Odd that some folks seem unable to call it a day.....

Does he need more stats or more money?

Is it worth the injury risk?

Only one year ago he had one of his best years statistically, two years ago he led a second tier team to a Super Bowl NFL Championship.

This year wasn't great, and he doesn't want to end on that note. He is in utterly uncharted territory, and he won't be able to do this again when he eventually ages out. He decided it was worth the injury risk when he decided to be a starting NFL QB.

Peyton Manning's neck injury led to warnings that if he came back, that he could easily have catastrophic health consequences. He came back and got a second Super Bowl with another team, then retired.

Brady's wife abandoned him. His kids and football are what's left.

As a Rams fan, I am certainly not a Brady fan. He does, however, have my respect.

It is really odd about him. He has achieved everything you can achieve in football. He has won multiple Super Bowls. He will be in the Football Hall of Fame someday.

Age will catch up with him as it does every player. If he does play in 2023 that may well be his last season.

Maybe he truly enjoys playing?

It’s the only life he’s known. His big passion. Plenty of people in other fields keep working until very late in life. Athletics is a different world.

I don’t think Miami should pick him up. He’s expensive and they’d have to blow up the team to fit his salary, and they’ve built a pretty solid unit.
