I wish he would have stayed with the bucs another year. He was still working magic.
I agree with Brady. The lackluster play design and play calls are pretty amazing. I feel like could go out there and design and call a game plan better than some of these yokels.
Maybe everybody has all the money they need or want.
The NFL is no longer professionals. At every play, they chimp out as though that was the first time they made a play. It made the NFL unwatchable.
I am REALLY REALLY REALLY looking for 2 fecks to give...
....but I just can’t seem to find them for the woke, knee bending ‘nfl’
The biggest factor in the NFL’s slide into mediocrity has been the salary cap.
With the salary cap rules in place and the constant migration of players between teams as free agents, you have two things at work here:
1. There is no chemistry on an NFL team, and no continuity in development from one season to the next.
2. The typical playoff contender in the NFL might have one superstar, no more than a half-dozen players who are among the top 20% in the league at their positions, and the remainder of the roster filled with guys getting paid not much more than the league minimum.
The NFL and NFLPA have basically outlawed the development of teams like the Steelers of the 1970s, the 49ers of the 1980s, and the Dallas Cowboys of the early 1990s.
How can that be? With salaries almost at Congressional Bribe levels, why would the quality of play be mediocre? Oh. Never mind.
When you’re the GOAT, of course nobody will measure up. It will take decades before there is another Brady.
There was a time when an NFL team would never start a rookie QB fresh out of college, no matter how talented he was. The model was to apprentice for a couple years at least. Now it’s sink or swim, and the results are at best mixed.
As for the officiating, less said the better. Despite making six figure salaries most of them have other jobs, so officiating is a part time gig. And it shows.
With all the respect that’s due to the NFL and in their defense... Tom Brady isn’t playing in the NFL anymore. So mediocracy is pretty much all they’ve got left.
For a while I thought Patrick Mahomes may be a threat to take away TB’s ‘G.O.A.T.’ mantel, but given his latest performances, I’d say that’s not a likely outcome.
When will we see his greatness again... Can you say ‘Not in our lifetimes’??? Tom could use a bit of humility, but I doubt that’s going to happen anytime soon either.
I like watching old games on YT. Recently I saw Dolphins players fighting on the field with Raider fans in 1974 and Tarkenton refusing to run a play because he was cussing out the refs in 1975.
The NFL is a women’s league now. They have a lot of female fans. It’s just pablum. I would rather watch dust gather. And that isn’t counting the “holiday” commercials.
NO Brady six rings without Pete Carroll’s stupid play last seconds of XLIX
