we definitely would not have gone far, if anywhere, with brady in 2020. That team had downgraded from the 2019 team that collapsed down the stretch WITH brady and ultimately wasn’t close to a sb at the end. If he drags them to the playoffs in 2020, its one or two and done at best.
this year is borderline but id still lean towards likely no super bowl given the way our lb and cb were exposed late. We’re improved from last years roster but still probably a year or so away from legitimately contending . As great as brady still is, he is not covering up that defense we saw the last month throwing to nelson agholor, jacobi meyers, kendrick bourne, and hunter henry.
brady would have wasted the last 2 seasons here. Perhaps (and thats only given that we DO have a good offseason to fill some big holes), he could have been in position to win a sb here next year. Instead he went to a team that had the pieces to win now. He got that ring last year, and he has an outside shot this year. Not as good a shot as last year with the injuries but probably better than his chances here.
