It’s not as though it’s a new phenomenon for quarterbacks to finish their careers with a franchise other than the one where they became great. The “Johnny Unitas was on the Chargers” and “Joe Montana was on the Chiefs” statements are well trod talk-itory. But maybe it wasn’t until very recently, when late-career quarterbacks turned out to not be as “late-career” as many had expected, that the conversation turned from a mediocre team giving a worn out veteran one last hurrah to it being the player who appeared to be in control of his destiny.
And that the destiny could be a Super Bowl championship for Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
