Hes 41 not 81, it's not like his bones turned to dust. I agree he more susceptible to injury at his age but also got injuries when he was much younger.The fact that he MAY have a knee injury pretty much underscores the issues that a 41 year old is going to have playing in this league. At that age you're going to get injured easier. You're frail and you're bones are more brittle than 5 years ago. You're not going to want to hang in there against a rush. Everybody's hanging their hat on oh it's Tom Brady, he'll be fine rather than acknowledging that hey, that's a 41 year old guy in a young man's league. Find the replacement. I know a guy, Jordan Love aka "Heir Jordan" maybe can be had in the 2nd or 3rd round in 2020. Either that or Tank for Tua. Guy's the next Steve Young.

That’s one (positive) way of looking at it, although that likely means that we’d need Brady to play a minimum of two more years, as the 2020 rookie obviously wouldn’t be starting or playing much.Just realized Herbert is staying at Oregon. That bodes well for the Pats in 2020 as that is going to be a more quality qb draft than this years draft. With fewer teams needing quarterbacks and Herbert and Tua available, that might open up opportunities for us to take a Fromm or an Eason (lol) or my preference Jordan Love.
The future is looking brighter for us today.

Your post doesn't really make any sense. People speculating on a Brady injury doesn't underscore the issues that a 41 year old is going to have playing in the NFL any more than people speculating in the past about Brady injuries underscored the issues that a much younger player is going to have playing in the NFL.
Those faculties are already failing eh? I won’t hold my breath waiting for a response.You brought it up here in this thread, not me. I'll find your response and get back to you kid. I must have missed it.

Surely there's a talented speed-demon WR on the order of Cooks out there somewhere to be had in a trade or FA signing. Maybe we could even get one this time that has some size, like the guy we had for a while this year (not saying he was fast) that just made a career change. If they were also able to find an up-and-coming TE in trade/FA, or perhaps draft one in the second round (first round pick needs to be a DT), those two components coupled with an offseason of healing might make Brady look quite different next September.
Sounds about right given everything you say in here. Any Patriot fan who wants them to get rid of Brady is a moron. Then again you wanted him gone during the 2014 season so that says everything we need to know.
Wow didn’t know that. Along with everything else FCB wanted to get rid of our QB who went on to win two more Super Bowls, engineer the greatest comeback of all time, and cement his legacy as GOAT. Bad miss on that one huh.
Get them for next year ?Are we going to get Brady some wide receivers worth a hoot to throw to? Right now if an opponent double Edelman, we are so screwed.
Get them for next year ?
Then BB the GM will be failing him and the rest of the offense for another year. Given how they've handled the WR position in the past, I expect them to focus on the FA route/trades first.
Some years Belichick has been a genius GM and coach. But there is no doubt in my mind that his decisions (starting in the hours before the Super Bowl, to getting rid of Cooks and Amendola without adequately replacing them) have been THE major causes of our doom/gloom-y season. Yes, Gronk has lost a step, and Edelman is experiencing some unusual dropsies coming off an ACL, but this team has lost so many weapons that it had when it beat Atlanta. The WR position definitely needs help--especially as Gronk/Julian's days are numbered here as well.
By the way--those of you watching QB play across the league, I'm sure the performances of young guys like Mahomes are making your mouths water. BUT, remember, people were singing the praises of Matt Ryan, Mariota, Wentz, Carr in Oakland, Rodgers, Stafford, just in the last couple of years, and now these guys have fallen off. Even Jameis Winston was being hyped. Heck, people are slagging Goff lately. Consistency is hard to come by it seems. Case Keenum and Kevin Cousins just signed big contracts for heaven's sake. Dak Prescott is a shell of his rookie self. All around the league you see flavors of the month falling on hard times, while only Brady, Russell Wilson, Brees, Rivers and Ben R. (to a degree) have had any consistency. Rodgers should be in this class too but he is turning into an enigma. Point is, I've just mentioned a bunch of QBs considered stellar at one point in the last 3 years, but now most of them are questions. Heck, Eli Manning and Flacco have gone the way of the dodo bird.
