Is Tom Brady still a superstar in the National Football League? That should be a question that goes without an answer, because it’s pretty evident that he surely is as well as one of the greatest QB’s to ever grace a football field.
According to NFL.com writer Dan Hanzus, he doesn’t seem to think Brady is a superstar as he sent off his annual “Superstar Club” article.
He not only removed the New England Patriots quarterback, but replaced him with Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Here’s his explanation:
“IN: Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans
Before the 2017 NFL Draft, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney warned franchises against passing on Watson, saying they’d be remembered like the NBA teams that passed on Michael Jordan. Two years in, Watson has all the look of the transformative presence the Texans believed they were getting with the 12th overall pick. Watson was a stud in his first full season as starter in 2018, accounting for 31 of Houston’s 38 offensive touchdowns and showing no ill-effects from the knee injury that prematurely ended his rookie season. We’re not ready to say that the Texans fixed their woeful offensive line in the offseason, but it honestly couldn’t get any worse. Add in a healthy Will Fuller and fellow superstar DeAndre Hopkins, and Watson is primed to take his game to an even higher level in Year 3.
OUT: Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Put down your pitchforks, Patriot Nation. Brady could throw 35 interceptions and get benched in Week 9 and he’ll still be the best quarterback who ever lived. But winning another Super Bowl in February didn’t change the fact that there were some signs of slippage in the soon-to-be 42-year-old’s game in 2018. He struggled with downfield accuracy and seemed skittish in the pocket at times. He missed open receivers. He looked … human. Now factor in the retirement of Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots’ meh remaining pass-catchers and New England’s run-heavy offensive philosophy. Brady can still get the job done, but do we really expect him to be an elite player at his position forever? That’s not possible, right? Right?”
Even Kansas City Chief safety Tyrann Mathieu thinks very high of watson, having played with him for one season on the Houston Texans in 2018.
