Brady's not going anywhere...he'll retire when his play starts to decline. He's a very prideful player and won't be one of those guys who hangs on for the sake of hanging on. He'll know when the time's right. I honestly don't know where some of these questions come from...

So true, I remember Steve talking about playing into his 40's before the big hit ended his career. Maybe Brady is that one person in a century that can continue to play at a high level at that advanced age. My take is that his play falls off a cliff sooner rather than later and Belichick pulls the plug in a heartbeat.

I think the reason we traded Montana was that he couldn't stay healthy. That's not the case for Brady since pocket QBs are so well protected by rules these days. Plus I don't think garappolo is anywhere near Steven Young.

I agree, it's not impossible. If they had a good replacement. I'm sure they would make that trade in a heartbeat given Brady's age

The only smart decision the Niners had was to trade Montana. There was a future HOF QB sitting on the sidelines in his prime while Joe hadnt played a full season for over 2 years and was way past his best years.

The big difference though is Bradys health. He is still healthy and playing like an MVP. They wouldnt trade him now under any circumstances in my opinion. Now, give it another 2 years that could change. Sports has shown that anyone can be traded. Still, I would expect him to retire a Patriot.

He is an Anomaly. They surface every 20 years or so. Vinny Testacles was still firing off rockets and bomb s at age 45 in the NFL.

It has been the perfect storm..
  • Great system
  • Great HC
  • Pocket passer with excellent lines
  • chip on his shoulder from being a 6th rd pick - making him work harder than everyone else
  • an era of advanced science and nutrition
  • league rules making it easier for a QB to last longer

Honestly, I doubt we will ever see this again.

Belicheck loves him. He will simply tell him when it's over. He would never humiliate him

This thread is still young (so far); these opinions sum up the OP' question for me.

Most likely scenario is his play declines. He retires. He's at the age now where once he breaks down it's over there's no reason for him to fight to do it with a new team. If he was 38 then it's I still have 1 last run. At 40-41 it's just hang em up.

This or an injury.

Laugh at me and call this thread stupid but it's not impossible to me. The patriots are known to trade great players away when they don't think they can contribute as much as they used to. Brady is still amazing but at 39 he's getting up there and they might think Jimmy G can play and start for them now. It's a long shot but even Montana was traded away, so it's never out of the question.

5 SB's, Kraft is going to let him retire on his own terms.

Why is this even a question. He'll 99.99% retire a patriot.

They would never kill the momentum they are on by trading Brady. Trading Brady would show changes and a shift in power. I think they will retire him as a Patriot unless he just absolutely don't want to be.
