POLL: Why will Tom Brady play like shit in 2016?

[eaglesnut]

You missed a "The" between "like" and "shit." Capital T. Capital S.

Where is the Potato Salad option?

Brady makes any receiver look good.

If he could just get Manning's receivers he wins 3 more superbowls before retiring.

At some point obviously Brady's skills will diminish, father time is a real thing... BUT judging by his play last year I still think he's got a couple good years left in him... From what I hear the guy sticks to a strict diet and takes good care of himself... You can see he's lost weight the last couple years to keep more mobility... As you age keeping your weight down is big for your joints and movement... He'll be 39 when the season starts... hard to believe...

The one thing about father time is that recently he has hits harder and faster than any NFL LB.

Look at some of the great QB's who have retired recently:

Manning - He went from record breaking to just f'ing terrible about 3/4ers of the way thru the '14.
Favre - He was amazing one year for my Vike's...the next year I was longing for Tavaris Jackson back.

When the wheels fall off, they REALLY fall off quickly.

There are some exceptions. Kurt Warner off the top of my head was still exactly what he always was in his final season.

He was absolutely terrible last year. He choked (again) when it counted.

I'll go with the Pat's criminally underrating the RB position leading to Brady having to do more than he should against defenses that aren't scared of their run game.

Replacing Blount with Donald Brown. That was the "answer" the Pat's came up with this offseason for the complete ineptitude that was the NE RB situation last year that lead to them have a bottom 5 running offense in the league by pretty much any metric.

They are a roster that is just SCREAMING for an early round RB. But I doubt we will see it if the past couple of years are any indication of how they are operating.

We started the year with a huge surplus in running backs.
Brown is not a replacement for Blount. I don't know who will replace Blount yet but just like the Broncos looing for a QB, we'll have to find a RB. Blount is not my favorite so I'll be happy to see someone come up.

Every Pats Fan: "Tom Brady... is the best quarterback ever."
Hammer: "I disagree. Tom Brady is a very good quarterback, but I think Joe Montana is the best quarterback ever."
Every Pats Fan: "Joe Montana SUCKS!"
Hammer: "You know somethin'? YOU SUCK!"

Close but substitute Montana with Peyton. Hammer said that Montana sucked and only a product of Rice and team , even though he won some before Rice>

I have never seen a Pats fan say that Montana sucked or had an issue with anybody having him as GOAT. A legit contender for that honor

If 4770 yards and a STUNNING 36/7 TD to INT ratio is "absolutely terrible" that literally means over 28 NFL teams have NEVER had a good QB in all their entire franchises history.

4770 yards, 36 TD's, 7 INT's is one of the greatest seasons in the HISTORY of the NFL and I HATE the Patriots.

But, yeah.

"Greatest season ever."

Translation: List anyone, everyone, as "one of the GOAT's" as long as it's not Peyton. Then it's war!

64.4% completion rate. INCREDIBLE! Tell me 4 QB's who have had a better season than Brady's 2015 season.

He was atrocious.

Without him they win the SB.

Well, you saw what happened.

But yeah, dude. "Greatest season ever."

Incredible.
