OMG Brady’s final pass a pick 6?

Before you look those up - I am BSing. I do not know what any of those dudes did on their “last pass” because no one cares. Think about it.

Except Brady will know...…...and it will eat at him for a long time.

Only until next season.

I don't see the big deal. They had zero chance of coming back and it was a deflection, anyway. Russell Wilson's pick in the Super Bowl was far worse.

Heard an interesting take this morning about Brady's future. His time in New England is done but, he wants to play two more seasons and at a franchise with talented receivers and tight ends. He wants to stay in the AFC and can't be in a re-building project due to his age. The best landing spot for him is...

Indianapolis Colts

They went 7-9 this year and Jacoby Brissett is nothing to get excited about. Their receiving corps is young and good. The O line is strong. He gets to play his home games in a temperature controlled dome - no Boston area extremes of heat, humidity, rain, snow, etc. If the offense is tailored to Brady's game management style of play, they could make it work.

I remember Favre’s last pass as a Packer—it was a pick when they played the Giants at Lambeau (Giants went on to spoil the Pats perfect season). Elway had the good sense to retire after winning his second super bowl. Montana, unfortunately, chose to play for the Chefs after the niners and those years are forgettable.

Point being, Brady should’ve retired like Elway (or Manning for that matter) when he was SB champ. Go out on top. People will remember if that was his last pass in a Pats uniform. I know I will.

You’re too late. Josh McDaniel turned down the colts HC position. If JM was there, TB12 would be there in a heartbeat.

Broncos FTW!!!

Brady will be back in NE.

You have to wonder how poorly the pats have done surrounding him with talent especially after he supposedly sacrificed to give them cap room.

So people will remember a meaningless pick instead of 6 Super Bowl wins? I remember Ali for beating Liston, Frazier and Foreman and not his last fight against Holmes.

Bradshaw's last pass was a TD. He re-injured his arm on the play:

Put Favre in there too. His last pass as a Packer was a INT, and the same thing as a Viqueen too I believe.

I've already bought my LA Rams Tom Brady jersey.

Wrong LA team.

He needs to retire. The second half of the season he was a below average QB. He was 4-5 over his last nine games (2-3 at home) with back to back home losses to end the season and played well in only one game (against Buffalo). He is only going to get worse from here. Every QB hits a cliff at some point, and he has hit his. He could go somewhere else, make a bunch of money for a year or two and the results would not improve. He is still fairly healthy. It is time to retire, and spend some time with the kids and his supermodel wife.

Brady's stats still are pretty decent. 24/8 Touchdown to interceptions, over 4k passing yards. What IS disturbing is only 60% completion rate and 6.6 yards per attempt. They are essentially the lowest he's ever had, and by a wide margin compared to even last year.

I think he gets one more year in New England, and it will be "worse" than this year, and in that he will be forced out.

There’s no way he’s going out like that. He’s too competitive. He will be back next year-most likely for the Patriots. Needs more people to throw to.

He needs more people to throw to? So now he's throwing to opponents to have more people to throw to?

In fact, he could get a lot worse. He is in a system in which he throws 7-8 of every 10 passes less than 10 yards down the field. If he is in most systems and is required to stand in and take shots while going through reads, he could struggle.

Remember, Matt Cassel and Jimmy G looked great in that system as well. I am not trying to paint Brady as a system QB because he is clearly one of, if not the best ever, but the system has helped his longevity into his 40's tremendously.

Has anyone mentioned that he played with an injured elbow on his throwing arm this year? This guy is very proud and I find it likely that he will be back in New England to remind us what a healthy TB12 can do.

Do you have any reason to believe he will be more healthy next year and that he will last longer or have better stats? Elbow and Knee injuries to old QBs don't get much better and are why a lot of them retire at or before 40. He's about the 6th oldest QB ever. With every year that passes, everything hurts a little more. There is nothing wrong with admitting a person is human.
