Go back and watch the play in the Seattle superbowl when Malcolm Butler intercepted the pass at the goal line. There is a cutaway shot of Brady + Jimmy G. on the sidellines. They are both shocked at first, then they look at each other, then they turn away from each other and start jumping for joy. Awkward. No hugs from those teammates. Over 20 years in New England I watched and read countless stories about Brady. That piece you found was the only one I saw that talked about Brady mentoring. Good job by whoever wrote it to find a new angle on Brady's greatness. Of course he couldn't come up with anyone actually thanking Brady for mentoring him though. Perhaps there's a reason his alleged mentoring has been overlooked. Like because it doesn't exist. Brady's favorite backup was Bryan Hoyer. An exceedingly average QB. Someone who could fill in if needed but was never a threat to replace Brady. Brady said many times that his goal was to take every rep. Both in games and in practice. He never wanted anyone to get the idea that someone else could do his job. What a great attitude for a "mentor". |

Maybe another "unretirement" in the future. Robert Kraft wants TB to sign with the Pats for one day.

Odd. This is the first article that popped up for me:
3 times superstar NFL QBs refused to mentor their successors ft. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers The New England Patriots made the somewhat shocking move to use a second-round pick on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014. The move looks even more bizarre in hindsight. Yet, Bill Belichick made the call and as expected, Tom Brady did not suddenly assume a mentorship role. Reports stated that Brady was not of much help in terms of being a true mentor. Instead, Garoppolo had to pick his brain as a teammate, which is fair as well. The relationship lasted through to the 2017 NFL season, when Garoppolo was traded to the San Francisco 49ers. Even if Brady was not a mentor, the relationship paid off as the 49ers handed Garoppolo a $137.5 million deal after limited action on the field. |

When you sign a contract to play NFL football, that's what you are supposed to do PLAY football, not teach someone else to do your job. That's what coaches are for.
Look what happened to Donavan McNabb when the Eagles decided to bring Michael Vick on to the team - he eventually replaced McNabb. McNabb should have demanded to be traded. |

Sounds like a quote from a winner, who's willing to take it all his own shoulders and get the job done.

All of the above were nothing but average before Tom Brady and so far, since Tom Brady.

My favorite headline read “ Tom Brady to officially retire one year after he officially retired.”
