Tom's mental ability to quickly analyze defenses and react accordingly has always been his greatest strength.

This is the defining trait of a franchise QB. Brady has off the charts intangibles and a competitive fire. No one will say that he is the best athlete on the field but he knows how to win. Peyton Manning is a poor athlete but was cerebral and studied his craft the hardest. Our next QB has to have these traits, not just the strongest arm or the fastest 40 time.

TB12 deleted their congrats stuff…I have a feeling he’s done but something got out that wasn’t supposed to yet.

FWIW, an article I read earlier, which was from cbs sports, said those closest to him were expecting him to make an announcement this coming week.  The thinking being he respects the game too much to overshadow the games tomorrow or make the announcement during Super Bowl week.  Waiting until the dust has settled from the Super Bowl would put the Bucs in a lurch, assuming his decision is to hang them up.

Those same people expect he will retire, but nobody has said he has finalized that decision.

Both Peyton and Brady had huge arms in their primes. They were just statues. They definitely had to rely on their brains when they got up in age but these weren’t some chad Penningtons. They could chuck the fug out of the ball.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
