Will your respect for Tom Brady change when he retires?

[LabattBlue]

Hated that Brady dominated the Bills for his entire career. 
 

Have great respect for him.  He truly is the GOAT.

I just hated him on the Patriots.  I don't mind Tampa Tom. 

 

Regardless of what people say, the fear that Brady instilled was their respect for his greatness.  

[Southern Bills Fan]

No way. He's been involved in almost every cheating scandal in the NFL in the past 20 years. He's a poor sport and has always been a crybaby.

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.

 

It really tarnishes nothing. They'll both be in the HOF and Brady will likely forever be the GOAT. Cheating, steroid use especially is really not taboo in the NFL like it is in baseball. Get caught with PED's in baseball and kiss your HOF chances goodbye. In football, you get a 6 game suspension but that is it. Nobody in the media seems to care.

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. 

Skylar Thompson could’ve won that Super Bowl vs Mahomes 😉

Makes it all the sweeter.

He's the greatest player in the history of the sport. I don't see that changing when he retires.

[stevewin]

F him.  In his retirement I will wait for the day when he is Lance Armstrong'ed when the full extent of the cheating finally comes out

[MikeSpeed]

I loathe Dallas and have no ill will towards Tampa Bay, but I was routing hard for the cowboys because of my distain for Brady. He's not likeable in any way.

[PaoloBillsFanFromItaly]

I absolutely didn't like how he handled the deflate gate.

Not because he did it, because he never admitted.

He threw the equipment guy under the bus, destroyed the proofs on his phone...

If he confessed that, not a big deal.

[US Egg]

Never had a problem appreciating what Brady did on the field, didn’t care what he did otherwise.

Do find it humorous how he riles those into having hissy fits.

 

[BruceVilanch]

Hard for me to move past the cheating stuff. 

[Freddie's Dead]

OP is correct, we will never see his like again, a cheating, lying, obstructing scourge.  

[DrDawkinstein]

Yay, he's the "GOAT". He's also a completely unlikable turd, a cheater, a dirty player, and as we saw AGAIN last night, a cheap little B word

 

 

[Baba Booey]

F*** Tom Brady!!!!!! Rules changed for him, the constant  cheating and just the entitlement he and that F***ing fanbase thinks they deserve. Will never like him, last night game was GLORIOUS!!!! Hope it puts the final nail in his coffin.

I have all the respect in the word for Tom Brady.  I just hate him..

[strive_for_five_guy]

TB retiring won’t change what I think of him

Clearly marking forward progress for the refs

[Your Brown Eye]

I always respected him, so my feelings will not change

[dpberr]

I feel the longer he keeps trying to play, he's slightly tarnishing those amazing achievements he had as a Patriot quarterback.  I hope he retires for good and doesn't try to push through a lone, forgettable season in a Raiders uniform.  Mediocre Todd Bowles notwithstanding, this season was a lot of writing on the wall that it's over. 

 

I am often saddened seeing the pictures of NFL legends who finished their careers with forgettable one year stints with teams like Johnny Unitas in a Chargers uniform or Bruce in a Redskins uniform.
