LOL Fair enough. It’s not like I know the guy but I just assume as a competitor, if I can see certain milestones staring him in the face, he sees those same milestones. If you think you can play, and you have something big in front of you, you go for it. That’s all I’m saying. So many of us have already brought up 4 straight Super Bowls. It’s frequently been said that it’ll never happen again. He has a shot to prove everyone wrong. If I were him, I’d go for it 22 minutes ago, LabattBlue said: ...or maybe he doesn't want to play 2nd fiddle to his super model wife and just be a stay at home dad.

He had a rough start (he was fooled by the coverage scheme on the pass to Hogan, who he clearly thought would be wide open), but he got it done in the 4th quarter during crunch time. It wasn't his best game, but then again the Rams' defense played well. People forget that early in the season Talib was out for something like ten games. He's an elite cover corner. Once he came back, the Rams D suddenly got a whole lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a fool's game to wait and hope that you can have the division championship, conference championship and Super Bowl title just handed to you. If the Bills want it, they will have to go get it. It's always been that way. I long for the day when we don't see Brady or Belichick in the league anymore, but if Buffalo doesn't work their collective butt off, somebody else will take Bradichik's spot as king of the hill when they're gone anyway.

wiskibreth Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 You'll know when he's about to retire when the Patriots start formulating and placing a succession plan into effect for QB. Brian Hoyer aint that. Brady would never leave Kraft, Bellichick and his teammates in the lurch to just up and decide in the off-season to not come back. He's back next season for sure.

Jim Harbaugh wants a Tom Brady statue at Michigan Posted by Michael David Smith on February 9, 2019, 5:49 AM EST Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh wants the university to recognize one of its own, Tom Brady. Harbaugh said on his podcast that he thinks a Brady statue should be erected on campus. “I think it’s time, don’t you, for a Tom Brady statue to be built right here,” Harbaugh said, via CFT. “Right in front of Schembechler Hall, or do you put it in the stadium? Where do you put the Tom Brady statue?” When the greatest of all time played in your program, that’s something you celebrate, Harbaugh said.

Gugny Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I see no problem with this thread and I'm not sure why the OP is getting flamed so much. It's a fair question and he backed it up with observations that he made. That said, I don't think Brady will stop playing anymore until a) he can no longer play, or b) the Patriots have little/no shot at being among the best in the conference. Barring some off-season disaster, I think he'll play next year and I think the Patriots will be one of the best teams in the AFC. At this point, I'm just hoping next season is his last.

Dr.Sack Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Tom Brady will have to be knocked out of the league. Teams should send all out blitzes and hit him on every pass on time or after its out. Watching the mic’d up of the Super Bowl it was apparent the zebras didn’t like Donald tossing Brady to the ground which was a routine play. Probably only got away with it because of his own star power. That said remember back in the day defenders were allowed to drive the QB into the ground and land on them? Oh how I miss the good ole days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the league gives Brady preferrential treatment, but somebody explain to me how the hell the first one isn't a penalty as he throws him to the ground well after he got rid of the ball and the second one isn't. Ridiculous. The league has to fix this somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I think this 6th SB win will only whet his appetite for #7. Right now, the Pats are tied with the Steelers for most SB wins and you know what they say about a tie, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 You wonder what's really going through his mind, I till got it lets go for #7 next year, or does he realize he just completed a season somewhat similar to Peyton Manning's last year. Even in this years Super Bowl, he threw many bad passes and all regular season he was often shaky. Granted in the 4th quarter both against KC and the Rams, he was vintage Brady (and vintage Gronk). I'd think Brady would step down before going out like Manning, the question is does he truly think he's still got it or is he beginning to realize he's struggling. Probably the best thing for him would be for Gronk to retire and use the $9 mil or so he was being paid on other younger WR's nd TE. The one thing he does have going is it seems like his line has turned around and is much improved. Can recall a couple years back the line was very shaky.

Really, we could go on and on. Career passing yardage (though Brees would likely keep him from that). The only glimmer of hope is he has been to the SB over 50% of his career. If he misses next year, he’d have to go the following year, and the year after that I think? But I believe the ability to go to 4 would be more important than losing the going to the SB >50% stat. Win 3 straight Super Bowls. No team has done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
