The real question is, how long will Ernie Adams be allowed to whisper in Tom's ear? he'll remain steady for as long as that happens if not spectacular.
Max Kellerman says he is hitting the age cliff and hitting it fast. He says no QB has ever been very good when nearing 40. Brady is 39.
He says never, in the history of the NFL, has any QB ever maintained excellence when nearing 40. Manning didn't. BUT, Brady didn't have the injuries Manning did.
Tom says he can play until 50. No one believes that. Ryan Clark says Brady has 3 more good years.
What say you? I think the end is more near than TB does. This could be his last year with legit championship hopes. That may be bad news for us.
Can you think of any QB who was still top shelf at 40? Len Dawson last year was at 40 and he was no good.
Flutie had a decent season at 41.
Sonny Jurgensen played until 40, but that was it.
Vinny Testaverde played over 40, and was OK, but he was never really that good to begin with.
Moon was still decent after 40, but not a winning QB.
Favre, the biggest QB freak ever, had a great season at 40, but then was a shell of himself after that season.
Well, remember when Manning made everyone feel he could play at the highest level for a while? In 2013 Manning threw for world record 5,477 yards and 55 TDs. IN 2014, production started to drop, to 4,700 and 39 TDs and last year, although he won a SB, the bottom dropped out to 2,250 and 9 TDs. It was over. Just like that. And Max point is it will happen to Brady in the same manner.
George Blanda played till he was almost 50. Cant tell you how good he was toward the end though, going by childhood memory.
18 TDs and 1 INT this year and throwing deep better than ever, he is still a great QB.
brady will be able to dink and dunk for a few more years.that is what he is good at.
Brady has been solid. Yesterday wasn't his best day but obviously his knee isnt in as good of shape as they're saying.
I say this year or next, as, if not, it won't happen at all.
Brady has benefited from the don't hit the qb rules greatly... but... a big butt.. a kardassians girls big butt... he can't take any big hits.. an injury here an injury there and his time is marked... he won't come back from a big injury at this point in his career. No qb outside of Montana was more of a "system" qb than Brady. Had he been drafted by a Detroit or a Cleveland nobody would have heard of him. That said he sure kicked our *** lol
I just want the Steelers to whoop the **** out of them in afccg
Did anyone see the play where he was blocking for Blount, and the defense went around him..... no one would hit him as a lead blocker. Weird.
