When the defenses start playing tight on his receivers, he will be done.

That's an understatement, without him they may not of made the playoffs this year. That team without him and Gronk really is not much. Both of them are getting old, Brady is going to be 41 and Gronk has been hurt so many times he can't even run/move right. He looks like the Tin Man. This ship is slowly sinking and they have been fortunate to be in the AFC East. I'm a Bills fan but i can admit its been the worst division for at least 15 years. They get the chump schedule and most years home field, they have had superior teams up til this year but its been a cushy ride. Brady will go down as one of the greatest QB's of all time but you are right he makes more mistakes now throwing and furthermore he is a sitting duck in the pocket. He never was a great scrambler he used to step one way or the other to buy time, now he just goes down. By upper management forcing the trade of Jim Garoppolo they just stuck a fork in themselves unless they find a miracle. That team laterally rode on his back this year and, Kraft is loyal to him til the end and the end is coming soon. I agree, 2018 may be it for him. If it isn't he has two seasons tops but it may not end pretty at that.
