I respect him for going out before his inevitable health decline and he's become an embarrassment on the field. Like Big Ben.
sloppy end of the season
He always said he planned to retire when he felt like he sucked. While he was still better than most QB in the league, I wouldn't be surprised if he looked at his current performance, his injuries, and the sloppy end of the season in Tampa Bay and decided to call it quits. I won't be surprised if Gronk bows out also at this point.
Meanwhile, Tom Brady’s dad tells KRON that Brady Jr. isn’t retiring at all.
And of course Arians won't bother to stick around either, cause God forbid he have to work through any sort of rebuild.
Why would he retire after a legit MVP caliber season? People keep talking about Rodgers but Brady definitely had better stats than him this year, as well as better stats than Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, and Herbert. He may be past his prime but he's nowhere near a Rapistburger decline yet despite being 5 years older than him.
Why the hell shouldn't he gun for being the new George Blanda? Stamp his name on every fucking record he possibly can.
If I were him I'd show up to the retirement parties and then keep playing anyways. "I never announced anything"He needs 2 more years to be the oldest QB in NFL history, maybe only 1. (Apparently Blanda didn't play QB for his last five years)
but maybe going out on an MVP-quality season feels better than just setting a record for being old.
He doesn't have to move far, team still has decent pieces to be a contender, etc. I could definitely see it.Vikings interviewed Jim Harbaugh on Saturday night

Interesting, guess Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and him were both with the 49'ers during the same period.
