Well.
He says it’s for real this time.
He looked disinterested for most of the last half of the season. Wasn’t even trying in the playoff game.
Isn’t changing his mind on retirement what caused his divorce? Or was that more of a final straw kind of thing?

Looking back on the old part of the thread…
Played out as you speculated, of course.

He stayed two seasons too long. Should have retired for good immediately after the Tampa Bay Super Bowl win.
Legend or not.
He is clearly over the hill as a football player.

He was still on fire for a couple of games this past year, but agreed. He should have taken the W and rode off into the sunset. The boat party would have been a good farewell.

With a severely dinged up O-line. Like I said, there were a few notable games he was clutch.
But there were a few he was visibly frustrated with his teammates.

He (Brady) apparently is confused.

He is over HIS hill and clearly declining in quality.
He should have left after Tampa Bay won the Super Bowl.
Other players have left while still at the top of their game.
Brady should have followed their example.

Lol - well, HIS hill is Mt. Everest. It’s fine to go a bit over that hill.
Brett Favre was so over the hill in the end he was pretty much below sea level, same with Jerry Rice.
