One word to describe how Brady feels about Saturday's hoo-ha? Not happy. That’s two. You get the point. If and when word moves that he’s done, he wants to deliver it. Not Adam Schefter, Jeff Darlington, TB12 Sports Therapy, his dad or his mom.
I took him at his word that he’d play until he sucked. He doesn’t. He just finished the most productive statistical back-to-back seasons of his career. In 33 games with Tampa, he threw for 9,949 yards with 83 touchdowns and 24 picks. He had career highs in attempts, completions and yards while leading the league in each of those categories and in touchdown passes.
In 2020, he had something to prove. He more than did that. And 2021 was a season in the afterglow. The Bucs weren’t losing anyone. They had every right to think they could be the first team since the 2003-04 Patriots to repeat. The family was happy and settled in.
There’s a difference there. People can eyeroll all they want at the TB12 Method and Brady’s monkish devotion to hydration and pliability but if devotion to those practices helped Brady become arguably the greatest performer in American team sports history, hasn’t he further made his point there as well? That you can extend your competitive longevity?
