Believe me, I don’t like having discussions like this. I get easily annoyed by playing the “what if” game, because it’s not real. It’s just imagining scenarios that don’t exist for the sake of having an argument that doesn’t need to be had.
This discussion – the one about Tom Brady finishing his career with a different team – is not a discussion that needs to be had, because Brady isn’t going anywhere. At age 41, he’ll be the starting quarterback for the Patriots in 2018 and possibly beyond. The Patriots themselves don’t seem to be overly concerned about Brady’s tenure coming to an end any time soon, because they haven’t addressed the need to find his successor.
