Brady retire?
 

Will Brady retire after loss in SB?

Even though the Eagles didn't give him a off season in a Minneapolis hospital, could they have stuck a just as fatal blow to the Patriots?

No.

Gronk maybe, but not Brady.

Uh no. He played awesome. Why would he retire?

Despite passing for the most yards ever in a Super Bowl, between his wife busting his balls for retirement and the pain of losing a Super Bowl again I can see him giving it up. But, if he’s going to, it would be nice if he did it soon so the Patriots can go out and get one of the many decent free-agent quarterbacks available this off-season. It would be pretty funny if they ended up signing Nick Foles.

No copper, Brady hasn't filled a bottle of tears. He has nothing to be ashamed of. He is the GOAT.

Nice thread title doosh

He'll be 41 and already missing practices because of his age. Bill wanted Jimmy not old ass Brady. No doubt he will fall off the cliff next season. If he doesn't then he's on the juice. Nobody can take hits and play football at 41. Kraft needs to give it up and let him walk.

Brady said multiple times yesterday that he's playing next year.

OH POOR BABY WILL YOU BE OK?

Give me a god damn break

Nope nope nopity nope Montana is the GOAT and never lost a SB and certainly not to a backup who about quit. :D

GOATs don't lose Super Bowls to Eli and Nick Foles. Brady isn't even the best QB of his own era, let alone the GOAT. Rodgers is better than him.

Rodgers and Montana's defenses never game up more than 25 points in the Superbowls

How is Brady supposed to keep Foles from scoring 41? Brady is the GOAT and this game further proves it. By the way, the Philly defense was playing at an elite level heading into this game.

But he lost a playoff game with a loaded Niners team to a good-not-great Vikings team, going 12 for 26 with a killer pick six before he was BENCHED by Walsh.

But hey, it was the Super Bowl, and he was undefeated there, so that means...something. I mean, it's better to NOT get to the Super Bowl at all than it is to get there and lose.

:rolleyes:

I dislike Brady about as much as any non-Patriot fan can but there is no way in hell he's retiring after putting up over 500 passing yards against the Eagles' defense. That loss was not on him.

Hey, guess who lost a playoff game to Eli Manning in 2011? RIGHT, Aaron Rodgers!! :eek: For the record, he has also lost in the playoffs to Kurt Warner, Aaron Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, Carson Palmer and Matty Ryan. But hey, none of them were Super Bowls, so they count less!!

Besides, even Aaron Rodgers disagrees. :shrug:

Look the reality is that the NFL is a TEAM sport. No matter how many dumb fans want to say it's ALL about the quarterback, ti's not. It's MORE about the quarterback than any other position, but this isn't ****ing tennis. It's a TEAM sport.

Well he finally proved his wife correct...he can’t throw it AND catch it!

If SysTom was saddled with Dom Capers' "defenses" his whole career, he'd be ringless. It's a testament to Rodgers' greatness that he was able to drag Capers to a ring.

Who never lost in a super bowl he played in. Yeah not TB but if it makes you feel better Brady's fumble made him the GOAT of this last SB.

Montana never lost a Super Bowl and never even threw an interception in a Super Bowl. And he did it in an era where teams were still allowed to play defense. Can SysTom say the same?

Makes me wonder how he does it?

41 years old and still playing at a high level despite taking all those hits, not slowing down either isn’t normal. Heck I’m 39 and I don’t even play football and do physical labour that’s way less intensive than football and I got all sorts of ailments on my body.

****ing hate Tom Brady.

He also played Super Bowls against AFC teams in an era when for the most part the NFC was beating the AFC like a drum every damn year. Alot of those games weren't even competitive, and it didn't much matter which NFC team it was that was there that year.

Meh, whatever. Pointless debate. You won't be convincing me of anything, and I won't be convincing you of anything either. I loved Joe Montana too. If you want to keep him as your number 1, I'm fine with that. Not that you care, of course. :D

Obviously. But I do hope Brady retires not winning a SB. ****ing cheating a**hole!

