Tom Brady is 39!!! Where's the OUTRAGE???????

What does DT think?

An obvious cheater, just like Lagat, Lance, Regina, Gatlin, and Gay.

He's not doping...it's called good genetics and not getting sacked as often as other QBs (he had the lowest number of sacks out of the starting QBs this season). Brady had one major injury in his illustrious career - a torn ACL that cost him one season several years ago. Look at Peyton Manning, a major neck injury in 2010 and an assortment of chronic injuries since then. Manning missed almost half of 2015 due to plantar fasciitis and limped through playoffs & Super Bowl. And take a young QB like Teddy Bridgewater: a completely blown-out knee during a non-contact drill in practice last season that potentially could be career ending 😔. So, consider good genetics & not getting hit a zillion times in games is the key to QB longevity.

Brady age cheat?

this

watch the sacks Brady does take. He very rarely takes bad hits. I can remember cringing many times watching Peyton get drilled. Sure some people might say Brady isn't tough, but it's not about how hard you can get hit, it's about winning. He does take care of himself off the field, but I also think he is very smart on the field in terms of not putting mileage on his body based on unnecessary punishment. He's done this most of his career.

And it's not like he's 39 and running around like a kid. He's a slow dude, whose using his wits to win games. More of an aging curveballer vs a power pitcher still throwing hard late in his career. Roger Clemens, there's a Boston drug cheat.

The guy goes to sleep every night at 8 pm and eats a crazy organic diet.

Also, he's a quarterback. Sure you need to have a good arm, but the job is mostly decision making.

guys in the NFL don't tend to whine s much as privileged distance runners

Unlike other sports, guys in the NFL who are doping don't have the audacity to call out other players for doping.

Clemens was a fat, mediocre pitcher his last 4 years in Boston. The moment he signed with Toronto the cycles started.

The entire NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, UFC, etc are doped. No one cares.

You've omitted IWF, USAC, ICA, USATF and IAAF. Any reason for that?

Not sure who the first 3 are - United States Auto Club? - but people care about the last 2 enough to destroy the village in order to save it. Good luck with that.

39 is not old is you take care of yourself.

the trick is remaining healthy. that is bradys trick and his teammates helped save his body.

at the end of the day the guy is a miracle to have survived intact.

There is a video of Brady going "over the top" about 5 feet from the end zone.

He makes it but damn near gets cut in half doing it. His standing broad jump is about 3 inches plus his arm reach.

Even if Brady were doping, I wouldn't be outraged because he's playing in the most doped up league in the world plus all the dope in the world isn't going to make him the clutch player and tough competitor that he is. At best it would extend his career and make him recover faster, but it wouldn't give him better QB skills than what he already has.

I think the real reason for his longevity has already been addressed. He's pretty smart with the ball, gets rid of it quickly and if he's about to get sacked, he's usually pretty quick to brace himself for impact. That combined with good genetics (physical toughness and recovery time).

Plus lots and lots of HGH.

I am older than Brady and not impressed by the achievements at his age. I could run within 15 seconds of my 5k p.r. at 39. His longevity in comparison to other QBs is due to his offensive line giving him great protection throughout his career and taking little damage. When his protection breaks down like in the first half and the Houston game he looks fairly weak. So don't give me that physical toughness garbage.

It's one of those guys that isn't impressed by possibly the GOAT QB! He probably also doesn't think "fill in the female flavor of the day here" is that hot. (Yes, I realize that is sexist, but they come and go so fast, I can't keep track. JLo? Paris? One of those Kardashians?)

Yes indeed, It's! That!! GUY!!!
