GOAT QB? ✔️ HOF Coach? ✔️ Elite Defense? ✔️ Top 5 TE ever (at minimum)? ✔️ Multidimensional RBBC? ✔️ Top 10 OL? ✔️
The play style of the passing game even embodies the “death by a thousand cuts” mentality that Brady cooked with during those mid 2010’s Pats years. The only question mark left is if Rashee can consistently fit the Edelman role, which is why the #1 priority for the rest of the regular season, beyond locking up the #1 seed, should be Rice’s development (especially developing him vs man).
I’m sure he’s not as athletic as he was when he was 25. I just think it’s too soon to determine that he’s regressed. Last year was one of if not his best season IMO. Top 4 season for sure. This year’s been a little down yeah but so was 2021 (people were saying the same thing) and he bounced right back.
