Tom Brady: What can you say about Brady that hasn’t been said countless times. He continues to defy Father Time at age 38 and had a fantastic season. Brady got off to an incredibly hot start that may have been a historic season before injuries to his supporting cast slowed his production down to a fraction of what may have been.

Regardless, no one reads a defense pre-snap better than him and his movement in the pocket in 2015 has never been better. Brady still has the competitive fire that burns brightly as he’s as committed to football as ever.
Oh and Deflategate? Remember when his detractors said “How will he do with fully inflated footballs?” Well put that one to bed. Brady completed 64.4 percent of his passes, threw for 4770 yards (3rd in the NFL). He led that category for all of the season until Week 17. Had he kept a full or nearly full complement of players around him, 5000 yards was a gimme.
Brady led the NFL in touchdown passes with 36 with only 7 INTs and had a passer rating of 102.2. He also led the league in touchdown to interceptions ratio with 5.1.
Jimmy G. again was relegated to clip board duty this season and no one is complaining. It was a possibility that he would’ve had to start the first four games but that wasn’t the case. He took a few kneel-downs during the year but continued to learn at the foot of one of the greats. Next the RBs:
