I know that sounds crazy but hear me out for a second. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are ready to make NFL history by appearing in their seventh super bowl. Tom is going for his fifth ring, which will give him more rings than any other quarterback separating himself from Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. With a number of Super Bowl wins, countless records, this is the time to pull the trigger and move Brady. Well, sort of.
In my opinion, I would trade Tom Brady but only under one condition. If the Patriots end up winning the Super Bowl, it will obviously be harder to sell to fans that Brady will no longer be apart of the team. On the other hand, if the Falcons manage to pull off the upset, I think you have to move on from this amazing …show more content…
We no longer see Brady throwing bombs down the field as they've moved to a dink and dunk offense. Looking at their play, yards after catch has become a major part of the offense as players like Edelman take a three yard slant for gains of ten or fifteen yards. Running backs like James White and Dion Lewis give Brady a closer safety blanket as flats and screens have become key.

Matt Cassel took over in 2008 after Brady suffered a season ending leg injury. Cassel threw only 33 passes in college after losing his job to both Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. After barely playing in college, how did he manage to throw for 3,693 yards, and 21 touchdowns leading the team to an 11-5 record. He then leaves New England after receiving a $62.7 million contract from the Chiefs. He was never able to come even remotely close to the success he had in New England as he is back to being a backup. Jimmy Garoppolo started two games this season throwing 496 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. In Brady four game suspension, the Patriots still managed to finish 3-1.
New England has shown that players are replaceable pieces in the grand scheme of their plan. Brady was amazing this year but didn't play the strongest of competition. When playing legitimate defenses like Seattle, Denver, and Houston, his numbers aren't exactly MVP caliber. Though he doesn't choose his competition, Brady shows that he's great by not falling to the level of play of the weaker teams. He should dominate defenses like the Browns, Jets, 49ers, and others and he
