By now, you might have heard that he’s 42 years old. Do you know who else played quarterback well at age 42? Nobody. Nobody ever has. So there’s nobody to whom we can compare Brady’s last season-and-a-half. So instead of that, we’ll have to look at the final two seasons of a number of Hall of Famers to see how their au revoirs to the NFL went.
We’ll go in terms of passer rating, from best to worst.
