Will Tom Brady Start Another Game For the Patriots?

[tducey]

Yeah, he will.

 

[Tgann69]

Brady is signed through 2017 with cap numbers of $14M, $15M & $16M

Flacco's cap numbers the next three years: $14.5M, $28.5M & $31.15M

You were saying about a cliff?

Meaning as he approaches 40ish his skills will deteriorate. He will become a Brett Favre nobody escapes age.

Did he "look" 37 in the Super Bowl??

And it has to be considered that a healthy QB can easily go into his early 40's in the NFL now. QB's don't typically take the beating they have in the past.

Also it's not about arm strenght diminishing, which I concede will, it's about the speed at which a QB's mind can read a defense.

Yea. There are so may QB's playing in their 40's.

God- The separation anxiety when this guy retires is going to be epic.

Maybe it's different camps, but it seems like Patriots fans are convinced that Brady has at least 5 years left (which may be true) and are also convinced that Garappolo is their QB of the future. I don't think those two viewpoints go together. If Garappolo is the real deal, I'm pretty sure he will leave the Patriots in 3 years.

You're missing my point. It's what you are going to see going forward, for it to become more common, in particular for the upper tier QBs.

According to Patriot fans, Garappolo will retire before Brady.

Potentially 5 years based on Brady's health and the current system of protecting the QB in the NFL

The galluping chicken could be the qb of the future if Brady doesn't remain healthy, if not then he will become trade bait.

It's really all that complicated.

 

[TxHeat]

I think Brady goes home to play house 24/7 with Giselle sooner rather than later.

You're right. It's not complicated. It won't be both. You may want to spread the word to some of your fellow fans on here.

I also don't get all the love for Garoppolo. Does he still throw sidearmed or have they fixed that?

What little we have seen of him he has shown poise, calm in leading the offense. Small sample but looked good thus far. But you can only go by what you have thus far. (I don't recall if he passed side arm v KC last year or not.)

Obviously - the cliff I was referring to was the cliff the Ravens will be looking up at when Flacco's cap numbers start hitting next year. They'll have to be extremely creative to restructure those numbers in 2016 & 2017. That's a huge % of the cap he's on the books for.... which will reverberate through the entire Ravens' roster if they don't substantially reduce it.

Not sure what Brady looked like before Bledsoe went down? That didn't turn out too bad?

 

[Tgann69]

He did and would have been the scapegoat had the defense not epically bailed him out in the 4 yd line.

Aka..... Please please please don't retire TB. In his 40's.... smh

I didn't see u write this....

It's a classic case of Stockholm syndrome where those held captive fall in love with their captors. TB has the whole zip code of NE ridden with anxiety should he leave. It's so fun.

Commentator:

And number 12 for the New England Patriots Tom Brady! Just wheel him out on the field he'll be fine he has a fast brain. lol!

Bc QB's don't regularly restructure their contracts. Good lord the Flacco fear in NE is at an all time high almost as much as a 50 yr old Brady retiring...lol

totally agree and Blake Bortles and EJ Manuel will be just as good as Brady it's easy to see.
