Garoppolo to the 49ers

Brady is not playing until he's 45 that's a joke. Manning and favre thought the same thing.

Maybe 2-3 more years, 5 definitely sounds like a big stretch.

Probably not, but Manning had multiple neck surgeries that left him with a rag arm. Favre was a gunslinger who often held the ball too long and took a lot of punishment. Brady sometimes doesn't even have to wash his jersey after a game. I think he could last a couple more years than those other 2 guys. Steve Deberg did start one game at 44. 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.

Brady will easily play until 45 or beyond, barring some major injury. If at 45 years old he is then only an average QB stat wise, he could still conceivably go a few more years if the rest of the team is performing. Athletes in general are now playing far longer than ever before, I believe during my lifetime seeing 45 and older players will be normal....
