Fox Sports analyst Chris Broussard critiqued Brady's decision to jeopardize his marriage by returning for another season.
Broussard stated that, if Bundchen wants more time with her husband, then Brady should have obliged. He said that Brady should have stayed retired this off-season because he has already accomplished everything.
Broussard said:
“I don’t know if there are other problems in their marriage. If she just wants him home, and if this is the main thing, I would say, he should have retired. I mean, he should have stayed retired. He is a GOAT. He had a 25-year-long career, and he has accomplished everything."
Broussard added that he doesn't think Brady has anything else left to prove because he's the goat. He added that a marriage takes two, and sometimes, it takes a sacrifice.
He added:
"If this was another Super Bowl, I would have said, 'Yeah, he is the GOAT.' But this isn’t one, and there is nothing left to accomplish in his career! He is 45. I understand he wants to play the game! That’s fine. But for marriages, it takes some sacrifice from both sides."
Tom Brady will be without two of his favorite targets from last season
The road to an eighth Super Bowl will be tougher for Brady this year than his previous two with the Bucs. Two of Tom Brady's favorite targets of the last two seasons are no longer on the team.
Tight end Rob Gronkwski joined Tom Brady in Tampa two seasons ago but decided to retire this off-season.
Wide receiver Antonio Brown walked off the team last season toward the end of the season versus the Jets. He doesn't seem to have a foreseeable future in the NFL.
Wide receiver Chris Godwin is recovering from a torn ACL suffered at the end of the season last year.
Tom Brady and the Bucs will have a tougher quest for a Super Bowl victory, but anything is possible with the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
