So people wouldn’t have traded for Brady 10 years ago because he’s on the wrong side of 30?

This is a stupid question.

Are you saying people wouldn't trade for literally the greatest quarterback in NFL history because he was over 30?

It’s not a stupid question. People are on here saying don’t do it because Stafford’s over 30. That’s stupid. QBs last longer than the average player for the most part, he’s a known commodity as a really good QB and could make us a ton better. Argue the price? Sure. Saying no just because he’s 32? That’s stupid.

If you could provide some statistical evidence to back up your assertion, that would be great. There is literally no evidence qb's last longer other than recent history with Brees and Brady playing until 42/43. Historically they haven't lasted longer than any other position and the ones that did basically stayed injury free for most of their careers.

I'm saying the price should go down because he's 32 and you're not getting a decade of prime talent. Historically players also don't get better at avoiding injury with age too.

The argument you're looking for is demand far exceeds supply for talented qb's right now, which is gonna drive the price up.
