There is absolutely no doubt that over the course of the years in modern-day football, Tom Brady has produced some of the most prolific individual performances. On most occasions, Skip Bayless seems to be the first personnel to acknowledge it. However, the latest showdown between the Packers vs Bucs was deemed to be the ‘greatest regular season’ performance of the 45-year-old by Bayless.
When one thinks about Tom Brady’s best individual performance it could be against the time when the 7 x Super Bowl Champ threw 5 TouchDowns in one quarter (in 2009) or when he overcame a 24-0 deficit against Denver Broncos. But no, for Bayless, it is Brady’s most recent appearance vs Aaron Rodgers, which seems to be best individual highlight.
On the latest episode of Undisputed, Bayless stated, “For six straight years on this show, Shannon Sharpe has attempted to retire Tom Brady because he’s in quote unquote decline. His arm talent is declining, his overall command of the game is declining, says Sharpe, the Hall of Famers, six straight years.”
Skip Bayless goes LaLa over Bucs’ marquee QB – Tom Brady
It is well known to everyone that Tom Brady has plenty of off-field issues with his Supermodel wife, which have kept his distracted. Yet he was able to lead his team until the Packers took the initiative in the very last minutes of the game.
Bayless added, “And you know what, it may be four more years before you’re finally right because at some point Father Time will be on your side. But at this point, you’re dead wrong because the Tom Brady I saw yesterday was flat-out masterclass. The Brady, I saw yesterday played one of, if not the greatest regular games he’s ever played under the circumstances.”
It does feel like the 70-year-old veteran sports media personality was even more impressed as Brady got his match po close without the services of Mike Evans, Julio Jones and Chris Godwin.
