Lol, trading for Brady is probably the worst idea I've ever heard. Let's trade for a 39 year old QB while we're rebuilding. By the time we're any good again, he'll be retired, but let's try to win a few more games over the next two years and hurt our draft position, making it more difficult to get a long term franchise QB.
Not to mention there is 0 chance that Brady agrees to come here even though he grew up a 49ers fan. He's going to retire a Patriot.
Lol. There's no rebuild with Brady. You're just instant SB contender. They wouldn't give him up in a million years so who cares.
The Patriots have arguably the best coach in addition to Tom Brady and they wouldn't be super bowl contenders with our roster. When you have an awful defense and very little talent on offense, it doesn't really matter who your QB was.
The second time they lost to the giants in the super bowl, they had one of the worst defensss on the league.
They were 31st in yRds allowed and 32 in first downs given up. So it's possible he makes us contenders lol
Our defense wasn't just last in the league in yards allowed - it was also in the bottom half of the league in turnovers forced and sacks. The Patriots 2011 defense had 23 interceptions (2nd in the league) and 11 recovered fumbles (7th in the league) with 40 sacks. Our 2016 defense forced 20 turnovers, which was 19th in the league and only had 33 sacks. We also lost 15 fumbles on offense which was worst in the league (and only 2 of those came from the QB position).
There's no way Tom Brady turns the 2nd worst offense in the league in 2016 into the 2011 Patriots offense which had Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez (before he went to prison), and a prime Wes Welker and even then, the team wouldn't be as good because our defense is worse than the 2011 Patriots defense.
We just aren't a talented football team right now. I don't think it would matter who played QB for us in 2016 - this team wasn't going to be any good. Tom Brady is arguably the best QB ever, but this team may not have made the playoffs with him.
