The Tom Brady rumor thread

[Clonamery]

So where is Brady going?

The HOF.

Interesting...so when he targets a quality receiver it’s 65%.....hmmm....maybe we need more quality targets?

TB’s deep threat===>>between the hashes / 5 yds down field
Hmmmm .....
Wonder why the GM/coach devotes the least amount of resources to outside WRs?
2007 was a lifetime ago

He wants the best deal he can get. It is lousy for us as fans but that is the price of fandom.

People seem to pick and choose what they want to read when responding, so let me clarify once again— this would depend on whether or not you believe that it’s about money, and some of us don’t buy that for a second. That’s where the idea of him holding a grudge against the team (Bill) comes in, and the fans getting caught up in the crossfire.

When I say he wants the best deal, I am not referring to just money. I am also referring to number of years and the quality of the team around him. He has every right to want those things as well in addition to money. I agree though, I don't believe money is the top factor. I believe it is number of years (commitment) and quality of the roster.

If Brady went radio silent @supafly would have a thread up about how Brady sucks for ignoring the fans.

"After twenty years of support he's ignoring us?".


Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

It could also be some behind the scenes (that he brought to our attention in a passive aggressive manner via Tom vs. Time) stuff like the Alex Guerrero situation.

Look, I get it. He wants what’s best for him. More power to him. It’s hard not to look at him a bit differently, lately, though.

That’s totally uncalled for. I haven’t started a single thread in months, maybe years, let alone about Tom Brady.

Your panties are in a bunch because you have a different opinion than I do, so now you’re going to call me out to make your point. That’s kind of lame, and not something that I’d do with you.

Sure. Probably a lot of factors. Lots of disagreements I suppose in 20 years. If you are looking at him differently for wanting those things then that is your prerogative but again that is the price of fandom. We love our players and of course Tom is the GOAT so the whole thing is painful.

Raiders reportedly are out. There was a report recently that the Titans could get Tannehill locked up before they ever have a shot at Brady. The Chargers talk has died down, and they now have giant holes at both tackle spots. The 49ers rumors were widely shot down within a couple days. So where is Brady going?

I'm shocked, shocked to learn that the market for a 43 yr old QB who was never that mobile to begin with has slacked off.

If we reign him I will support him like I always have.
Being a Patriots fan and all will be forgiven if he leaves his best days are far behind him.

Maybe we can get him at vet minimum.

It is possible that BB has nailed this dead on and Brady will come back on the deal BB wants.

Yeah Supafly, I'm just making a point which is that Brady can't win with you.

But I'll leave it at that because I didn't think it was going to rile you up like that. My apologies.

He still gives our team its best chance at winning, and I hope like hell that he stays, but I think some are delusional stating that Brady hasn’t changed at all.

No one needed radio silence, but there shouldn’t be anything that controversial in stating that he’s been different and that it’s not the best look for him in what appears to be giving the team a middle finger on his way out of town.

I will admit that I’ve had my foot placed squarely in Tom’s ass for a couple/few weeks now, and that I should lay off a bit. I didn’t care for his decision to go on the Chargers’ twitter feed and like the fact that they suddenly have no QB, and it’s kind of gone downhill from there. I thought it was a childish NBA-type of move, and he’s certainly helped to fuel the speculation with his interviews and social media actions.

Deep down, I guess I wish that he had handled it quietly and respectfully like Brees, like the Brady of old—but it is what it is.

Mid-life crisis. Happens when your QB is in his 40’s

Probably a good amount of truth in that. The attention that he’s drumming up and receiving likely makes him feel appreciated, which isn’t something that he seems to feel here anymore.

Wow. You got issues.

Of course it is. When you peel the layers off, what is the real market? We will find out in a couple weeks.

Believing in himself even though doing so would seem absurd, and not giving a crap what others think, is TB12 since 2000, and probably before that.
