About a Brady

Look, up in the sky! 

 It’s a bird!

It’s a plane!

IT’s SUPER BRADY!!! 

What?  You don’t believe me?  Why just ask guys like Skip Bayless, Deion Sanders, or a Patriots insider, and they will tell you he is there.  All you need to do is put on a pair of rose-colored glasses and you too shall see him.

…Hold up, you say you aren’t going to put on those glasses?  What’s wrong with you?!  (I mean asides from being smart and using your brain to think.)  You don’t believe a 43-year-old QB is the missing piece that the 49ers need to win a Super Bowl?

 Me neither.

 The truth of the matter is all of this chitter being heard from the media and dreamers like the ones mentioned above in this article is just that.  It’s not even worthy of being the squishy present Fido left in your slipper.

I could go into length about why adding Brady is a bad idea by discussing things like the questions surrounding the 49ers receiving corps or the poor pass protection by the offensive line.  But I want to try to keep this article short, so I will point out the major issue which is The Wall. 

What is The Wall?  Why, it is the point at which a player reaches where their performance on the field falls off a cliff, with the player needing to be carried by the team instead of the player putting the team on his shoulders and leading his team to victory.  Look no further than Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. 

Now some players have been able to deny The Wall its victory over them for some time, but it always gets those guys in the end.  The Wall caught the best of the 49ers in Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Ronnie Lott.

How far away is Tom Brady from being caught?  

Should the 49ers gamble that The Wall will still be evaded by Tom Brady for a least two more years and give up on Jimmy Garoppolo due to blind faith?

Should we the fans really count on the 49ers to turn some water into wine?

I didn’t think so.