I know didn't we hear how foles and pederson walked into this great defense?
derp derp defense wins championships derp derp

It always astounds me when people say this QB didn't beat that QB. You do realize that there are defenses in this game correct? That the QB's are never actually on the field facing one another at any point during the game, you get that right? It's as ridiculous as saying that Tony Gonzalez wasn't the GOAT TE because he couldn't beat Antonio Gates.

Tom Brady is the GOAT because throughout this entire 17 year stint, the only two constants to the Patriots success are Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick. If you want to make an argument that Tom Brady isn't the GOAT because he had Bill Bellichick there, then I could understand it. Sometimes you have to man up and give a guy his due, Tom Brady has earned his due. You may not like it, but it's just fact at this point.

Literally no reason to respond. You know that, Amn.

No no no no the loss is all Brady's fault. If he hadn't fumbled and scored 1 more td the 2nd half they would have won. The defense held them to 41 points, what more could you ask for??????

Which just goes to show how tough the NFC was back then. And Montana had to go through that gauntlet every year.

In contrast, the AFC has been a total joke in Brady's career. It's been the Patriots, Steelers and Peyton Show with occasional cameo appearances by the Ravens.

He on the TB12 juice, he'll play 'til he's 50.

I think teams were better then. Athletes are bigger faster stronger today but with the extra practices teams executed better than today. But you can't really knock someone because of their level of competition. It's not like they are fighters and pick their opponents. I always thought montana was the best but have to say brady if I use the same criteria I used to pick montana.

Montana playoff finish every year in San Francisco

1981. Won SB 26-21
1982. None
1983. L 21-24 to WSH
1984. Won SB 38-16
1985. L 3-17 NYG
1986. L 3-49 NYG
1987. L 24-36 MIN
1988. Won SB 20-16
1989. Won SB 55-10
1990. L 13-15 NYG

So Montana won the NFC 4 times but was owned by the Giants and their mediocre quarterbacks

Yes, but that Giants defense was loaded. Brady would have pissed his pants and curled up into the fetal position if he had to play against those guys under 1980s rules. He's used to the glorified flag football league where defense isn't allowed - and he still gets coddled by the refs more than any other QB in this soft era.

After his bitching to Kraft got them to trade Jimmy Grapes because Tom wanted to keep playing, it would be the biggest dick move ever to retire.

If there wasn't a bad rift before, there probably is now. Brady should be ****ing pissed at the entire defensive side of the ball, all the way up to Belicheck. Throwing for 505 yards and 3 touchdowns against that monstrous defense, and they lose?

He just needs more weapons

Who was going to beat the 85 bears? 86 was Lawrence Taylor's best season.
There were more good teams when montana played but that's not brady's fault. I say to any chief's fan who is skeptical Who's track record would you want as a qb? I'll take the one with the most SBs for my team any day of the week.

I think it's time for the AFC to be ran by Mahomes, Watson, Carr, and Luck as it should be for the next 10 years. I'm sick of Ben and Tom now.

So brady is 1-1 when down 8 at the end of SBs the last 2 years. How well do some other qbs playing today do under those circumstances? I only hope Mahomes is as good given the chance.

Just like Peyton, was hoping for 1 last win so both Tom and Bill would retire. But since no guarantees, **** em. I'm soooo glad they lost.

Not hard to play when his line NEVER gets called for holding. Even against elite pass rushers. Defense can't sniff his receivers on third down or its flag city. Pathetic.

We will miss Brady's dominance years from now. Patriots are a hateable team but since 2001 have been THE team to beat. What a legacy.

Are they really going to put a 41 year old on the field? I realize he was good this season but it all comes crashing down in a hurry for athletes. In a New York minute he will suck ass next season. Right around November he will hit a wall.

They could always start Hoyer

HGH and stem cells.

I think Bill and Brady come back one last time. This will be the last season and it won't end in a SB title. It may end with Brady injured.

Reigning MVP. 500 yards passing in SB. He's not exactly like most 40 year olds

In this pussified era where defense isn't allowed, along with all the PEDs he's taking, Brady could probably play until he's 50 if he wants to.

