Tom Brady reveals he still has a long way to go in the NFL

Tom Brady isn’t showing any signs of stopping soon.

Tom Brady, the ageless wonder, has forever changed the Buccaneers franchise after just one season in Tampa. A 43-year-old quarterback isn’t the most exciting option on paper when he replaces your Heisman Trophy winner and first-round draft pick, but with hindsight, we can all say the Bucs made the right decision.

Despite his age, the new team, and no offseason, Brady was able to put together one of the best seasons of his career, and talks immediately turned to how long the Bucs would be able to hold on to one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

While some fans lamented the signing initially due to Brady’s age, his future in the NFL is still as bright as some of his younger counterparts. Playing until 50 may seem out of the question, but we aren’t ruling Brady out from reaching the other side of 45, and his recent comments only support that fact.

According to NBC Sports in a Tweet by ESPN, Brady plans on staying in the NFL for as long as he thinks he can help his team compete for a Super Bowl. Well, we might be here for a while.

Brady is currently 44 and still playing some of the best football of his career. Even at his advanced age, Tom Brady is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he doesn’t even have to be at that level to help his team compete for a Super Bowl.

Looking back at the past few years before this season, Jimmy Garoppolo, Nick Foles, and Jared Goff have been the quarterbacks for three Super Bowl teams. Even if he’s 50, Brady gives his teams a better chance to win a Super Bowl than any of those other options during the prime of their career, which means the Brady naysayers have a while to go before they can finally celebrate the GOAT’s retirement.

As long as the Bucs can keep their quarterback protected and Tom Brady can keep the turnovers to a minimum, it’ll be a long time before the Buccaneers are in the market for a new quarterback.
