Esteban, I think you will find that Pirlo isn't that far off what he was a few years ago; but the players around him are signifiantly worse.
Gattuso used to be able to cover for him better, he used to have great wingbacks flying up the wings to give him options, but that isn't the case any more, so he has to play even more difficult passes.
If I had to choose a player to consistently play a sixty yard pass, it would probably still be Pirlo.
