10 early burning questions for the 2017 NFL season

49ers

2. Will ‘This is 40’ catch up with Tom Brady?

Brady will start the 2017 NFL regular season out as a 40 year-old quarterback. There are not many quarterbacks that have played this late in their careers.

We all witnessed the unfortunate 2015 demise of future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, who retired at 39. Injuries unfortunately caught up with Manning and he had a very uncharacteristic final year.

Brady, on the other hand, still seems to handle getting bumped and banged around like a 22-year-old. He is in exceptional health and unless he gets injured will likely have another elite year.

This stinks as far as the rest of the AFC East teams are concerned. As long as the five-time Super Bowl champion is on the field, the Patriots are not likely to miss a beat. Brady is having fun and has no near-future intentions of retiring, despite his wife’s wishes.
