I don’t get it.

Does accuracy drop because you’re 42?

I know boxers (I was one) who boxed late into life, i’m talking mid 40s.

These were the guys who were All strength and NO moves.

But their punches were still accurate.

If they were the local best once, now they were in the top 25.

Brady was still in the top 10.

OK, so he’s NOT what he was.

Wouldn’t he still be loads better than many starters on other teams?

I could be completely wrong.

In this case I am saying that yes there was a drop off in his accuracy, whether he is 42 or not.

Yes, he can go the Brett Farve route and keep playing and yes he is still going to be fadingly great. Those great games become fewer, the net yards less.

I recall Johnny Unitas continuing to play until he was so battered and beaten he had to retire. To my young eyes it was a sad thing to see.

But I could be completely wrong also.
