Tom Brady will be 41 when next season starts. And the doubters will be back.
Father Time will finally take hold and Brady’s skills will erode, right?
That question will persist. And it’s fair for skeptics to ask that about a 41-year-old, even if he is the reigning MVP.
But Brady has done such a good job defying his age, and in many ways being a better quarterback at 40 than he was a decade ago, that a lot of his NFL rivals have pretty much given up waiting for his decline.
They’ve stopped wondering when he’ll act his age.
