Quarterback longevity leading to impatience

Each year, quarterbacks continue to defy father time and play at a high level despite their age. Tom Brady has been the epitome of longevity as he continues to lead the league in many of the top statistical categories and shows no signs of slowing down even as he approaches his age 45 season. Aaron Rodgers is deep into his 30s, but he is coming off back-to-back MVP seasons. This trend does not just end with current players. Recent retirees also demonstrated this key aspect. Drew Brees continued to be one of the league’s top quarterbacks even into his final season.
