I took it as alluding to retirement, not staying with the Pats.Can’t say the Super Bowl commercial with him saying, “Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere” doesn’t feel misleading at this point

I‘d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping he’d stay a Pat or retire. I think that would be the iconic image, and even good for the game. But, apparently it isn’t good for him and he deserves to do what he wants. Can’t say I’ll be a Tampa Bay fan. But I’ll still be a TB12 fan.
True. I am in Tampa am not happy about this. This is not a long term move and merely kicks the can down the road for the Bucs ongoing quarterback struggles IMO (not their only struggle)Is now a Buccaneer. Pats will go 8-8 if they're lucky this year. Bucs won't fare much better.
Ha ha yep, reminds me of Montana going to the Chiefs back in the day.True. I am in Tampa am not happy about this. This is not a long term move and merely kicks the can down the road for the Bucs ongoing quarterback struggles IMO (not their only struggle)
Arians is looking to prioritize winning now over long term viability. Not convinced his plan is going to work.
That’s what I’m hoping for!Kansas City, 2 in a row easily now!
Who?9ers
49ers if you have to ask then...Who?
Heh heh heh, never heard of em.49ers if you have to ask then...
I think this pretty squarely says it... like my wife and I, it was a million to one we’d end up together based on situation and locale, but we were destined to do great things once we found one another. On the flip side, I don’t intend to find out if it would have turned out the same alone.IMO.
Brady and Belichick have made their mark upon history. Only 2 questions remain:
-Belichick was a losing coach before 'brilliantly' discovering Brady in the 5th round as an afterthought...and being forced to start him after Bledsoe's injury. Can he garner the 'buy in' that he did when Brady was at the helm? He's a great coach, but there's an asterisk there that he was solid in the most important position in the game for 20 years. Can he do it without him?
-Brady wants to see how he squares up against the league when he is not in a system that is completely revolved around his 'best of all time' talent. A new start, a different playbook. A warmer sun. Who knows. (I may not like the Pats...but Brady is clearly the best QB that has played the game.)
Sadly, this is too true. The world of 'hot takes' we live in has no room for anything less. And even if you do, they're going to try to find some negative... or while you're still on the championship podium they'll ask you "so, can you do it again next year?"Because anything less is going to be called a failure. That’s the media today, and sadly, that‘s many, if not most, sports fans these days.
