The only thing that should be scary about the Pats is Brady is 37+...

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Jan 28 '15, 08:21

the # of NFL teams that sustained a dynasty without an HoF QB is essentially 0* (1980's Redskins).

The # of NFL teams to back up an all-time QB with an all-time QB is essentially less than 5.
* Montana to Young
* Favre to Rodgers
* Peyton to Luck (TBD)

Most of the other teams who had 10-15 year runs had star QB's and then ceased to be title contenders when those stars left (Lions / Browns in the 50's, Colts with Unitas, Cowboys with Staubach, Steelers with Bradshaw..etc)

Unless Jimmy Garapollo is legit, the other ages don't mean much from an historical perspective.

    - And missed the playoffs iirc...after going 16&0. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 08:41 1
      - The fact that an 11 win team missed the playoffs is a quirk. They won 11 games with a QB who isn't very good. - David Jan 28, 08:59
    - with the pats and a stellar experienced roster, and a weak division. i'm not saying a new replacement couldnt go 10-6 or 9-7 with this team, but it - Truman Jan 28, 08:41 1
      - also, look at what happened to him in kc. they road charles like a horse for one season with a brillant scheme, - Truman Jan 28, 08:42
if Brady can keep going like he wants to, his age won't matter though -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 08:26 17
- Yeah, but the point remains, they're dangerous as long as Brady is Brady. When they're not, - Will Hunting Jan 28, 08:33 9
  - It'll be fascinating to see if the scenario happens where they consider trading him... - Mel Profit Jan 28, 08:37 7
    - If you read the Sports guy stuff about how Brady just restructured his deal, it's a very very strange situation. - volnelk Jan 28, 08:41 2
      - I remember hearing this the last time he restructured and... - Mel Profit Jan 28, 08:43
      - and he's done it before and they still cut OL and receivers. It ended badly for Montana, Favre and Peyton with the 49ers, Pack and Colts respectively. - Diva Jan 28, 08:43
    - oh, I don't know about that one. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 28, 08:38 3
      - They've traded/cut people who were still seen as vital to their success. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 08:42 1
        
        anything could happen, but this is not quite like Wes Welker leaving. - groiny Jan 28, 08:44
      - Agreed. - Ultron Jan 28, 08:40

- He needs to keep the Decade of Failure rolling. -- nm - Shaun Jan 28, 08:28 3
  - I wish I could fail like that guy -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 08:33 2
    - dude gets a lot of hate for someone who is one of the top 5 or top 10 QB of all time. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 28, 08:33 1
      - They've been the #1 or #2 seed and heavily favoured going in to each season to win the SB for the last 10 years. - Shaun Jan 28, 08:46
- His father says he wants to play until he is 70. -- nm - Ultron Jan 28, 08:26 2
  - fuck his dad, what does Rob Lowe think? -- nm - groiny Jan 28, 08:27 1
    - "Hi, I'm Rob Lowe" "And I'm Tom-Brady-skin-wearing Rob Lowe" -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 08:29
