I think Brady COULD have another good season in him on a loaded offensive team. Edelman was gimpy all year and needs 2 off-season surgeries, Gronk retired, Sanu looks like a bad trade, Harry looks like a bust, the OL had injuries and regressed badly, Michel regressed badly, it was a mess on offense all around.
The problem is that he's so old he could literally fall apart at any moment. I just don't see how it's a good gamble. It feels like the Dak haters grasping at straws. I'm not a DAK IS ELITE guy but dumping him for a 1 year rental of a dinosaur seems really sketchy.
On one side:
Brady at $30m per year
Whatever you can trade Dak for
On the other side:
Dak at $35m per year
I don't think that the case against Brady is as strong as people say. Its not just Brady vs Dak. Its Brady, an extra $5m of capspace and the picks you can get for Dak vs Dak.
Personally, I would make a run at Tannehill at $30m per year but the concept of dumping Dak for assets and getting a cheaper vet QB is a strong idea. Paying the QB of an 8-8 team with the 10th best passer rating in the NFL the biggest contract or near to it is a fool's errand. Teams simply don't win like that. NO ONE can point to an example where an NFL team did something like that and went on to win super bowls.
If Tannehill is worth it, why do the Titans give up on him?
