Ultimate Hate - A passing thought

[Lonbull]

Who is Brady throwing to in Baltimore?

If he can’t make it happen with Evans and company he damn sure isn’t going to do it in Baltimore.

I would expect to sweep Baltimore easily if old man Brady was the QB.

He won a Super Bowl with Edelman, Gronk, and LaFell......Andrews, Bateman and Duvernay aren't that far apart.

All of this is unlikely......and I'm not saying I'm necessarily concerned about Tom Brady joining the Ravens.....as much as I'm concerned what new level of hatred will transpire!

First, LJ will be with the Rats next year, even if they have to franchise tag him.

Second, we will not compete against the Bengals until we have their calibers WRs.

Chase and Higgins are quite the tandem.

I hope they do franchise him. I'm pretty sure he'll ball out for 8-9 games and then have another 'injury' to preserve his body to cash in the following year.

you can tag him , but doesn't mean he has to sign.

3rd year in a row now he finishes the season injured. i think there's no way he plays unless he has a long term deal in place

I think TB may have finally aged out.

I also think LJ will get tagged if they don't get a deal done... But maybe just to trade him?

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Maybe this has been discussed on the board already.....but here goes.

**If Tom Brady decides to play another season, I think he'll stay in Tampa Bay.

However - I DO think Lamar Jackson will move out of Baltimore....and if he leaves.......with that Defense and Running Game -- Tom Brady could make the move to Baltimore for one last shot at a Super Bowl. I don't believe Baltimore has the WR's to tempt him enough....but I'm just saying it's a possibility.

Tom Brady leading the 2023 Ravens.....would actually take my "Hate" level for that team to a new, unimagined, height.

That thought sent shivers down my spine. Brady would sign for cheap giving the Ravens a lot more cap space to maneuver.

It's interesting to contemplate but I don't see it. That offense was built with Lamar's skills in mind. I just don't see Brady in the AFC North. I think he'd finally leave the game on a stretcher.

The rats will need someone though. If Lamar leaves, I don't think they're going a whole season with Huntley.

My guess is they franchise tag him to give them one more season to figure it out, while praying Lamar doesn't break himself again.

I don't get the Brady is done talk, he passed for 4700 yards lol, 25 TD 9 INT and when I saw the Bucs play like in the Steelers game his WRs were sucking big time. Evans dropped an easy TD pass against the Steelers, for example. I mean I hope he's done but I don't know what people are talking about, I think the media is trying to bury him for whatever reason, possibly because they want to pump up the younger QBs who will be the face of the league going forward.

If I'm the Niners I'm talking to him right now.

TB is like Roethlisberger in his last years if you actually watched him play. Yea, he'll win regular season but will get crushed in the postseason.

I think Brady can still play and at a very high level. His arm is still plenty strong. But now, more than ever, he needs STELLAR protection. Wherever he goes, it will need to be with a top OL. His weakness has always been pressure. And that was really on display in this last playoff game. Bring a little pressure and the dirtballs and airballs start coming.

Pressure up the middle, so he can't step up. When Brady went to the Bucs, they got Fournette, took the best O-line guy in the draft and generally upgraded the O-line. All the things needed to take pressure off of Brady. Wherever he goes, he'll need those same things to possibly flourish. And he knows it; Brady is well aware of what he needs around him to succeed.