Wait, I thought all that mattered was QB vs QB. So clearly Phil Simms > Joe MOntana in your mind right? RIGHT?!?


And you're also right that Brady hasn't been tough at all in his career. I mean, except for playing for 18 years straight and never missing a single snap except (1) ACL -- lost 2008 and (2) missed second half of AFCCG in 2001, he's been a total wuss.


And then there are troublesome facts, and how they disprove your pathetic belief that he is "more protected" than other QBs.

But hey, don't let facts interrupt your narrative.

They lost so go away. Brady is an old geezer. It almost over for ya.

I hope he's forced into retirement.....but a ****ing injury. **** him.

The goat in the coat.

Troy Aikman said it best "qbs today would not survive the physical part of our day, and would be in shock trying to complete passes versus bump and run all the way down the field. Dan Marino would have thrown for a million yards with today's defensive rules."

Some source said he looked like a female divorcee leaving court after getting a positive outcome in a nasty case. more like a dyke lawyer to me.

he looks like Anne Hathaway when she got her fashion sense together in the Devil Wears Prada.


*edit*...my dumbass thought it was Natalie Portman initially lol.
:loser:

lolwut?

He looks like a D bag to me. Sunglasses inside? Really Tom. He's prepping for his modeling career no doubt. Anyhow, no, he won't retire now. He will come back next season. He won't win a SB next season either, and he will then retire as will BB. There are just too many up and comers in the NFL right now.

He passed for 505 yards, dude. Are you serious? This loss is 100% on the New England defense, which gave up 538 yards and 41 points to a team with a lifelong backup QB.

I think that is Anne Hathaway.

:banghead:

dang it. that's right.





I really Smith'd that one up.

Wow, it must be embarrassing to lose a playoff game to... uh, either a sports writer, lacrosse player or a film director.

Exactly. But Brady stans will find excuses to tell us why Aikman's wrong even though he lived it.

Brett Favre had one of his best seasons with Minnesota and fell off a cliff a year later. It can happen.

Oh, there is no question that the change nature of NFL rules has increased the longevity of NFL quarterbacks -- they take less of a beating than they used to. It has also led to inflation of quarterback statistics, partly due to the longer seasons (16 games vs 14), partly due to the longer careers (see above), and partly due to the rules favoring offensive football, especially passing attacks.

None of that has a thing to do with the current discussion, however. Nobody is arguing Brady is the GOAT because he has more yardage than someone else or whatever.

Yes, definitely possible. Pats fans are hopeful that Brady's famous, completely maniacal, effort to keep his body in football-ready shape 365/12 will push the aging curve back. Safe to say that Brett Favre was not known for that. :D

Bradys eating and exercise habits have squat to do with anything. He got more rest days this year than ever because 40 is 40. 41 will be the end or if not then he is on the juice. Eating won't stop his reflexes or muscles from growing old and slower to recovery. 41 is all she wrote if he plays.

I agree 100% with you. But old timers used to also say the same things about unitas starr dawson. Taking a qb out was a viable strategy back in the day and those guys called their own plays often. Just like he can say marino would have killed today I can say unitas would have killed during aikman's era.

Your predictions are legend.

Very interesting. I think he’s closer to retiring than we think. I give it 2 more seasons max.

He's on Colbert right now. Hydration and deep tissue massage are key, and he's not talking about rertiring. OMG HE"S GIVING COLBERT A MASSAGE!!!

:facepalm:

Goddamn you are bad at this. Just terrible. Please die.

But did he make out with his son?

Have you considered buying a SSL for the New Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park to help the billionaire Spanos family finance the cost of it. Go to the CHARGERS web site and click on FAQ's. They have the fan in mind. Are you fan enough?

ROFL

My goodness.

I concur, Brady would've died in the 80's and 90's with the rules how they were back then.

I think he would have been more apt to retire had they won. Go out on top. I say he gives it another season or two in order to try to do that before hanging it up.
