OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Jackson 2]

Just two weeks. Hmm. That’s too quickly i would say.

You hope....

Brady will increase the lead on all time TDs

This could make up for Goody & the 32's theft of Brady's record when they stole four games away from him (and probably 10+ TDs) in 2016 on phony charges and courtroom lies.

 

[1960Pats]

Does anyone here know if it's possible to have a lung collapse and then not-collapse?

Isn't that what happened to Bledsoe in 2001?

 

[XLIX]

Sort of. That was the infamous Michael Felger question about the Drew Bledsoe lung collapse in 2001.

 

[1960Pats]

Technically he never did anything wrong as a member of the patriots either

Most of AB's problems came while he was with the Steelers, yet hardly a word came from the mediots about him until he ended up with Brady. Something's fishy about that.

You're forgetting Brady has played in 295 regular-season games and Brees only 284

I didn't recognize the connection, but then I didn't/don't listen to Felger.

Meh, I'd say playing in an Arena League stadium for 70% of your games and not seeing heavy rain, wind, or snow for years on end might be a tad bit more of an advantage than 11 games.

You're probably right, but in the NFL record book it doesn't matter

Right, but neither does Games Played matter in the record book.

Let's face it, nobody will care about the record once Brady owns it permanently. It was important when Brees broke it, and would be important if that inbred from Indy had it. I just want Brady to take this record from Brees because I am a bitter, petulant sh!t when it comes to the rest of the NFL.

Was this the record that they stopped the game to celebrate, or was it the passing yards? Or both? Either way, I will get joy having Brady take these meaningless records too. Not because they enhance Brady's status, but because it takes away the only thing the other guy has.

What a miserable attitude I have, but f it. Makes me smile.

I don't know who will end up owning this record - Brees is only 41 and has a year left on his contract. He is playing very well this season (18 TDs, 3 ints), so I don't see why he wouldn't come back next year. If the Saints were to cut him after this season or he would retire, it would mean a $25 million cap hit, which makes it more likely he'll be back in 2021. As for me, I don't really care anymore about Brady's latest accomplishments since he's not on the Pats and he won't break the TD record while on this team.

It was yards the first time, and I believe they did it again after he broke manning's TD record. I would love to see Brady end up with it because he's a personal hero to me, and did magical things for this franchise. I don't really care if he's wearing the laundry anymore or not.

He has a broadcasting deal in the works. Payton also let it slip back in the spring that this was Brees' final season then tried to walk it back.
Most Saints fans believe this is his final year.
If Winston plays anywhere close to what Teddy did last year and the Saints go 3-1 or 4-0 Payton can sign him to be the perfect bridge Qb as they look for their next guy in the draft. Many Saints fans were irked that Payton let Teddy get away.
Doubt he does that again with Winston.

They have some serious cap issues after this season. Assuming the cap goes down they will be over the cap by plenty. This likely could be his last chance at a championship.

If he is cut or retires, there is about $40 million cap hit to the Saints total in 2021-2023.

Also NE usually played with a lead which meant more ball control through more runs, less pass, and more rushing TDs. For NO they had an average to bad defense for almost 10 years. Thus, Brees was constantly slinging the ball in shootout games or garbage time comeback attempts.

But still let's give credit where credit is due. Brees is an all time QB. He's not on TBs level but who is? Brees is definitely an all time great.

Their career passing attempts have been about the same:

Brady - 10,373 in 293 regular-season games (35.4 attempts per game)

Brees - 10,454 in 283 regular-season games (36.9 attempts per game)

Brady played in tougher elements (wind, ice, rain, outdoors), etc. but also played in the AFC East.

Brees played in a dome most of the time, but also played in a tougher division.

Honestly, I'd call it a wash.

With the rule changes favoring offences, all these regular season passing records will be broken in no time. The only records that will stand the test of time for Brady are the ones that count, playoff records.

No question, Brady was way better in the playoffs.
