EDIT: Timeline below.
1. Darlington & Schefter report Brady is retiring.
2. TB12, Tom’s brand/company, tweet (then later delete) about his retirement.
3. Toms teammates tweet about his retirement.
4. Tom’s agent, dad, Arians, and Licht all say Tom hasn’t decided yet.
5. Ian Rappaport says many sources confirm Tom plans to retire but the pushback is due to timing.
6. Tom announces retirement again in 2023. [Reply]

Obviously, that is a time will tell take.
Mahomes never had the defense backing him like Brady. I think Mahomes is facing more depth of competition in terms of talented young QB’s. His Hall of Fame coach is also much older and will be gone in the near future.
Brady got 20 years with Belichick. That includes miraculous stuff like Belichick’s defense stopping Seattle on the 1 yard line or heavily slowing down the Rams in 2 different Super Bowls where the Rams had a pretty great offense. Belichick’s defense also shut out Mahomes in the first half of a game that went to overtime. [Reply]

Tom Brady led his team to a conference title game in 14 of his 21 healthy seasons (66.7% of the time).
Brady's career completion percentage was 64.2%.
He literally was more likely to lead his team to a conference title game than to complete a pass. Insane #Patriots#Buccaneers
I remember the years when Brett Favre would just tell people he was retiring in January and then show up in August like nothing happened. I won't trust Brady on this shit either. Not until I don't see him on a field when he's clearly still good enough to play. [Reply]
