Why is Tom Brady still playing in the NFL? The Buccaneers team as a whole is aging with many holes on the roster. They would not have gotten many quarterbacks out of retirement to play in Tampa Bay. Then in the Dairyland Aaron Rodgers is just collecting the paycheck while going through the motions in Green Bay. Rodgers was more fired up years ago when the Packers drafted quarterback Jordan Love over the Packers trading away his main weapon to the Raiders in Devante Adams. Both Rogers and Brady many thought were the cream of the crop in the NFC. Teams in the dreaded NFC East have risen past their sorry-arse teams. Both Rodgers and Brady have their teams at the 500 mark, 3-3, after the first six weeks of the season. With 11 games left in the season, I’m sure either quarterback could steer the ship for their team and find the post-season. The way both quarterbacks are playing, they better hope their ship finds the Bermuda Triangle and disappears from the game without everyone noticing their whimpering.

Why did Tom Brady change his mind about retirement? Brady has nothing to prove in his career with all the Superbowl rings, even the one he earned with the Buccaneers. Brady has all the legit all-time stats playing quarterback at the age of 45. Eventually some robotic half human, half machine from the future made from Sky-Net will break Tom Brady’s record. Unless Brady freezes his head in some Bio-lab which will eventually put his head on another body. I’m sure Brady has looked into it. Bruce Arians, the head coach of the Buccaneers, even walked away into the sunset which could tell you he probably squeezed the team’s only Superbowl from this group. Brady alienated his family coming back to play the game as his model wife looks like she’s going divorce Tom’s big ego. Is it because Gisele Bundchen, Brady’s wife, makes more money than him and is well known all over the world? Has the Goat lost his game? Brady in six games has 8 touchdown passes to only one interception. Brady is completing 67% of his passes. Buccaneers offense can’t dial up big pass plays due to the offensive line so Brady is completing short passes so he does not get murdered back there. Broken tablets, yelling at his offensive line, and coming short on a few key two-point conversions sums up Tom’s season. Is the Goat all in? Going to your former bosses wedding, Robert Kraft, and missing the team walkthroughs tells me you’re not all in Mr. Goat.

Then there’s Aaron Rodgers who gives you that look like, “I don’t care what the hell anyone thinks about me.” Aaron’s ego could be bigger than Tom Brady’s. Rodgers reminds me of Jay Cutler collecting a hefty ransom and whatever happens on the field means “whatever” as he shrugs his shoulders. The Packers have a collection of younger receivers that are not on same page as Rodgers. I thought great quarterbacks make receivers better. You can say a good craftsman never blames his tools. Rodgers has blamed his tools for dropping his passes. Rodgers is 38 years old and so far this year has 9 touchdown passes compared to three interceptions. Rodgers is also completing around 67% of his passes. Rodgers has felt the heat like Brady as teams are putting pressure on these guys. It is so easy to blame the offensive line and I’m sure Rodgers has pointed in that general direction. Last season the Packers averaged 26.4 points per game and this year the team is averaging 17.4. Rodgers is averaging 233.8 yards pass per game this season, his lowest ever in his career. Rodgers says we have to simplify things, execute each play, and be held accountable… meaning everyone else besides himself.

This year in the NFL the league is upside down in craziness with most teams jumbled up in a pack of average. The NFL has some bad teams. The NFL has a few teams that are the cream of the crop that stand alone, and the Buccaneers or the Packers are not in that conversation. Buccaneers losing to Mitch Trubisky and the Steelers last week brought a giggle out of me. Packers losing to the Jets at home means all these Wisconsin hunters will be blooding up the woods taking their football frustrations out on Bambi. I can see either the Buccaneers or Packers making some kind of run at some point during the season and sneaking their team through the back door to the post-season. I can’t see either the Packers or Buccaneers beating a top tier team in this league in the post-season, which leaves them a long way from the Superbowl conversation. I hate both Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Most people do because of their arrogance, and they’ve probably beaten your favorite team over and over. Jealous somewhat. Both quarterbacks will be on the Canton first ballot. Their bitching, complaining, moaning, and groaning will tarnish their reputations if their douchiness has not already beaten them to the goal line. Many will remember both quarterbacks for lighting up the score board and guiding their teams to the promised land. Right now and right here in front, these two look like grumpy old women bitching because they ran low on BenGay cream. Out with a whimper.
