Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will be playing in his 23rd NFL season and he’s not showing any signs of slowing down.
He is still one of the league’s best play-callers after finishing the 2021 regular season with 5,316 yards and 43 touchdowns.
At 44 years old, he seems to be getting even better and could still play a few more seasons.
It’s still unclear whether the 2022 season will be Brady’s last or if he will continue playing.
If the latter happens, he might not be suiting up for Tampa Bay anymore given the talks regarding him joining the Miami Dolphins.
There are speculations that the Dolphins are trying to trade for Brady.
Given Miami’s explosive roster on offense, that trade could compel him to extend his legendary career.
He might play until he ties or surpasses George Blanda‘s record of being the oldest player in the league.
Since he takes care of himself very well, it’s an attainable milestone for him.
But Brady might be a vampire because he still looks young for his age.
Who knows but he could play for two more decades to face another Manning.
Brady Versus Manning 2.0
The seven-time Super Bowl winner will be 64 years old by 2043 and there’s no way he would still be playing by then.
But hypothetically, what if he did and he faced Arch Manning in Super Bowl LXXVI?
The Brady versus Manning storyline would garner massive attention.
It’s either Arch follows the path of his uncle Peyton who has a 6-11 record against Brady.
Or he gets inspired by his uncle Eli and defeats Brady in the Super Bowl.
Yes, all of this is a dream.
Yet even if there’s zero chance of Brady-Manning 2.0 happening, speculating what could happen can help kill the hours during this slow period of NFL news.
