I agree that missing is not going to prevent Brady from performing. But it means the offense gets less time to gel with its most important player and it impacts the team building process. And it makes you wonder how committed Brady is this year - yes he has always been all in - but all players reach a point where they are not. Sooner or later they do not want to do what it takes to prepare, even if they still enjoy playing the games.
All that matters is TC. That's where the offense and defense ultimately get installed. These are just glorified workouts. It wasn't a big deal when guys like Branch would miss and it's not a big deal now that Brady is missing. It would be more alarming if the rooks and new guys weren't there. For guys that have been in the system, this is much ado about nothing.
