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).

      Exactly this as well.  Beyond age concerns--by the time they find out if they have something in Penix, they'll need to work on a new contract not long after.  The newer league winning QBs have gotten extensions by year 3 (ie. Burrow).  So, if Penix somehow lights it up year 3, he could turn around fairly quickly, probably by year 4, and ask for an extension.  ATL has really no buffer time in easing the bucks off the QB room to build a team around him.  Not to mention, they'll be needing to make decisions on Terrell, London, Pitts, Bijan, a lot of high end investments BEFORE seeing Penix through, and that's IF he works out.   Lindstrom's contract is backloaded too and they can't cut Matthews until after 2026.   Just a terrible use of resources as it relates to timing & salary allocation, no matter how you look at it.   You're in win now, so get a talent to win now.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      it's  already going to be painful enough watching Caleb Williams throw TD passes to DJ Moore on a regular basis week in & week out   & naturally not sit there & reflect back & say to yourself woulda should coulda had that instead of Bryce Young especially if Bryce never looks remotely similar to a #1 pick

      Agreed.  I would expect most realistic fans to tamper their expectations.  There is a scenario where we simply over drafted him at 1, but he still has a solid career and can become a franchise QB.  That is what I am curious to find out.  Does he have what it takes to become the guy.  If he can somehow do any of the stuff you stated in year two then fantastic, but that's not where my head is at judging by his rookie play and the state of the franchise.
