Its about consistency he has 1 year of play and if he is terrible next year then what? I dont think he will be but unless you can see the future you dont know either
Yes sure, of course... time will ultimately tell.
I just don't think you can categorize him as a "flash in the pan" type of player, like an RGIII-type. QBs don't have 50-touchdown seasons because they got lucky you know?

That's where I'm different than everyone else. I respect players like Luck or Wilson more they play at an elite level with way less help on their teams. Like I said I think Mahomes is good but this talk about him is annoying when he has one season of production. I dont wanna hear how he's better than my qb who has played at a top level every year he has played in the league.
The stupid KC fanbase sure didnt make me wanna change my mind either.

You must be on the younger side, because this was the argument against Peyton Manning for several years! Just kind of ironic how things come full circle.
I have to disagree overall though. Alex Smith QB'd the same team last year and they were nowhere as good. Mahomes has some amazing physical gifts and he showed a lot of smarts this year on top of those gifts. He's gonna be around, and successful, for a while if he stays healthy.

The Chargers are a good team.. they just ran into a very very angry Patriots team that’s been hearing how bad they are and that they would get crushed by the Chargers.
only thing I found odd was the lack of in game adjustments by the Chargers. I am pretty sure the Pats could have dropped 60 on them if they had decided to keep pressing.
I think it was a bit of a perfect storm here. Chargers had to play on the East Coast twice in two weeks while the Patriots had the bye. The weather also couldn't have helped. No matter what anyone says, I have a hard time believing that playing and practicing in the cold every day isn't an advantage for the cold-weather-climate team. (Much like the teams based in the South have an advantage early on in the season.)

He will be the next Eli Manning where he wants to keep playing, but sucks at playing. The difference though in the Pats and Giants is the Pats aren't afraid to tell their star players to take a hike, so I think Brady will be in for a shocking disappointment when they discard him like a piece of trash.He won't be shocked, he knows the deal! He's been around long enough to have seen his teammates and friends mercilessly cut or traded. He knows that day is out there, so it won't be surprising if/when it comes.

I think we had dropped 9 in a row to KC prior to our win. Didn't affect the team's attitude going into KC and winning on their home field.
In all honesty this team is not a team you can judge by any Charger's team in the past. They are game plan flexible, fierce, fearless and focussed. They love being underestimated and they have shown peeks of their best game in various areas all year long but are just now getting closer to playing their best game across the board to peak at the right time.
I'm not afraid. I think it's a year of exorcizing all of the demons of the Chargers' past.
Brady's career records against other teams/QBs won't mean a thing when the ball is kicked off on Sunday.
Good luck Sunday, hope it's a good, hard-fought, entertaining game!

From Pats Pulpit:
"Belichick told Mangini to not take the Jets job, but to wait for a better opportunity (and you can be certain the same rules applied to Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, and Nick Caserio with the Dolphins jobs). Mangini broke Belichick's trust by taking the head coaching role and then trying to recruit Patriots staffers to join him in New York."
This. ^^
I got warning points for a previous post on this thread, so I'll be more delicate here and just say that I think the ownership situation is something that McDaniels probably wasn't all that whipped up about already, and that any further conversations with Kraft and Belichick only reinforced whatever doubt he already had.
You guys are happy with Reich, so I don't see why you wouldn't just leave it at that. Seems like everything worked out in the end for everyone.

Agree that he beat teams with his brain, but I also recall some throws towards the end that amazed or maybe better word is surprised many.
After watching everything he went through to get back on the field was pretty admirable.
It was.
This wasn't meant as an insult or a knock on Manning. He had an injury that made it impossible for him to continue his career, at least playing at the level he had established.
My reply to the comment was simply based on the fact that nerve damage doesn't just heal. Nerves do not regenerate. The OP's notion that "an offseason (of) getting healthy" would have prolonged his career is simply not accurate.

He almost had the 2014 MVP wrapped up until a loss vs St Louis that led to Elway making big changes with how the team was being coached - which ultimately led to the coaches being completely checked out prior to the playoff loss that year (Fox to the Bears was leaked the morning of the game). Of course, his injuries and new system in 2015 played a role in his decline. IMO, riding out with a SB winner with Denver was a smart decision, but after an off-season getting healthy, I would have put money on him making the Pro Bowl had he decided to take up Gase's offer of playing in Miami.
By the time the Broncos-Panthers rolled around he could barely throw the ball. He helped them win games with his knowledge/awareness but physically he could just not do it anymore. It's not his fault or anything... the guy had nerve damage.

Nerve issues, old age and all, I still think Manning could have been a top ten QB for 15-17 had Elway not taken away PM's control of the offense in late 14. Anyway, going out with a ring was probably worth it for PM.
About 99% of the football watching world disagrees with this.

