I wouldn't say Brady's cooked, he definitely has at least another year of good football, but he's no where near where he used to be. 11-15 is a good spot to put him.
His age has definitely affected his game immensely, but not due to his lack of physical ability. There have been plenty of great balls and throws that can keep up with some of the young guys. He's much more focused on preservation and doesn't want to take the hits, though. Speed him up and he gets really sloppy, it's been that way all year. Super inaccurate because he's whipping the ball out just so it's not in his hands.
His deep ball is definitely bad though, that I think is because of his inability to gage how much strength he needs to put in it. You watch him on some of those throws and you know he's not confident in where it'll be placed.
Pressure affects all QBs. It just affects Brady more at this point in his career. While there will always be exceptions, he just doesn't make good throws under pressure.
