What is wrong with Tom Brady?


             What is the deal with Tom Brady and the struggling Buccaneers? The goat never disappoints, but is it coming towards that time where he should just hang it up and call it quits?

            Tom Brady is the undisputed GOAT of the National Football League, there is no debate. He has broken all of the barriers and records necessary to be considered this and he is playing the game while he is 45 years old. We may never see another player play at this age and succeed as much as he has.

            While all of these accolades stand about Brady, it seems like his historic career is taking a turn for the worst. Brady has started to have a lot of off the field drama with his wife Gisele and their marriage. Could that be playing an effect on his overall performance?

            He also has been skipping practices during the week for the Bucs. Most recently, he attended his former boss/colleague Robert Kraft's wedding and flew out to the game by himself. As a result of this, he did not have his best game and the Bucs lost to a terrible Steelers team on the road.

            To many people, it seems like he is putting football second, but to some they view it as his life. Recently, Brady has had enough drama to deal with off the field that it is understandable to see why he is struggling. But do his struggles have to do with this so called drama or should we just accept the fact that he is human and cannot play the game he loves forever at such a high level?

            In my overall opinion, Brady is one of the few people in all of sports that you cannot bet against and once again that is applied here. Brady has found ways to deal with adversity throughout his illustrious career and whose to say he can't do it again in this situation. 

            Yes, the Bucs are in a hole at 3-3, but they still lead their subpar division. They need to find a way out of this hole and they have a more than capable quarterback of guiding them through to do so. You can never count out Brady no matter how bad they have looked these past couple of weeks. I'd have to imagine that Brady will pick things up and this team will be just fine come the next couple of weeks.
