I'm not saying Brady is bad, because he's not. He's still one of the best in the league at age 42. He even told his receivers on the sideline that they need to be better.
I just don't see that "it" factor from Brady this year. Maybe it's also a matter of his receivers are so bad, sans Edelman, that it comes down to a matter of you can only polish turds so much until you just have to accept them for what they are and that no matter how much you polish them, they will never shine.
