I’d take a serious look at who’s available at backup quarterback in addition to drafting a quarterback.

Since they’ve chosen to stay with Brady, I think it’s key that that have someone who is able to step in for a handful of games if needed while they hopefully identify and develop the heir.

Considering about 2 to 3 years left for Brady I agree this is the perfect time to start doing that.

Someone a little less injury prone than Jimmy G of course.

What? You don’t think Hoyer can guide the ship if Brady suffered a minor injury?

Honestly, with this coaching staff, he probably could, not that I ever want to see it.

I mean they won a game with Brisett throwing the ball like 10 times.

@Fenway

Disagree with this.

The reason Brady to JimmyG would've worked was because he got a few years in the system.

If there is a QB they like, they should take him. At this point, the contracts line up perfectly again if Brady wants to play until 45.

In thankful everyday they shipped Jimmy g out of town and I hope Brady racks up more superbowls. Back up is my one millionth worry.

I mean it worked out for them no doubt.

But you still have to plan ahead. Waiting until he retires, whether they win again or not, it stupid.

Draft and develop a guy now, and in year 4, Brady retires and he starts.

I'm planning for more Brady superbowls. Any attempt to get him to retire hinders my plan

Brady is going to be 42 when the year starts, and has stated multiple times he wants to play until 45.

I don't see how planning for the future hinders him winning additional titles?

Draft a guy, let him sit and develop for 3 more seasons under Brady, who then, at 45, will retire like he's stated. Next guy gets 1-2 years under his belt as a starter before a new contract.

Not entirely sure what's difficult to understand here.

I'm not saying use a 1st on a guy.

I just dont want a backup and media clowns like Felger and Mazz who would run Brady out of town in a second by pumping his tires getting in the way of any future success. I'll worry about a qb after Brady hangs em up. Go Hoyer!

Easy solution for you. Draft a QB to groom for the future and don't listen to Felger and Mazz.

Everybody just stay out of bradys way and I'm happy. To heck with your next qb plans

If you don't use a 1st on a QB, then you are only allowed to sign him for at most 4 years. That would mean he only gets at most one year of starting experience before becoming a FA. That's very risky and could complicate contract matters if he gets hurt or doesn't light it up right out of the gate. It may have worked once or twice in the past, but it's simply not realistic to sit a guy for that long and use up their cheap rookie seasons in today's NFL.

Speaking of which...

He literally doesn't know anything about football

 

[The don godfather]

Getting a 7th ring is quite possible if Brady goes to 45. I think I'm gonna book it.

In fairness to the guy, this was 8 years ago. JE11 has come a long way since then, and really added to his legacy.

Do you honestly believe half the shit you type? I have to think yes, because you've put way too much time and effort into this character if not.
