Schefter believes Brady is setting up to leave the Pats next year

If you believe this will happen, you're dillusional. Belicheck built the perfect system to back an ailing qb like Brady. Best D in the league, great core. Brady could not ask for anything else. Go Bills, but you are on drugs if you back this ludicrous claim

Kick the tires? 

 

1) wouldn’t have to play him

2) could beat the tar out of him in practice 

3) olay the pass rush a few times in preseason and get him crushed

4) trade him to Miami mid season or whatever bottom feeder with a porous Olin’s is there 

 

id consider this.

...tells Brady he should consider taking the same route as Peyton Manning...

I have to laugh too! Why would any sane reasonably rational person think this!

Sorry, my bat phone to the Patriots is turned off at the moment but I am sure yours is up and running!

Do you have any notion how bad Brady would look playing behind that OL, and throwing to the WR they have left?

 

But I think this is a lot of credibility to give to what seems to be pot-stirring Schefter speculation.

 

Looking at Brady's contract, he ain't playin' for no $0 salary and amortized signing bonus.  Schefter seems plugged into a bunch of player agents.  That's probably the source of the speculation, "shot across the bow"

OK, I am ageeing with HaplessBills Fan on something, shows how ridiculous this notion is!

In my humble opinion, John Elway is confusing correlation with causation.

He combined Manning with a great offensive mind in Kubiak, and combined some stellar defensive players with a great defensive mind in Wade Phillips.

 

Next year when they fell off with his great draft pick QBs Siemian and Lynch, he decided a new coach was the thing.  Enter Joseph, McCoy, and Musgrave.

Maybe the problem isn't entirely the QB, and maybe the solution wasn't the coaches he hired.

Very good observation! This now competes for the silliest post ever on TBD and the fact we have many taking it seriously does not say much for Bills Fans!

Does Schefty offer evidence to back up what he thinks?

Nope intoxicated and babling!

I agree. There's something sketchy about all of this, kinda like some on the dl Asian massage parlor hand j*b. 

Finally some sense on this board!

The drunk fans back in the 1960's with kegs of beer in paying seats made more sense; holy crap!

He has to retire or leave the team eventually. Since you accused us of being drunk originally for thinking this could be the year. And suggested that 10 years ago it was more likely.

No!!! I think Brady leaving the Patriots for another team is drunk talk; if he retires so be it! He will never take a snap under center for another team; if you think he will you are dddddrrrrruuuuunnnnnkkkkk! And your bat phone won't help you!

Good points as always Hapless, 

 

The Bronco's won the Championship on D,

 

no way If I'm John Elway does Wade Philips ever leave the building.

 

Peyton did have a prolific offense the previous 3 seasons including that record setting 2013 year. But in 2015 Peyton was broken down and at best a game manager who used his veteran smarts to compensate for a poor physical profile. He definitely got carried to that second ring.

Only way Tom leaves for another team is if he decides he’s won enough championships at a discount, and wants one huge pay day from a team hoping for a quick Trophy... I don’t think at his age he would stand much of a chance away from the Pats, but he certainly would get the largest, fully guaranteed 3 year deal in NFL History, if he wants it.

Maybe if a team hires his McDaniels as Head Coach, then maybe I could see him jumping ship... but he’s certainly in uncharted waters approaching free agency at his age. It’s just hard to truly envision him actually walking away from the dynasty willingly for anything other than retirement.

I didnt know it was belichick hitting guys in stride for TDs. 

 

I hate when question is brought up.  20+ years in the league Brady can read 99% of every defense out there. 

 

Without Brady the legacy of New England doesn't exist.

Until he goes to the Jets or Dolphins and they become dominant like the Pats* have been.

Not to mention that he was benched in favor of Brock Osweiler for a period of time furring that season and he won some games in place of Peyton.

He plans on retiring with a 19-0 record and record 7 Super Bowl championships.  Right now it is a real possibility. That defense is unbelievable and their offense is going to just keep improving.  Hard to see anyone, maybe with the exception of the Saints with their starting QB, beating the Pats.  You can't score on them and their offense will always put up the points they need to win.

Sadly, I agree

Oh, Yeah.  Like maybe WR who aren't on the verge of checking into the Geriatrics unit, an OL .... little pieces like that.

 

It's just that going for an aging QB who has won Superbowl(s) seems to be Elway's MO

Seems to be the only winning formula John Elway has been able to find at the QB position.

 

So yes siree bob, Elway would show some interest...

 

...in my humble opinion...

 

Agree Elway would show interest, but why would Brady want to go into that situation where not likely to win in the next couple of years.

Because Denver offers the best trade and Brady can go along with it as one last gesture to help the team.

 

Or retire...

Does he have a contract after this season ends?  From what I'm reading that'd rather debatable,  likely would become a FA unless he agrees to extend in NE.

IIRC, Brady is on a year by year contract, nothing long term.  I'm not so sure he'll play anywhere else next year; I can see him retiring a Patriot and making a ton of money during special Patriot event appearances for/with Kraft.

He could be another Romo in the booth if he wanted. 

Brady comes across as having absolutely nothing like the fun, likable personality that Tony Romo has.

 

Sure Brady would know what he's looking at could probably intelligently communicate that to fans, but he wouldn't be close to Romo!  Can you tell I really like Tony Romo!?  

 

Always disliked him as a player, but never really knew the real Romo.  He comes across as an extremely likable guy.

I think that's at the heart of these two (uber successful) egotists -- they both want to prove that THEY are the reason for the Pats dynasty. Belichick was apparently ready to do it a couple years ago with Jimmy G. but Kraft stopped him. Neither one can rest until he proves his point.

he would get murdered on a different team. tom always has the top defenses and the offensive system that helps.

That's not true. Brady gets the ball out super fast or he throws it away. He doesn't take hits.

 

And the Patriots have not always had a to defense. There have been years where they have been quite porous.

Send him to the Dolphins if you can take them to the Super Bowl then I will say he truly is the greatest

 

no WAY is he going there, team is at rock bottom. He is going to look for a solid franchise. I could see Jacksonville. Would have been the colts but Brisett is doing well there.

Piggy backing off of YOLO's thread about Tom playing else where . Where do you think he will go if he leaves the Patriots??

 

 

Im going with Jacksonville because they have a good defense and some offense weapons and dont think Coughlin is sold on Minshew as a permanent starter and would love a proven winner.

I just don't see any way but if I had to pkay along I see only 4 possibilities, all of them remote:

 

Bears- they have a team and a need but I don't see what is in it for him....no connection there.  Maybe the Rodgers in the division challenge?

 

Raiders - I don't think the team is good enough but a brand new city brings lots of marketing opportunities

 

Denver - Meh.  Barely makes the already iffy list

 

SF - only in some weird trade scenario with Jimmy back in NE
