Agree completely.
When Rhody, illegal contact, Triumph and many others started shrieking about Brady’s decline and the need to go to Garrapolo after the KC game in 2014 I said I would wait until Brady showed real signs of decline before supporting the move to Garrapolo or another QB, and since that time all that has happened has been Brady playing better than any other player in the NFL, and Brady leading the Patriots to the two best comebacks in Super Bowl History. And all Brady has done this season is to lead the Patriots to the #1 seed in the AFC, (sorry Garrapolites it’s impossuble to lead them to the # 1 seed in both conferences), be named the starter to the All Pro team, and the most likely player to be named MVP. None of these are considered signs of decline by any sane person. Had Brady struggled after his return last season and followed it up with an average 2017 I would be among those saying it’s time for him to hang them up, and I would have opposed the Garrapolo trade because it would have been time for the succession and in the best interests of the team. I also think that had that happened Beady would have been the first to recognize it and would have told Belichick that this was his last year. The most striking things to me about this is that so called Patriot fans want Brady to step down while he’s still the best player in football, and that those same “fans” are openly rooting for the Patriots to fail. No real fan of any team wants them to fail so I don’t consider those people to be actual fans. And now that I am paying more attention to it I’m realizing that almost all of those posters only engage in threads about replacing Brady with Garrapolo, which means they are simply trolling this site.
