Default How many more years of Brady at the top of his game?

If you're currently just trying to enjoy his amazing season at hand and wish not to even think so far into the future then feel free to leave now, don't blame you.

But for those willing to discuss, how many more years do you think...

A) Brady will be in the league. (Assumingly with the Patriots, him in another uniform later in his career would crush me)
B) Brady will be at the top of his game.

I remember he was quoted as saying he wants to play as long as he can back in the pre-season, and even compared how long he wanted to play to Vinny T’s career, which would be amazing. Jeff Garcia and Brett Favre, are both having some of their best seasons yet at the ages of 37 and 38 respectively.

Assuming BB is with us until at least 2013 here's what age Brady will be at the start of each upcoming season with the hoodie...

2008- 31
2009- 32
2010- 33
2011- 34
2012- 35
2013- 36


Looking at the larger picture, what do you see? A BB esque "I see the Bills Sunday night" not needed, as already stated this is a topic just for some future thinking.

If they can keep protecting him like they have this year, beyond 36 is very possible. He's in great shape and works hard. 2015 sounds good to me.

I think QB's like Brady don't really fall off the face of the Earth like some guys like a Vince Young or a Mike Vick, where their athletic ability is the reason why they succeed. If Brady can keep a strong arm until he is 40, he could play at this level until then. I don't really see how he'd start to slow down at all. He isn't athleticly gifted.

His arm seems to be getting even better with the experience and his work ethic.

Brady may not peak soon when you consider that he was sort of a late bloomer. He didn't thrown the ball down the field as much in his first three or four years in the league due to the lack of WRs. That is a whole new direction his game has taken since working with McDaniels.

I just hope he doesn't hold us hostage like Favre is holding Greenbay hostage. Owners should start adding an INT clause to contracts. Once you start throwing ridiiculous amounts of INT's you automatically have to retire. Like what Greenabay should have done to Favre, then he would have no choice but to retire.

I'd hardly say he's doing so this year.

I understand what you are saying about SIR BRETT FAVRE. But truthfully the organization is keeping him around and refusing to let go. They have been pretty much begging him back each year.

No chance BB will do that, and I think he and Brady just might ride out together into the sunset when the time comes.

Zip your fly, Frankie! Your brains are showing. Favre is having a Tom Brady year with the caliber of talent Brady had prior to this year. And you think he should have been forced into retirement?

Do they have random drug testing where you work? If they do you're in trouble.
