He's totally finished.So is Geno Smith, Cousins, Goff, Ryan, and Brissett...doesn't mean we go out and trade for them. The question is, does Bill pull the plug on Mac after two years? If Mac has a miserable December like last year, then I could see that happening. If he shows progress, on the other hand, why give up on a good prospect after two years?
This is probably happening anyway.Or are we going to draft yet another QB and try again?
Matt Ryan? He's totally finished.
Unless Mac goes berserk over the last 6 games he alone wouldn't be enough to block Brady's return. There would have to be some agreement regarding the offense (reverting back to "Tom's offense" as Belichick put it) and then Mac would have to be traded with Zappe assuming the next guy role. Zappe could be groomed under Brady for a couple of seasons while Brady and Belichick try to rekindle the glory days. It's not a bad scenario at all.
Maybe McDaniels will come back also.Even if he was thinking about it no way Brady is coming back here with the offensive coaching staff in the shape it's in.
Right, the greatest quarterback in the history of the league got propped up by an organization with 9 losing seasons in a row. Brady was sensational in 2020 and 2021. He currently leads the NFL in pass attempts and fewest INTs so he's doing something right. A 14/2 TD to INT ratio is pretty solid. His receiving corps hasn't been very good this season either. And his head coach doesn't call obvious timeouts at the end of a tied game because he says he's afraid Brady might throw an interception... his GD INT% is 0.4%.Except Brady isn't playing well...and over the past 3 seasons he's been propped up by Tampa's receiving corps.
No point in engaging him and his schtick.Matt Ryan? He's totally finished.

If you think Tampa's receiving core this year is propping Brady up...He's still playing better than Mac.
Except Brady isn't playing well...and over the past 3 seasons he's been propped up by Tampa's receiving corps. No way he's even throwing 30 TDs in the Pats offense as of now. Bill is going to have to get at least another 2 weapons and hope that Thornton develops.
Agreed, wait until they’re both in their prime.Personally I would prefer to wait until Brady is in his 50s and Bill is in his 80s.

Maybe McDaniels will come back also.
OCAs HC of the NEP?
With that logic fire Belicheck and get a young HC to developIt's not the point.
Brady is old.
That's the point.
Are you developing your future QB or not?
Or are we going to draft yet another QB and try again?
Almost no way TB retires. He’s still at the top of his game and his marriage is over, football is what motivates and drives him.Jeff Howe, looking for clicks. I think there's a better chance Brady and Rodgers retire than end up on the Pats and Jets.
