EDIT: Timeline below.
1. Darlington & Schefter report Brady is retiring.

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.

Brady and Manning never really had much competition in their divisions throughout their careers. Big Ben had more competition in his than either of the other 2. [Reply]

Brady is in the "I must protect my legacy" mode. He knows Mahomes could surpass him.
Smith brining facts. Rex can suck it. A couple of decent Jets years doesn't make a division good for 20 years. All the other teams were shit when Brady played there and when they got better he left. [Reply]

That said, there must be at least some merit to the idea that we're in a relatively weak quarterback era overall especially in comparison to 10 years ago. When a mistake prone Josh Allen is likely the #2 QB in the game currently, that arguably says something.
Favre was arguably in that 2 spot for a longtime in the era of grown man football or whatever the old heads call it. Allen is basically Favre with legs at this point. [Reply]
Brady is correct and so is Smith. He benefitted from today rules more than anyone and there is much shitty football being played with the rules on less hitting in practice and practice time. Rex Ryan can roll his eyes all he wants but Smith didn't say anything that many have not said and many have written about. The division was trash for 20 years. Manning same thing. [Reply]
Tom crying again on IG after the Steelers DB was suspended for the year. Dude is saying QB's put their receivers in danger to much as if he never fucking did.
This motherfucker think the tape isn't out there? You did this shit too Tom :-)
I can't wait until Tom is a broadcaster and starts lecturing everyone on the integrity of the game. I hope someone that is working with him loses their shit and calls him out on his hyprocrisy. Something like: "Listen Mr. Deflategate/Spygate, we don't need a lecture from you. You trying to lecture anyone on the integrity of the game would be like hiring Al Capone to teach you proper accounting principles." [Reply]
It is a weird decision from Tom to take to Twitter and start shitting on the performance of backup QBs. Guess he's found his new retirement hobby. [Reply]

Dude was always a prick, retiring doesn't change that. [Reply]

Meh, you play QB for 23 years, you’re going to throw a few of these by accident at least. I don’t think he made a career of that sort of thing. In fact, I’d say he was extremely good at avoiding these types of throws.
Mahomes seems to be pretty good at avoiding them as well.
Now Peyton? That dude didn’t give a fuck. He’d throw his grandma a slant right into Ronnie Lott if it would help him win. [Reply]
