Do you think you’ll feel differently once Tom does decide to give up his NFL career? He has done a lot that we may never see any other player do in our lifetime.

He’s had the best career of any QB ever. I might not like him, but I certainly respect him now. That won’t change. 

Agree with this. However, he was abrasive, unlikeable as a character, a poor sport, displayed poor characteristics on the field of proper decorum, and was just a brat.

He’s been great but also incredibly lucky see the tuck rule and the Pete Carroll goal line decision.

But I can’t take away what the man has accomplished going from pick 199 to being in the conversation as one of the greatest players ever.

His announcing career is going to be interesting in the times he’s been on the Manning cast he’s been a solid interview. Fox will have him in the booth calling the Super Bowl. I get the feeling hes going to be good at it.

I have a lot of respect for what Brady has done on the field - love him or hate him it's hard to argue that he's not a first ballot hall of famer. When you consider where he was drafted and the fact that his initial career trajectory was supposed to be a guy hoping to make a roster every time his contract was up and never really playing the contrast to his play on the field is even more impressive.

 

Having lived in New England throughout the whole Brady era I never really saw him mesh with the fans or the community. He did some good charity work with an organization called Best Buddies to benefit people with intellectual disabilities, but he always seems like that guy who kept everything at arms length. He never stuck around in the offseason. He was busy jet setting with his supermodel wife. While the area is loaded with blue collar sports fans he was never close to being with them. I'm not saying he had to become a guy who would show up and drink with the regulars in Southie, but he just wasn't a fit for the community and fanbase. That is one of the reasons I'm so thrilled we have Josh Allen - not only is he a phenomenal and exciting player, but he really fits the Buffalo community. For a guy who signed a quarter billion dollar contract he really seems to be one of us - he gets Buffalo, its fans and what is important to us - he has the same values and seems like a kid who could have come from WNY.

No because he will still be in my face non-stop, Fox didn't pay him $350? million to be "retired".  And he is boring and dull on his podcast, he will be dreadful..Ther are only so many Bardy/Belichek anecdotes I can tolerate.

It could go the way it went for Brees.  One and done.

Meh, Miami fans feel the EXACT same way about Josh Allen. Fans will always dislike the other teams QB, and they will really dislike him if he is good and has a history of beating the snot out of their team. 

 

I rather have a dude that shows fire on the field over someone like Herbert who is emotionless.

No, because I already have respect for Brady after he won his last one with Tampa. That was one for the ages. The fact that he put Mahomes in his place was icing on the top. 

Tampas defense didnt give up a TD

My opinion of Tom Brady began to change as I got older.    When I was young and more immature I hated the guy, thought he was a product of cheating and preferential treatment from the refs.   As I became a more mature person, and started to see how age impacts your athletic ability I became more in awe of the things he was able to do in his late 30's and early 40's. 

 

My opinion of him today is he may be the greatest champion in any sport all time.

The cheating though. Tarnishes everything.

 

Too bad too, because he and Bill have what it takes to be some of the best ever without cheating.

 

But they did. And now they are pieces of trash who sullied the game.

 

F them both.
