OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[VectorPrime]

Brady is very clearly aiming at Jordan level generational wealth. Whether that means owning a team or not I doubt it because NFL teams are just so prohibitively expensive and are basically just kept in the family no matter what so the only play would be to have some minority stake but the point is Billion. With a B.

I do not believe he will succeed because sorry Tom I love you but you will NEVER have Air Jordan.

Basketball players are more marketable too

I agree. but obviously passer rating, completion %, TD/INT ratio just didn’t matter in 2015. these MVP voters just pick and choose different criteria year by year

Exactly, and that's why I call the MVP a narrative award.

 

[Deus Irae]

"The fact that they're out there does bring a smile to my face,'' Bucs DC Todd Bowles on seeing Shaquil Barrett and Lavonte David at practice.

 

[Deus Irae]

Correct. Season defensive snap % for Bucs DLs:
Suh 62 percent
Vea 53 percent
Gholston 44 percent
Nunez-Roches 36 percent
McLendon 22 percent
O'Connor 4 percent

 

[Deus Irae]

Want to know how hard injuries have hit the Bucs defense this season? Last year, on the way to a Super Bowl championship, nine starters played at least 70 percent of the defensive snaps for the season. This year? Just two: Devin White (94.6%) and Antoine Winfield (76.8%).

 

[venecol]

And White disappeared in most games, so 1 D starting player w/ >70% snaps. Brady had to carry the team most of the time.

And still got 13 wins. This is where a guy like Brees would have similar stats but 4 less wins and may be sitting at home.

he would have lol. only two of his big passing seasons resulted in 10 or more wins. the rest was 7-9 or 8-8

 

[bigballas]

Can't have one guy winning all the SBs, SB MVPs and the MVPs. I think in 2016 he should of won and not Ryan despite the 4 games. This year I said it many weeks ago that any reason to not give it to him would be used. There is a 0% chance that if you swap names with Rodgers or any top QB that they do not win MVP with Brady's season. No one wants one guy to win everything it ruins the league. Rodgers is a fairy that plays safe and he can have the MVP. The excuses are going to be pathetic because if Tampa gets out of this windy monsoon this weekend they will be hosting the NFC Championship. Rams or SF will destroy GB.

The peak 2021 rams lost to GB already . Why would the recent, under performing version destroy them?

edit: actually looked and the Rams loss to GB was at the end of their midseason 3 game loss streak.. they finished relatively strong apart from losing to SF again

I like the Niners match up wise vs GB than the Rams.

Brady post-career is fascinating to ponder. I believe he has a chance to enter the Jordan stratosphere for a few reasons:
1) He has the career platform of winning like Jordan. His winning is the foundation of his brand
2) He has insanely good looks which makes him uber marketable to a wide audience across a wide variety of products/services
3) He is married to an international super model which will help him penetrate markets outside of the US well
4) Dove tails off of 3, he is married to the most successful super model of all time who has been helping him with his brand for over a decade
5) Brady's will and drive to be the best at everything he does gives him the potential for unmatched success post-career
6) Branding and marketing has changed dramatically since the 90s helping Brady to penetrate markets quicker and faster and more broadly.

Let me know if I am missing anything else?

Brady can’t go to countries like Angola or the former Yugoslavia and have people fawn over him because he’s that large of an international superstar. That’s why he’ll never be Jordan.

It depends what he decides to do post-career. I don't think he is just going to do TB12 facilities.

 

[amfootball]

I hope they can go on a run this post-season with guys staying healthy.

 

[Tottie]

A huge part of Jordan were the shoes and how it ties in to pop culture. Brady will never tough that.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Brate and Howard need to get involved. Perriman playing with a hip injury and now no Grayson

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Heh

What's interesting is his score fell from 32 to 17. Rodgers has been a douche for over a decade, how was he the #2 guy before ???

How Tom Brady became the NFL's first true global icon

As the NFL's first true global superstar and ambassador, Tom Brady has inspired a legion of fans around the world. ESPN tracked down some of Brady's more devoted international fans.

I think Brady's reach post-career will go beyond sneakers for obvious reasons. I am not necessarily saying he will make more money than Jordan (that is a huge ask) but he has a path to get near his heights globally.
