I know that over the last 14 years we’ve been spoiled and each year the Patriots are in the hunt to win a title. That being said, with the uncertainty of the game (injuries, free agency, player development) my feeling is that the Patriots have maybe two more legitimate shots at a title with Brady. It would be an amazing end to his career if he could win 3 Super Bowls at the start and 3 at the end.

Sounds about right, at least with Brady. I think a lot of people are too quick to write off the Patriots’ Super Bowl hopes immediately after Brady retires, especially if Garoppolo continues to develop. This was the youngest team ever to win a Super Bowl, and when Brady retires they’ll have a defense in its prime. All they’ll need is a quarterback who can make the right plays and not the killer mistakes and they’ll be in contention just like the ‘01 Pats or the ’13 Seahawks.
