Thread: Brady contemplating the possibility of leaving the Patriots

Apparently all is not well in NE. Guess it will come down to who's ego is bigger, Brady's or BB's.

Tension exists between Tom Brady and the New England Patriots' coaching staff, and multiple sources told ESPN that they believe it could influence whether the quarterback finishes his career with the team that he has led to three Super Bowl titles.


Two sources told ESPN that former rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was drafted as Brady's successor and the move could happen "sooner than later." No source suggested that "sooner" would mean a change during the 2014 season.

Much of Brady's frustration relates to the downsizing of the Patriots offense that stems from questionable personnel decisions and the retirement of longtime line coach Dante Scarnecchia after the 2013 season, the sources told ESPN.


With Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins being traded before the season, the line now coached by Dave DeGuglielmo is so inexperienced that Brady's input into game plans, personnel groups and pre-snap adjustments has significantly diminished.


One team source told ESPN that a conservative approach is necessary and said everyone needs to be patient to allow the team and staff to get on the same page. Brady's declining performance also has been cited internally, a source told ESPN.

Could be completely accurate. I honestly don't see it though. I just don't see the Patriots sitting Brady unless it's completely obvious he's done, and I reallY can't see Brady asking out. Crazy that it even comes to rumours like this though. I mean, as much as we talk shit, the guy is a first ballot no questions asked without a shred of doubt first ballot hall of famer. Stranger things have happened, Brett Farve, but that was a long drawn out crazy episode over a couple years of Brett's ego being held over the franchise.

In short, this would surprise me, and I would lose what miniscule amount of respect I have for that franchise were they to force out Brady.

All good things eventually comes to an end, and the Patriots are at their end.

Would you root for the Broncos if Tom became our QB?

I wouldn't say doomed per se. Although I'd love to see it honestly.

I see what you did there, PAGs.

“Old Spice! Take a look what you’ve done. You’ve made a sexy man right out of my son.

Old Spice!”

Not even Brady's immune to the Patriot Way (it's kinda how he got the job in the first place.) Good luck finding ANOTHER Pro Bowl QB 28 teams passed on TWICE; getting lucky with Brady was just that and no more. Remember when the nations media convinced Shanahan he could turn ANYONE into a 1000 yd rusher? Broncos fans are still trying to forget how well that worked with Tatum and Mike Bell....

And good luck to Denver when Manning is gone. It is what it is
