Unlike years past, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are looking like a shell of their former selves.
Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner is now dishing out some words of wisdom for Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
In an interview with People, Warner said the future Hall of Fame quarterbacks look “exhausted” and suggested it might be time for both of them to hang up their cleats for good.
“I think both of those guys look like they’re exhausted,” Warner said. “It’s OK to go, ‘You know what? It’s not how it used to be. I may not be who I used to be, or, it’s just too hard overall to get everybody up to the standard. Maybe it is time to walk away.'”
More from the report:
“It’s not being defeated,” Warner advises. “That’s not saying you can’t do it anymore. I just think sometimes that stuff outweighs the joy of the game, which is what it looks like is happening for those two guys and I feel for them.”
“…As I was going through the last couple years, it was becoming more and more prevalent that, ‘Okay, this is taking too much from me and it’s not just about enjoying the game anymore,’ ” Warner says, adding, “I mean, I kinda look at Tom Brady now, and that’s how I feel.'”
For the first time ever, both quarterbacks have records below .500 at the same time going into Week 8 with the Buccaneers and Packers both sitting at 3–4.
