EDIT: Timeline below.
1. Darlington & Schefter report Brady is retiring.
2. TB12, Tom’s brand/company, tweet (then later delete) about his retirement.
3. Toms teammates tweet about his retirement.
4. Tom’s agent, dad, Arians, and Licht all say Tom hasn’t decided yet.
5. Ian Rappaport says many sources confirm Tom plans to retire but the pushback is due to timing.
6. Tom announces retirement again in 2023. [Reply]
InMedia will cover for him and blame the OL and the WRs. Bottom line is this. He doesn't stand tall anymore to take a hit and deliver the ball. He gets it out to avoid hits constantly and they can'r run the ball for shit anymore. Brady needs that these days. [Reply]

Between the NFC North, South, and West, only two teams have winning record, the Vikings and Seahawks... and only two have a positive point differential (49ers and Vikings). TB leads their division with a point differential of 0.

I'm not convinced he's hit the Father Time wall just yet, but.. idk.
Still a lot of time to correct their issues. We'll see.
I have been burned too many times on this to count Tom gone until the moment he hangs up the cleats and doesn't report for Weeks 1-18 of a football season.
The dude lost 3-34 against the Saints his first year in TB and threw a worse interception than Tebow or Palko EVER did. I stood sentry as Mahomes guided him to retirement when Hill got 269 yards in that season while we laughed at Romo saying that TB "finally figured it out" in garbage time after falling to like, 6-5 or whatever they were.
No. I will not count out what super HGH, a blood seance, and help from the refs could still do for Tom at this stage. I mean, how many threads have we made here in the last ten years dancing on Tom's NFL grave and saying he is finally done.
It is not over for this guy until it is OVER. [Reply]

I'll have you know that is a perfect example of parity. [Reply]
