I say Brady plays till 42 or 43. Also he is so damn good he can fall off and still be better than average.

Yeah, it's almost comparing apples to oranges. Brady is so strict with his diet and his conditioning that he's become a freak of nature. He has simply shown no signs of regression like Favre or Manning had shown. OK, he's a bit slow when he scrambles, but he has never been quick on his feet, and he will give up and hit the ground long before other quarterbacks will. Not a knock on Brady, he just has taken all the right precautions to ensure a long and healthy career in the NFL. I'm no Brady fan, but he can easily last until 43. As matter of fact, with Hoyer's contract being a 3 year contract, it kind of makes me believe that when Brady hits 43, he'll retire and Hoodie will make his exit as well.
