I must admit to always liking Finnegan. I thought his comments were funny. He is a major PITA too. And not a bad second CB at all.
“He was born in a manger, I’ll say that much".
And the 3 wise men, Bill Belichick, Bob Kraft, & Scott Pioli, searched for him and found him at the 199th stable.
Deservedly so...Now this is a blindside hit.
Are players on .500 teams unworthy of opinion?

Yes.

Unless Brady tires of the yearly beating he will be playing for quite some time to come. His arm is as strong as it has ever been and he really is a better QB now than he was in his mid twenties. With the game moving towards complex sub packages as the new "base" the value of the smartest and most experienced QBs will only go up , And they don't get any smarter or more experienced than Brady. As long as his arm strength and accuracy hold up he will be playing QB for the Patriots, and I will wait until I actually see deterioration before considering whether the end is coming. Age alone is not a factor.
In their defense, Cortland Finnegan is a total douchebag.He's talking about Brady playing to 40 and beyond. No matter how good a player is if they've been in the NFL until they're 30 they're certainly going to have an idea about the type of punishment their body is taking.
I don't think the guy's talking ****, but whatever. It's a player from another team talking about our QB so unless it's a nonstop verbal **** sucking you guys are going to be super offended.
I laughed out loud at the last sentence. There's no question Brady is in great shape and I would love to see him play at this level well into his 40's. But not many quarterbacks have done that. You can pretty much count them on one hand. Until I see Brady do it, sadly, Finnegan has a point. History is not on Brady's side as more often than not, quarterbacks fall off when they get to that point.I'm in better shape at 41 than I was at 31.
Also, many more people want to hit me these days.

A few of us did.Did anyone read what he actually said?
I don't think it'll be his arm strength that does him in. I think that when something does inevitably go, it'll be his ability to recover from one Sunday's beating before the next Sunday. I fully expect that he'll be mentally and physically able to play a single game well into his mid-late 40s, but there will come a point where he won't be able to play a game every week anymore.
That seems to be the recurring theme with all of the greats as they age, across pretty much all sports. Eventually your body can't recover fast enough to hold up to the grind. I do think Brady will push that day further out into the future than anyone has managed to before him, but eventually he'll hit that wall too. Hopefully that's 5+ years out, though.
