People are saying TB12. But how much of it was him?
Well, assuming a full, healthy season, Brady is 1/32 of all QB time. Him retiring at 43(?) and getting replaced by a 23(~) year old is 20 years, or an average age drop in QB’s by 20/32 years, or .625 years.
That’s a little over half a gridline… so he was by no means the only influence, or even the majority of the influence in the stat, but he was damn sure a HUGE one.
