Did you watch them struggle to get past 14 points last night? No way Brady is in his prime like from 2003-2006 or 2014-2017. No way. There are also 2 different Bradys. I agree his arm has never been an issue like morons claim. It's his feet and the speed in which he's not as sharp as his prime years. His ego is far gone, he'd never admit it, but this is huge reason why BB walked. Brady became uncoachable, which is why Garoppolo was drafted. So, this goes back years. Mentally, I think he's locked in with the fire lit, sure. I just think their defense sucks which helps the Pats offense on Sunday. There's more to the sport than what the QB does.You know 18 months ago I would have agreed with you, but the problem is that it's just not true at all, none of it is. Anyone that watched yesterdays Bucs game and came away thinking Brady is in decline is just in denial. I'm sorry but your just kidding yourself at this point, where is the decline exactly? Arm strength? No, he can make any throw on the field still and actually his arm looks stronger than it did in his first couple of seasons. Accuracy? Still one of the most accurate QB's in the league by a lot. Pocket presence? Nope still as smooth operating in the pocket as he's ever been and can read defenses faster than he probably ever has. Now if you want to make the argument that he will decline that's fine, but there simply is no objective evidence that he is anything less than a top 5 QB right now. So to me that really begs the question as to WTF Bill Belichick is doing, he claims he always makes the decision that's best for the team, well then how is it that the best QB to ever play the game is not leading the Patriots right now? I think you are like many of us Patriot fans that want to still believe in Bill, I sure did, but the fact of the matter is that the decisions Bill has made for this team recently, have been catastrophically bad. We are not a better team right now than we were last year, and that is all on Bill, his decisions have brought the team here.
11-5 in 2018, 12-4 in 2019, 11-5 in 2020. Still very, very good, but not in his prime. He also still struggles on deep balls and always did. Again, his last 2 rings had way more to do with his defenses and RBs than Brady himself. That can't be debated. He needs all the help he can get as father time slowly creeps in with Giselle on his shoulder.
I mean, in 2019 and even last year, every game NE won minus the game in Miami with Antonio Brown, the D and STs won all of those games. TB lost last night because of awful D allowing 30 points per game like it's a slam dunk. It takes a balanced roster and 53 to win a SB. We shall see how long TB has that.
