Superbowl MVP at 43.
Seven rings - is that more than any other team? (Edit: Yes)
Talk about high fucking standards.
Not a bad effort considering how in demand he was two decades ago in the draft.
Goes to show how much of a crap shoot drafting players is. But his lower position helped him land with a great team with time to learn under a great coach. Does he realise his potential if he gets drafted higher to a poor team? No one will ever know. He commented often over the years that his pick position helped drive him, and I guess it is almost impossible to assess how much will, heart and guts a guy has
Brady is an insane combination of a guy with great talent, a massive chip on his shoulder driving him to succeed and keep succeeding, the confidence in himself to take below market deals knowing that success will pay off, and one of the all time greatest head coaches who was particularly brilliant at building defences from undervalued players meaning there was plenty of money to put into the offence. Having Gronk take a long term deal with a bit of a discount early because of his injury concerns, and then being relatively fit for his career helped too.
It's a perfect storm. I don't see anyone else ever coming close.

A disappointing game as a neutral
I thought it was boring as batshit. Decided not to continue having it on in the background after halftime.
I was trying not to be too negative.
I also watched with a Bucs supporter (from Tampa).

Watched it for the first time in years. Absolutely loved it, it's great sport.
Going to start a thread on what NFL has gotten right since I last watched it, which is in direct contrast as to what international rugby has gotten completely wrong.
Afer a weekend of 6N rugby and then that to finish off ... I've got some thoughts to share!

As one sided a superbowl as I can remember
Brady is the goatiest goat who ever goated. What a fucking player. He owned that field today.
As good as the Buccs offence was, the winning of the game was the discipline of the Buccs defence, and how porous the Chiefs o-line was. Mahomes was under pressure every single snap, as the pocket collapsed, or white jerseys were just pouring through.
The Chiefs offered nothing because they were constantly under pressure on both sides of the ball. Great performance from Tampa.
Fucking Brady is a deadset marvel.

KC getting killed by cheap penalties. Costing them big time.
I like seeing poor disciplined teams losing.
Imagine being selected in the NFL for your ability to kick and being as bad as the KC kicker.
It may be a distinct lack of practice.
I heard a stat that up until the Bill's game 2 weeks ago the Chiefs hadn't punted since last year's conference championship.

and now, Russell Wilson unhappy at the Seahawks and wants out rumours start.
Open season on the QB market!

The whole Dak Prescott thing just heated up with some strong comments from Troy Aikman.

If Wentz can produce an a reasonable level this is going to be a good deal for the Colts. His cap hits will be around the 25m mark forthe next 4 years which is expensive but lower end for a starting qb.
To clarify my post before, if he doesn't hit those targets then the Colts send a second round pick, so the cheapest he could be is a second and a third.
The Colts are in a great position to make a run over the next few years.

Yeah, the reports are that they want someone to compete with Hurts but whether that's a rookie or a veteran remains to be seen.
Could depend on how the draft falls. They might have one of the qbs that they love and will otherwise try to trade down.
Adam Schefter put the over/under for qb changes this off season at 18. This puts us at 4 so far and the new league year hasn't even officially started.

JJ Watt to the Cardinals on decent money.

Not what I expected, that is a tough division if he wants to win. But its nice and warm there

i just realised all the pass rushers Wilson has to face in that division. Might really push for a move now? Purely for health reasons?

@kiwimurph that's ridiculous
QB economics do not make any sense, so there is no point trying to rationalise any transfer discussions.