Also, let's not forget, restructuring isn't the same as taking less.
Sorry, but what does his wife’s net worth have to do with his NFL contracts?

Whether you hate Brady or love him, you have to admit, it's NEVER been about the money for him. The guy genuinely wants to win -- that's really the only thing that motivates him. He's left tens of millions of dollars on the negotiating table throughout his NFL career.

Considering where most of Belichick's 5th round picks end up, this was a worthwhile gamble on New England's part.
Football aside, I just hope the guy gets well. -

RIP Favre's 2nd place ribbon to a guy who can't throw more than 10 yards.
This 1 is a stretch but you'll enjoy it. The last 3 plays where Tom Brady was asked to make a play more physical than throwing a checkdown or barely more (honestly he can still throw pretty far withput the fire on it similar to Peyton towards the end) went like this:
Drop
Rushing TD because the guy was scared to grab him to hard
Catch and downed by the turf monster
You're so bitter and angry.
I know it's hard to accept that Brady is the undisputed GOAT. They happened to actually lose a game (gasp!) this weekend and he didn't look great, so you're all over this like flies on you-know-what.
But if it what Brady does is all as easy as you claim, every QB would do it. Since your hero is a turnover machine who lost as many big games as he won, I don't expect you to understand.
50+ more interceptions than the next guy!!! LOL!!!! It's not even close!
PS - You mad, bro?

The talking heads love to tell us how brady has such a awesome health diet and workout regiment.
The dude can't run without Stumbling and Bumbling his way to the turf.
Josh McDaniels better stick to having his qb to dinking and dunking exclusively. Lol.
If it's that easy, how come all QBs don't do it?
I've asked that question for over 10 years now with no response whatsoever. Sad as it is to say it... the most accomplished QB in NFL history is far from the best athlete!

Gotta give the Titans credit. They played a good game.
This is the type of game, though, where I always question the notion that Brady "always benefits from having great defenses." That narrative has been over for a long, long time, actually. Their defense was awful yesterday. Just awful.
It's been like this for years, though. It would not surprise me if Tennessee drops the next two or even three games. Teams gear up to play them like it's the Super Bowl, and then - win or lose - they're lost for a while in the aftermath. (See Jacksonville.)

No Adam Gase was hired in 2016.
Yeah there would be more on that list, too. Rivera, Garrett, Harbaugh, etc.
I didn't want to cheat and look it up though, lol...

Without looking it up, I want to guess that they're the only teams that have had the same head coach in that span. The only one I'm not sure about is Miami.

Nope, Gase has only been there since 2016...

Over the past 5 years, what separates these 7 teams from the other 25 teams?
Packers, Patriots, Chiefs, Steelers, Dolphins, Saints, Seahawks

And and couple special team scores
True. Patterson broke even though, since he scored on a kickoff return but also fumbled the ball away deep in NE's territory on another.

I think you know what, exactly.
What the guy said doesn't dispute what esmort said.
A hit that would have been a sack last year but not this year isn't a narrative. It's literally what happened on that play.
So if it was 2017, and Speaks thought Brady released the football, he would have tackled him anyway?
-
Missing Edelman (without Amedola around to fill his role) was the main reason behind the Pats' slow start this year. They've played without Gronk (2016 season, won the SB) and without Edelman (last year, lost the SB) and had success without them. But of the two, I think it's clear that Edelman is more important to the offense.
Their defense is basically where it was a month ago... not very good. But when your offense can put up 38 (yesterday) or 43 (last week) points, you're not asking too much of your D. Just a couple of red zone stops and maybe a turnover or two.

None of that disputes what esmort said...keep trying
Keep trying... to do what, exactly?
The guy said himself, "I thought the ball was gone."
That doesn't play into your narrative but it's what he said.

The only reason Brady was able to "squirm away" was because the defender was afraid of getting called for roughing the passer. Last season that would have been a sack.
“I thought the ball was gone … and I ain’t taking him to the ground.”
Speaks’ words there, not mine.
I would imagine defensive linemen are pretty conditioned to pulling up once they think the ball is gone. The penalty thing is a secondary issue here. It’s really only a big deal big of disdain for Brady and, to a lesser extent, Brees. Indy has had to suffer through a lot of games without Andrew Luck, and while I understand the football purist and historical point of view, it’s a different game now. Don’t you want him (Luck) to get a little extra protection? The game has changed, you can either try to adapt and enjoy it or you can sit around like a crotchety old man on a porch swing, complaining about everything.
All in good fun.

Some good young talent on that team, and I like Coach Lynn. I think you've got plenty to be excited about with the future.
