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...

Deshaun Watson Injury Shakes Up the NFL

     One day after the Houston Astros won the World Series in game 7, their star qb, Deshaun Watson of the Texans, went down with a non contact ACL injury, ending his historic rookie year. With Deshaun Watson now head to IR, along for the ride is the hopes of a playoff run for the Texans. Watson was doing more for this team in the half of a season he played than any Texans QB from the past 5 years. Watson is tied for the lead in passing touchdowns with 19 and is coming off a game in which he shredded the vaunted Seahawks defense. In that game, he became the first player EVER to put up over 400 passing yards, 4 tds, and over 50 rushing yards. The Texans have relied on their defense for the past few years, but after injuries to Watt and Mercilus, the Texans offense was forced to step up and did so in a major way under the lead of Watson. His injury all but crushes any hopes the Texans had of seeing the postseason.            Wats...

The Return of Josh Gordon

If you were to google this headline, I'm sure you would find at least a dozen articles about this story, but all different seasons. Could this finally be the year Josh Gordon makes his triumphant return to the National Football League? The 26 year old receiver hasn't touched the field since the 2014 season. He's super talented, making the pro bowl in 2013, but his career has been derailed by a crippling drug problem. I was a big Josh Gordon fan, always keeping up with the news to see if it's worth making a waiver claim for him in fantasy. I drafted this guy last year and really expected a return in the 2016 season. After Gordon checked himself into rehab, I gave up, and thought for sure that marked the end of his career. Then he goes and drops that video this year pouring his heart out to the internet, trying to come back. Well it activated what little sympathy the commissioner had and they decided to reinstate him. It's conditional, though, which means he won...
