TB12 – What does the G.O.A.T. have left in the tank?

It seems to be universally known now that Tom Brady is the greatest QB in the history of football. Brady has done everything one could imagine, and yet he keeps coming back for more. The reigning NFL MVP will enter his age 41 season coming off an MVP and Super Bowl loss after he threw for 505 yards and 3 TD. Yes, 500+ yards in the Super Bowl and they lost. It appears Brady continues to keep pushing forward, yet he has nothing else to possibly prove. He is the leagues oldest MVP, an award in which he has won three times, he has won five Super Bowls and has started eight, the most ever in both instances, and he simply has won the most games of all time. Tom Brady has nothing left to do in the game of football, so I ask, what does the G.O.A.T. really have left in the tank?

All offseason, people began to raise questions if Tom Brady may just call it after his record-setting performance in the Super Bowl and skipping the OTAs this offseason for the first time. People thought and wondered if Tom just was going to hang it up and call it. Well too bad for all the other times around the league, TB12 is more than ready for this season:



So, to answer my question, it looks like plenty. Tom Brady is simply amazing every single season he steps on the Gridiron, and while I do believe he will be able to continue at a high level for even longer, I do feel as though if the Patriots somehow manage to win the Super Bowl once again, Tom will call it a career on that high note.

In a season where he will once again start off without his favorite receiver in Julian Edelman, he has all of training camp and the preseason to create a rapport with some of the new weapons like Jordan Matthews and 1st Round RB Sony Michel, but will also have his old friends of Gronk and Chris Hogan to help him throughout the season. The Patriots seemed to have went all in last season with Cooks, Gilmore, and other additions, but with subtractions of Cooks, Lewis, Butler, and Amendola, it feels as though this will be a season in which the Patriots need Tom at his best more than ever. The tank must be full for at least one more ride. And while asking a 41 year old to put the team on his shoulders more than ever, this is Tom Brady. There is only one Tom Brady.

And before you try to show doubt, remember the wise words of Von Miller. “He’s been great for a long time, and anybody that hates on him is just a hater, because there’s nothing that you can hate on Tom Brady about” said Miller. I could sum it up any better. Don’t show doubt, don’t give hate, because that just makes you a hater, and Tom Brady thrives on the words of his critics.

So, do you think TB12 has one more Super Bowl run in him? Or do you think last season was his final super season?

Let me know!

Oh, and one last thing.... Let's GOOOOO!

Fly Eagles Fly - The NFL's Next Dynasty

By: Scott Edwards Twitter: @scottedwards18 When looking at the NFL, you begin to think, who’s next? Who is the next team to become a dynasty? Tom Brady’s career is winding down, and it seems as though the Patriots empire is beginning to as well, so who else would be better suited to take the dynasty title at this point than the Eagles? The team that defeated the reigning dynasty of the NFL in the Super Bowl may be the team that can become the next one. The team is led by now 3 rd year QB Carson Wentz, who was bound to win the MVP award in his second season until a torn ACL ended his season prematurely. With numbers of 3,296 passing yards, 33 TD, and just 7 INTs, it is hard to imagine that Wentz will only improve has he gets older. Wentz is an unbelievable athlete who possesses pure accuracy, a beautiful spiral on his ball, and an absolute cannon for an arm. The arm-sleeved QB brings an undeniable swagger to the field game in and game out, leaving you in awe after see

Russell Wilson – All Alone

By: Scott Edwards Twitter - @scott_edwards18 For years, at least it feels like, the Seattle Seahawks have been powered by their stellar defense and above average offense. And while Russell Wilson has been one of the top QBs in the entire NFL for years now, it seems as though he hasn’t had to carry the burden completely ever. Yet, after an offseason that included the departures of Sherman, Chancellor, Avril, and Bennett, it all but seems that this team will run through Wilson and what he can put together game in a game out. Those four defensive leaders are now gone, and Wilson faced that possibility last season when he was tasked with half a year without Seattle’s finest. But more than ever, it feels like Wilson is simply… All Alone. Woah. On offense, it has always been felt that Russell Wilson had to make magic with minimal weapons and an offensive line made out of sticks and bones. But it was always okay because you knew the defense could keep the other team in check u
