The only SB where Brady did not put his team ahead in the 4th Quarter was the 2011 SB where he was ahead till the end (but the Pats failed to score on any drive after the TD early in the 3rd Q), so by his extreme standards, he came up small in that game.
And also how people forget that clearly hobbled Gronk let the ball go right through his hands. That was a very unlucky interception. And the offsides was the right call. And Brady was nails on those third down conversions.
Assuming Brees retires, a typical Brady year will catch him in completions.
The only way he could possibly get a third All Decade is if the Bucs theeepeat and Tom has an MVP season somewhere in there. But hey, as insane as that is I'm not even willing to rule it out at this point, the dude's life is a fairy tale.
There's no way, unless something catastrophic happens to guys like Jackson, Mahomes, Watson, Herbert, Allen, Murray, potentially Trevor Lawrence, that Brady, who might play, at most 3 more seasons, would get an all-decade nod playing like 4 seasons of the 2020s.
There were like 4-5 guys on the last all decade team that retired in 2015. Megatron, Mankins, Willis retired in 2014, Hill wasn't even drafted until 2016. Revis missed a year AND was basically cooked by 2015 and still made it.
I didn't say it was impossible in the sense it could never, ever happen. I'm saying it's not going to. Other QBs are going to win Super Bowls after Brady retires, and the trend right now is that teams need a stud QB to win. If that continues, and Mahomes doesn't win every Super Bowl after Brady retires, you're likely going to have some other QB with ridiculous numbers in this new era that has at least 1 title under his belt.
These guys aren't QBs. You can get away with guys at other positions having 4-5 great years and getting named to the team, but a QB with less than a full decade of dominant play isn't getting named to the all decade team unless they've received multiple MVPs and played at least 7-8 years. It's absolutely not possible for Brady.
I’m in the Tampa area and I think, based on reading some tea leaves and some local reports:
Even his parents, who both had COVID, have tried to talk him into it
Yeah, that's the curious part. By his account, his parents had really tough battles with it. If that doesn't get you to shape up on this issue, what will? Brady has always struck me as being kind of naive. I think tunnel vision has both helped and hurt him.
Smith has a bad rep but I think he really came on this year. Apparently he was PFF's highest-graded Buc on offense for the Super Bowl. He's not a top-tier LT but he's fine. I wouldn't be surprised if they work out an extension to lower his 2022 hit and keep him around.
I just thought that would be a spot they could get a good player in the bottom of the first round of the draft, but I would agree with both of you that at the least he has to lower that number.
In fairness Twitter didn't exist for his 20s and a good chunk of his 30s either!
His boat was drifting down the Hillsborough River which was really choppy due to all of the boat traffic. I think most of us would get queasy.
Not sure if serious. When you get sea sick once you get off the boat it doesn't look like that.
I've lost count of the number of times I have been on a boat and someone has gotten sick because we were not moving fast. You don't feel better the second you walk off the boat, it takes a few minutes.
I agree, but did you watch the video? The goofy smile, being held up by the ? Bucs assistant? Yeah he wasn't sea sick
It was a 2 hour + parade. During the entire parade and pre parade we never saw a drink in his hand. I guess you are right, he could have gotten hammered this morning
Maybe he was hammered, but the river was packed with other boats and it was really choppy. Point is, I have lost count of the times I have been boating here and have had people ask if we could start moving faster because people were getting sick. Maybe Brady's inner ear is the goat of inner ears.
No one gives a shit and if anything it makes him more relatable. At least that's the vibe I'm getting on Twitter.
Embarrassing? He’s killing the internet today. This was probably the best move he’s ever made for his brand. Goat gets bendy on $2 million dollar boat.
I certainly don't care. But it would have been fun if they had to fish the trophy off the bottom of the bay.
