3 time convicted cheaters will always be 3 time convicted cheaters.

When it comes to Super Bowls it's ALL BRADY!

 

When it comes to losses it's a team game.

 

Can't wait to hear him in the booth.

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. 

Nothing will change for me. The greatest QB ever to play the game. I've felt that for years.

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

 

Or Joe Montana.

 

I don't respect Tom Brady cuz I don't respect cheaters.  Nothing will change.

[TwistofFate]

He's the Goat. It took many years for me to realize I actually like the person, Tom Brady, and I only hated him because of 20 years of beatings he laid upon us. 

 

I don't think I'll ever see a qb do more than him the rest of my life. 

 

The dude was a baller. 

[reddogblitz]

I know it's kind of a pipe dream but I hope the NFL does like MLB and doesn't let the cheaters in the HOF.

GOAT discussions of any kind on any subject, while entertaining, are utterly fruitless. All the greats in any subject may have a seat at the table. And it’s a round table.

 

It is a 3D table since rules, equipment and physical training / recovery has changed.  

Many current QBs could not last in earlier eras.

It is why records keep getting broken.

[Nelius]

It's actually trending toward the negative if he keeps going. I had peak respect for him last year. Then he lost his family over a first round exit. It's getting weird, and he looks like a shrunken corn cob.

 

I kind of hope he plays for another decade now, facing miserable defeat after defeat. Kind of like the universe grounding him back into paste for the sake of balance.

Cheater, so no respect.  Just like I have zero respect for McGwire, Sosa and especially Bonds. 

 

Props for keeping his body in shape for this long a career.  Hope it was all natural methods.

 

Honestly, if he never cheated I’d still have a problem with him and his cry baby tactics with the refs.  Tired of watching him get in the refs face whenever something doesn’t go his way.  And that soccer style slide tackle this last game was pure bush league.

[CorkScrewHill]

I will respect what he has accomplished .. but not his demeanor. Another case of him being above the law 

 

after a pick this week he slid at the legs of the ball carrier.. now we know where the baby goat gets it

Eat soap, punk

[Since1981]

He’s a jerk. His wife and kids now also know it. Amazing how his personal brand tarnishes. Rogers too. 
 

Vs. Peyton, Eli, Romo etc ++

Rogers/Brady will have drama queen sh#show's, indefinitely. They’re just not self aware people.

When putting any feelings aside anyone has for him, taking a clear look at his career from 2001 when he got his 1st opportunity up to now.....even anyone that hates or refuses to admit it, you have to acknowledge and to some extent respect not only the success he's had, but the number of years he has played, (maybe still playing).

 

Kinda at least makes you wonder wtf does this guy do to his body to make himself able to play up to 46yo. I membah 10 years ago we all have thought he will start to such and have to retire. Whatever he does to keep himself going I'd like to try it

I'd like to know what's in his personal supply of TB12. 🔍

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

That that his arm is tired and his supermodel woman left him he is a shell of a man

[TheFunPolice]

this morning on WGR they pointed out that Brady threw ONE TD the entire postseason when HE won HIS first SB.

 

In that Rams SB he threw for like 140 yards and 1 TD.

 

BUT IT WAS ALL BRADY!

I've always respected his accomplishments.

 

Absolutely hate the player, but he's undeniably the GOAT imo. There is absolutely zero chance we'll ever see any QB net 7 x Super Bowl wins ever again. FREAKING SEVEN!

 

The Pats were previously among the handful of teams that never won a ring before Brady. Then in one QB generation, they sit atop 1st place with a storied franchise like the Steelers & above others like the Cowboys, Packers & 49ers. That's insane. So yeah, I'll always root against him, but I'm not living in denial either.

[Dr.Sack]

No respect given

If you don’t feel like Brady’s accomplishments are tarnished, you might want to read the following article written by ESPN.

Haven’t read the 6 pages, but if there’s a side that draws a distinction between respect and acknowledgment of talent, then I’m on it. Former, no. Latter, yes.
