Patriots projected starters: What to watch for from the stars

QB Tom Brady – Signs of age

This one shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as it’s been the trend with Brady for the last three or four seasons. Brady’s numbers took a slight dip from his MVP season two years ago, but not so much to be able to declare a true ‘decline’ for TB12. In 2019, watch for tell-tale signs of the end of the line (interceptions, decrease in velocity, bad decision-making, etc.). Only then would Brady’s advanced age be a real cause for concern and a warrant to perhaps wave the red flag.
