Brady is having a bad year but I'm not convinced 2007 Brady also wouldn't be having a bad year due to a terrible line, a faltering running game, the sudden disappearance of key contributers (White, Burkhead), an ever changing cast of WRs, and the worst set of TEs since like, idk, 2001?
That's really the problem with evaluating a team sport, it's impossible to not let pre-existing bias factor in given that all the cogs need to be working well for the machine to function properly.
I'm withholding judgement on whether or not this is truly the start of Brady's inevitable decline until we see what this team looks like after a month+ with Wynn, Sanu, Dorsett, and Harry all playing at once. We could continue to underwhelm or we could unleash an offensive onslaught that seems unthinkable now.
