Tom Brady on Comparing Past Patriots Teams: 'Really Unfair to Set Expectations'
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady shot down the idea of comparing the 2017 Pats to previous teams he has played on when asked about his expectations for the squad Tuesday.
On WEEI's Kirk and Callahan (h/t ESPN.com's Mike Reiss), Brady expressed his belief that doing so could be a dangerous exercise: "It is really unfair to set expectations. To me, in my mind, it's really a setup. You're talking about some magical years that we've had that may never be duplicated again."
After overcoming a 28-3 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl last season, New England is heavily favored to repeat.
