That's why him signing with the Raiders makes most since because the owner has a kids like haircut a mom would do and I think it turns Tom Brady on, he can suck face with his new owner Mark Davis.
I think there's a good chance Brady is *done* in New England, but would he really play in a brand new offense along with being in the same division as Mahomes? Gutsy if it happens -- Brady certainly doesn't need the money. [Reply]
Carr's problem on the Raiders isn't Carr.
Carr has imperfections, but he can find a niche.
I see him much like Jeff George being a disaster with no weapons and mediocre O-line there back in the day, rattled and ineffectual. Put him [George] on the Vikings with weapons and he was slinging it among the elite of the day.
Find Carr a place with a reliable line and WRs he vibes with and a switch goes off. . . From antsy and rattled to poised and accurate. [Reply]
The Raiders have to kick ass now. They will not be walking out of their own locker room with shit already on their shoes. Brady does not help with that [Reply]
Brady’s only chance at another ring is to frontrun. He needs to play on a team with a good-great supporting cast in a shit division. He needs the 1 or 2 seed, so he can win a couple home games and get to the Super Bowl. There is no other option for him.
I just can’t see him going to the AFC West. [Reply]

Dallas Cowboys make perfect sense for this exact reason. Arguably the worst division in football right now. Trade Dak for at minimum a first round pick and with that pick draft Brady another weapon to pair with Elliot, Cooper, and Gallup. If I was Brady and wanted to make another run at a title thatd be my destination. [Reply]

I was just gonna post the same damn thing. Dak has overplayed his hand. Brady in Dallas makes sense. [Reply]
I could definitely see Brady accepting the Raiders offer
Say what you want about him, but he IS a driven person... he may well feel that he has scaled the heights in New England, has nothing left to prove there and now wants a new challenge facing off against Mahomes twice a year [Reply]

If the Pats let him walk, I think that tells us all we need to know about Brady at 43. [Reply]
If Brady is actually going to leave, Dallas should absolutely be the place he walks into. Weak division, huge market, and a chance to cement his legacy.
Unless the NFL wants the refs to play a supporting role in a division title for the new Las Vegas fade (the storylines!) I just don’t see Brady at 43 as enough of an upgrade from Carr to deliver. [Reply]
