Probably, but arguably if he had a supporting cast like the Niners have, he'd have at least been good and not mediocre. It's tempting to think he would have won the Super Bowl if he'd started in Handsome Jimmy's place, but maybe they wouldn't have gotten as far with him as the starter in the first place because he would have frozen out Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne after they ran the wrong route in week 2 or something.

Do Niner fans actually want this? Because it's a Wednesday during the dog days of the NBA season. They gotta talk about something, and I did hear a report that the Niners inquired about trading for Brady before they got Handsome Jimmy. 15 minutes ago, Red Tiger said: Brady is 42, won't he just be worse next year?

Calling bullshit on that breakdown. In 2018, he had a dip and then recovered later in the season. In 2019, he just dipped. 9 minutes ago, DanteGabriel said: Probably, but arguably if he had a supporting cast like the Niners have, he'd have at least been good and not mediocre.

They might score more though, meaning more time with helmet off, more celebrating, greater chance of celebrating at the end. What he lacks in comparative quality can be made up with quantity. Jokes aside, I love the speculation of Brady going to SF and Jimmy going back to NE. It would actually be easy to do with a sign and trade. How great would it be if Brady and the Niners faced BB and the Pats in the Owl. Then we could finally know..... Spoiler It's Belichick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019, he just dipped. I trust Mina Kimes, but a quick look at his stats doesn't back it up unless they mainly focused on the TD-Int ratio. Regardless. the Niners are probably the best fit for him though because he wouldn't have to do a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the last 8-10 years, I think it's become more of a thing. First I can remember this becoming noticeable was 2013 when Welker left, Gronk was injured, and he had to break in a new crop of rookie receivers. He bawled out the young guys on the sideline and threw tantrums. That became a big storyline this year too. I had a rant here a few weeks ago about how the Patriots offense is too complicated and the team hasn't been good at developing young receivers for basically forever. Brady and McDaniels trying to play 4 Dimensional Wizard Chess all the time is part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of both teams but primarily the Pats I'd just be curious to see how Brady in SF would go, and I know Belichick wants his olive-skinned adopted son back.

Trebla Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I knew this was coming. The big question is how this effects the start of free agency. Does it begin? Are visits allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL announces they are going ahead with the start of the new league year. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28891831/nfl-not-delaying-start-league-year-coronavirus We'll have to see if this will eventually disrupt strength/conditioning and OTA's. Some begin April 1st. Here's a league schedule. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001024960/article/offseason-workout-dates-announced-for-all-32-teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 So the NFL and the toothless Players Union agreed to a new deal, with a 17 game season. Hooray! More injuries! Less meaningful regular season games! Kill that golden goose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
