    I believe he will play until he cannot. When that is...I'm not willing to guess, because nobody has managed to get it right in ten years.

    Remember reading years ago when the debate as to who was the better QB , Manning or Brady , which seems a bit silly now . Anyway , the author said the difference between the two was this , Manning was like a coach on the field, he was never interested in being one of the boys , you either did it his way or you became irrelevant . Brady was more of the ultimate team mate , as interested in your success as in his own and willing to adapt his own game to suit other player's strengths .

    He'll see how he feels and decide. Seems he likes the weather there.

    "I really think I can play as long as I want," Brady, 44, said. "I could literally play until I'm 50 or 55 if I wanted to."

    The father of three added, however, "I don't think I will obviously," noting there is a reason behind why his legendary football career won't extend that long.

    "... My physical body won't be the problem," he explained. "I think it'll just be, I'm just missing too much of life with my family."

    And then there's Aaron Rogers. Making his own kind of notoriety .

    To be truthful, it doesn’t appear to be a type of sport that requires much skill, fitness or finesse…. Brady seems to have been lifted to the heights of Zeus because he can throw a ball …

    I have watched almost every game Brady has ever played and IMO his status as GOAT has little to do with his ability to throw which, imo, is at best average. It is his knowledge, decision-making and game play which is superior to most others (coupled with great coaching past and present).
