I'd say Rodgers is probably tops), but his arm isn't his problem. It's his feet. Jimmy does this thing where he doesn't rotate his hips right and get his legs involved right, and it leads to erratic accuracy on passes where arm strength along isn't going to get it done. Brady has perfect mechanics, so he'll never have this problem.
But upgrading Jimmy with a new player is no easy task. This isn't Madden. So Jimmy needs to fix his mechanical errors (which will fix his inconsistent accuracy), and he needs to improve his field vision. He does that, and he'll be a very good QB. Because as you say, the release is there, including off platform stuff.
