As far as Brady goes...no one ever seems to mention the fact that a guy whose career is spent handling footballs knows exactly when there's less air in the ball. He knew big time.

It is all subjective. Aaron Rodgers (QB for the Packers) has said that he prefers the balls to be fully inflated and would even over-inflate them if he could. He said he has big hands and can easily grip the ball so having the ball be firm helps him control the throw better.
So if they decreased the air pressure in all the balls I would guess a good number of QB's would complain.
Perhaps Brady just has dainty hands.
