Salute to a great. The great actually. Gets a lot of hate, warranted or unwarranted. His retirement seems like the end of an era altogether and hits in that nostalgic part.

1999 man. That will be the end of a string to many, many peoples childhood. I remember debating kids on my bus in 7th grade about why the Panthers or Patriots would win the Super Bowl. My argument was that they would beat the Panthers because they are Tom Brady. Now I have a son, 9 years old, who knows who Tom Brady is.

It's a vestige to more innocent days and I'm quite sad to see him go.

Yeah, Brady is easily still top ten when it comes to active QBs.   Tom's mental ability to quickly analyze defenses and react accordingly has always been his greatest strength.  He will likely be capable of doing that for decades to come.

You can't deny that ability.  If he wasn't so arrogant and getting away with crap that Cam was shamed for (ref saying Cam wasn't old enough to get roughing the passer).

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
