Never fear, Tom Brady to the rescue!

So to give the six-time Super Bowl champions a seventh Lombardi Trophy, why not call up a guy who is looking for No. 8? For one year, Brady could hold his own in the AFC North. While there are no guarantees he would get the Steelers back to the Super Bowl, a lot of their perpetual nonsense would dissipate with The GOAT taking over the quarterback room. Just look what he did in Tampa.

Ingoring that it's Brady, it would be nice to have a confident, "follow me" guy at the helm again. Someone that commands respect in the locker room and huddle. Someone that pushes and motivates everyone around him to be better.

That said, Brady would get killed on the Steelers in the AFCN. Behind our line? He'd ride into retirement in an ambulance.

I just scrolled through 20 years on pro football reference and can't find a counterexample. Closest I found was Dan Marino and Steve Young both going in 1999. Was Marino considered the GOAT at that point? Probably not.

Not without a ring... I would guess Joe Montana would have been considered the GOAT - he was for me at that point.

Personally, I'm mad that Tom hosed Ben one last time on the way out the door...

When he also announced his retirement, it meant there's a good chance Ben isn't a 1st ballot HOF guy now. Often, if there is a GOAT at a position, they are the only one in their class... I think they make it so that Tom will be the ONLY QB inducted into the HOF his class, now pushing Ben by 1 year

I really could care a less. So what?

so why respond?

[WindyCitySteel]

so why respond?

Because there are things he could care less about.

Maybe he meant "couldn't care less"?

LOL. It's amazing how many people say and write that incorrectly.
