He's just consistently been selfless for the team so we can win championships


That's just what the NFL pays

James White might have lost game winning football

When Brady first got suspended 4 games, there was a lot of discussion about what it meant for the team (obviously).

One of the things that was brought up was that when we got the playoffs, the fact that Brady had played 4 fewer games might actually have a hidden benefit. Well now here we are, favored to win the Super Bowl. And Brady is going to play in only his 15th game this year. It may have actually worked out better for us in the end that he missed 4 games.

So, if we win the Super Bowl, should we apply this logic to next year? Should Brady just rest a few games next year for the overall good of the team? Maybe take off a few road games .. Denver, Pitt, Jets, Bills... ??

lol

would rather clinch a 1st round bye/#1 seed early and than rest him at the end of the season. could get 2+ weeks off that way.

2 tops. Guy is a machine though. As long as he's got his checkdown targets and can avoid injury, I think he'll be okay for 2, possibly 2 1/2.

He's healthier now at 39 then he was at 29.

I give him another 4-5 more productive years

His productivity has to dip eventually.... I mean, it's insane that he's still playing at this lvl at 39, but it's gotta come to an end eventually.

Funny how this isn't one of the subjects discussed when talking about whether or not he's the GOAT. Has there ever been a QB still playing at an incredibly high lvl in his 40s? We saw what happened to Manning when he got close, guy fell apart. Same could happen to Brady as well, I just don't think it'll onset for another 2 years if he can avoid injury. If he gets a season ending injury, I hope he just hangs it up right there.
