Tom had a stellar year last season. Do you think he will be as successful as he was last year or will be turn out to be just a fluke and make the Patriots kick themselves for getting rid of Bledsoe?

tom brady is a good quarterback, in my opinion, which is enough to guarantee him ten years in the league, and at least ten lifetimes of financial security. unfortunately for cute-as-a-button tommy, he has a very tough act to follow (his own).

i say, look for tb to have a year that will go into the sophomore slump category. he'll put up good numbers and will compare favorably to other starting qb's, but sadly for him, he's going to be compared not to other starters, but to tom brady, version 2001.

I think he's going to bust this year as well.

Could go either way. I think last years success had more to do with team work than Brady. His strength is that he was a good team player and the rest of the guys like playing for him. If that's sustained they could do well.

On the down side, other teams are going to play tougher or change tactics, causing overall problems, not necessarily related to Brady.

Then of course there's always lady-luck. Maybe Miss Brady will be lady-luck again for the Patriots.

When I read "could go either way" in a thread about Tom Brady, my mind started to wander

My mind was wandering, too!
They say the Patriots were the Cinderella team. Wonder where Tom keeps the glass slipper?
