I think that expecting Brady to play three or four more years is unrealistic. He is 37 this season. Here is the list of quarterbacks that have started the majority of a team's games at age 40 or older:
Brett Favre
Warren Moon
Vinnie Testaverde
In the entire history of the NFL, that's it...
QB.
Brady is 37 this year. His Completion % and QB rating havbe fallen in each of the last three seasons. And in the whole history of the NFL there have only been four QBs that started 10 or more games for a team at age 39 or older. Belichick knows these things. The time to draft Brady's...
BB is very careful about who he gives the big guarenteed money to, and I don't think Talib fits the profile. I anticipate that Talib will walk, McCourty will return to CB, and the team will look for help (again) at the safety spot.
" Tom's playing well as long as everything is going well. Eli is making things happen when things aren't going well."
I think there is something to that.
I am a lifelong Pats fan, going back to the Mike Taliaferro era, so I definitely appreciate Tom Brady. No question. But you have to...
A couple of thoughtful tape-watchers saw Brandon Spikes as the Pats' best player on Sunday:

I continue to think he will emerge as the team's...
In today's NFL, teams can spend more than half the snaps with three corners on the field. Six on the roster isn't that many when you think about it. The game has slowly changed toward more spread offense, more nickel D.
I don't agree with the characterization of Ihedigbo and Molden as ST...
The writers are suggesting that the Pats will add an OL or TE and cut a DB or LB. But as I look at the roster the one thing that stands out is that they have too many defensive linemen. You don't need 10 DL to play a 4-3. I do think you need 16 DB + LB, though, because of special teams. I...
Gosh I think this is probably more simple than you guys are making it. Murrell is a OLB/sub-defense-DE type. Two OLB/Sub-defense-DE's didn't practice today - Cunningham and Moore. The roster will be at 53 on Monday. Hence one of the two injured OLBs will be IR'd before Monday, making room for...
Many of the "throwbacks" around the league are just atrocious. In a few cases, however, I think the throwbacks are actually nicer than the teams' current unis. Two that I would place in that category are the Pats and the Chargers. I love the red jersey, "Pat Patriot' look for the Pats...
“He was trying to tell me how to bag a Hollywood actress,” Suggs said. “He said, ‘If you want to get a Hollywood actress, take my seminar on Saturday.’ " - that is just priceless. Very funny.
As for the rest of it, he is probably just a guy that hates to lose. Face it: Suggs is a beast...
Moss isn't really a Pats type of player. He is a me-first whiner and prima donna from the get-go (just like some of the other #1 WRs). But if he scores 22 TDs , BB can put up with it. As his play declined and his contract-related whining increased, the trade-off became less and less...
I don't really like Moss's attitude and approach, and the quality of his play is clearly in decine. But it is hard to see how this doesn't weaken the team in 2010. In the NFL trades are player-for-picks, almost never player-for-player.
I have a question for you all. Why do we get Jets - Bills here intend of BAL v. PIT? The Baltimore game seems like an obviously better matchup. Is there some NFL/TV rule that sticks us with the NY teams when the Pats don't play?
