TB12 Tells Kraft he's "willing to play another 6-7 years"

[AtomicDawg]

This has made my day. More of these is fine by me.

I'd be satisfied with only 5 more Lombardi trophies. I don't think I'm asking for too much.

If true BB has a major decision to make...

Very big decision

To play advocatus diaboli, a key word is missing from that statement. . . .

that sounds reasonable

 

[Clonamery]

What, in the Old Folks Home?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Don't let Giselle see this. She'll be wicked pissed.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Tom is ****ing crazy... in a good way. I don't doubt his desire to good playing, I am just very skeptical about his body being able to hold up for 6 or 7 more years.

 

[WinstonSmith]

His successor is currently in junior high.

I've convinced TB + 5yrs - injury will be a better, more able QB, than the corpse of Peyton Manning DEN trotted out en route to a dominant W-L record and SB victory a few years back.

I actually hope it happens, just to see how TB might evolve to stay effective as his arm strength diminishes, scrambling ability takes a hit (not much tho ), pocket mobility decreases (this could hurt), but game intelligence and audible play calling remain sharp. Quite sure he could remain pretty effective. Especially if he keeps the cap hit reasonable so a better cast can be built around him to take the pressure off any weakened areas.

IF BB trades JAG for draft value, then a fine supporting cast, protection, weapons & defense could be available for these 5 years.

The heart will be willing but the body probably won't be.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The heart will be willing but the body probably won't be.

yeah, i agree. i just can't see brady playing past 44-45.

 

[Deus Irae]

Every year he gives us from now on is gravy. I think he can sustain excellence longer than almost any QB. But even TB will eventually feel it's time to walk away.

He's given more than anyone could have ever expected/wanted. I hope he keeps it up. But I am curious to see how many more seasons he can excel. And, even more curious to see if Brady wants to keep going when he goes from excellent to good... because that is when people will need to think about making tough decisions.

 

[fnordcircle]

Never bet against Tom Brady.

If anything this news annoys me - well not the news, just that it was shared with the media. It makes the JimmyG situation look a lot more like posturing by the Patriots.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

He's also said he'll quit when he sucks, so we can all relax.
