GalantForum VeteranOpportunity to sack him plenty. Let's hope the league makes use of it.

Deus ex dolphinForum VeteranIs this part of a process to get him to the 49ers? Really annoyed he waffled on retirement.
A terrible play call, terribly executed.

He made a comment a few weeks to the effect that “spending time with family is the most important thing, and I’ve done that for the last five weeks…”. It sounded then like he’d had enough of them, lol
Probably looked at the path to the super bowl and realised that the NFC are quickly shedding quarterbacks so his path was a lot easier.
KeyFinForum VeteranIt's not shocking really, all the greats seemed to retire and un-retire a few times before actually calling it quits (Manning, Favre, etc.). In Brady's case, he's still playing at a fairly high level and it's not really a question if he still has it.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

+ his retirement probably didn’t go as he planned it, with news coming out before he said something…
FinatikStaffJust go away already
Lots of people will tell you what they think about you and what you shouldn't and should do. Not everyone's thoughts are worth consideration. Don't take criticism from anyone who you wouldn't also go to for advice.

dolphin25Forum VeteranBrady could have been the Dolphins QB for 3 years had a certain former coach met with him.... Maybe 2 Super Bowl wins now with the defense.
Lord help us.

Who would he thrown to? Devante Parker and Wilson? With no running back worth mentioning and a swiss cheese offensive line.. i dont think he wins here..

Gronk?
I don't think it's unreasonable to think he might have lured some guys, or had undo influence enough to get a real offensive coordinator. But no, we were definitely not as loaded offensively as the Bucs were, that's clear.

GalantForum VeteranNo. It's nonsense.

It's sorta-kinda true. From what I read, Brady wanted to come on as an office executive and run the team, eventually owning the team. Rumors are that he's talked to Ross extensively about it and they're now "friends". That all blew up though once the lawsuit and potential tampering came to light- so Brady un-retired and went back to football.
Maybe the goal in recent weeks has changed, but Ross is at the center of all of this.

I'd like to read whatever sources you can share. There was a rumour about Brady coming in as QB with an offer of part ownership etc. but that was water under the bridge and aside from the stuff coming out of the Flores case I've found nothing else to substantiate. It was all inference based on relationships/connections.
This latest thing has come from one guy on a call to a radio show saying he had heard that Grier was already working on the deal to bring Brady in.
Bunch of people riding the attention of the Dolphins and Grier's 'out of nowhere' trades.
EDIT....

I posted this in another thread here. Like I said, I have no idea if there's any truth there or not. But there are a lot of details that would make sense. If it's a lie, someone really had fun making all of that up, LOL.
This article may shine some light on that- it sounds like we're not interested in Brady at quarterback. It sounds like the plan was to get him in the front office w/ Sean Payton as the HC but the Flores lawsuit messed all of that up. Sounds like Brady had to destroy yet another cell phone too since it proved Ross was tampering, LOL!
