Tom Brady still has a good 2-3 more appearances before his time is up in the NFL. He has the potential to do things that the NFL will never see again.

In 2002, there was one player with quarterback rating over 100 for the season.
In 2016, there were 5.
I don't have the patience to delve deeper into passing stats in 2016 vs. previous eras but I think it's starting to become a joke.
Playing "defense" in the NFL has devolved to basically waiting for A)The QB to throw an incompletion or B)The receiver to drop the ball. At this point a 24 point lead is more like a 10 point lead. That's why Atlanta kept the foot on the gas when they played Green Bay in the NFC Championship. That's why they kept passing when they could have been running out the clock in the superbowl.
