NFL News Tom Brady Retires (Update: Shouts out to Pats players, coaches on social media)

[Guts]

You do realize Brady unfollowed the Patriots on IG in 2020, don't you? I don't know if he's following them now, but he definitely wasn't when he left here.

He's following them again.

 

[Kontradiction]

Youre rehashing it again and again and again for everyone to see.

I mean, does everyone agree, the San Diego Chargers experience for Brees is the same as Brady's New England experience?

Why? or why not?

Who cares about a straw poll? They played for multiple organizations. Their first organization gave up on them and they retired from another. Neither thanked their previous organization. Whether you like it or not, there is a precedent here. Favre would be your best counter argument since he thanked the Packers upon retirement. Outside of him, Montana, and Manning, NFL history is not exactly littered with GOAT candidates at the QB position, let alone THE GOAT, retiring with another team.

I agree he was insulted with the one year deal.

Let’s say we give him that multi year deal. He’s still going to have to put up with below average weapons in 2020 plus covid opt outs. It’s a fair question to ask after going through 2019 part 2 if he wants to continue or just call it a career.

Not just the one deal but the crap roster. He took below market contracts and Bill's management of the roster was putrid for several years.

 

[lancerman]

Ehhh it was only 2 years but he broke pretty much every QB record in franchise history lol. So there is that

There was no way he wasn’t. He came there and got them a title and gave them the two best QB seasons they ever had.

This is also why we better retire his number (among other more obvious reasons)

Brady carried the 2019 Pats, a less talented team with offensive injuries, to a 12-4 season and the 2nd seed in the playoffs. It could have been the top seed if a Pats TD wasn't missed against KC.

The Pats came within a whisker of the top seed in the NYFL this past season with a rookie QB. Brady could have been the difference.

How' did he do in the Play offs again Tenn?

Yeah couldn't carry team with lesser talent.

Yeah we should definitely.

I can see the argument against the Bucs retiring his number since it was only 2 years, but as you stated he was far and away the best QB they've had

 

[SHOWTIME15]

He's following them again.

That's good to hear. Hopefully, the two sides (Bill and Tom) have finally smoothed things over.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Yeah we should definitely.

Bucs are pathetic organization. Not only do they have a racist past towards black QBs, they also tanked their last game of the 2015 season (second half) just to get Jameis Winston. Heck, if Jimmy G goes to Tampa in the offseason he'd instantly be their second best QB in team history and probably be on their ring of honor too.

You and the others deserve it for switching teams. Now you’re back here with Brady retired and the rest of us have to deal with it. Tell me, are you rooting for Joe Burrows in the Super Bowl?

That's right. And you know what? Life is good. There will be no extra credit or loyalty points awarded for you, while I'll do whatever I damn well please, root for whoever I want to root for, and at the end of the day, I'll enjoy posting here when I want and I'll enjoy my life off this forum. On the other hand, you'll still be a miserable, insufferable loser with no life whose life's mission to extract "Bradyites" was a giant waste of time and effort. Such a sad existence.

The energy that guys spends hating Brady must be all encompassing and exhausting. I hope with Brady retired perhaps he can seek help for his psychosis.

At least you admit it...and didn't you say the discussion was more intelligent on the Brady Forum? Why are you here then?

What, miss an all-time epic meltdown from you? This is hillarious. You're in the Brady retirement thread pouting, kicking your feet, screaming like a toddler. Lmfao...thanks for providing this extra piece of entertainment. Usually just watching you get pistol whipped by one poster after another is amusing enough, but this stuff is next level. Imagine having an uncontrollable hissy fit like this on a football forum? Epic.

Oh, is this the part where you thought the board would rally around you, like the end of an action here movie, and they'd embrace how loyal you've been to your (bandwagon) team? Yeah, nothing will happen. No one cares. You're the only one who gives a crap about this stuff. Almost 1,000 messages in the Bucs thread repeating yourself over and over again about how you're loyal and then stanning for Aaron Rodgers, Rob Parker level pundits, etc. And humiliating yourself the entire time...worse than any Jets, Colts, or Steelers fan ever did.

What a waste. Lol...

 

[upstater1]

Tom Brady has as many SB rings as Manning, Montana and Favre combined.

It was a mistake to let Brady go, especially when we didn't have a QB to take his place. Had he stayed he'd now be retiring as a Patriot for life.

And we'd have no QB

 

[amfootball]

And we'd have no QB

Sure we would. We probably draft Mills last year and he gets a year under Brady like Trask had in Tampa.

A. Brady would have retired last year.
B. Mac Jones is a much better QB than Mills.

You are a complete idiot. I told you before to put me on ignore if you don't like my posts. Then you were quiet for a while and then you go off like a bomb today. Do you have anything better to do than respond at 4 in the morning to something I wrote to Ian? Honestly, you and venocol seem to be hotheads. I can say the same thing about your INCESSANT whining about Aaron Rodgers, Mahomes, or anyone not named Tom Brady. Please tell us again how Aaron Rodgers is a fraud. Can't wait.

Do you want me to dig up the post where you said you missed me over the summer when I was on a break?

No just being annoyed with front runners, who bailed on the Pats to follow a player who left.

LOL. Front runner? Wut? Brady was the best player in Pats history and football history. The amount of butt hurt over following him is psychopathic on this board. The sub forum is exhibit A.

 

[NFL Mystique]

I believe there was animosity between the 49ers and Montana for several years following his trade. At least that's what I read on Google.

There was animosity between Favre and the Packers. In that instance, Favre was largely at fault for the split.

There was animosity between Manning and the Colts. Manning retired a Bronco. Releasing him seemed to be a two way street though. Mutual decision.

Brady and the Pats may have animosity. But it'll probably smooth over in time. I don't think one particular party was at fault for the departure. The organization figured they weren't a SB contender in 2020. They couldn't give Brady what he needed for a 7th SB win. The cap comes for everyone. Brady wanted another SB. It worked for both imo.
