He threw for 2 TD's with 118.4 passer rating in that game, proving he still had it. He was a legend who clearly had some left in the tank. If he wanted to get paid, he would've gotten paid by someone.
Instead, he chose the best organization that looked like they were a QB away. If you don't think someone would've paid Joe, look at Peyton Manning. Similar situation. 36 year old coming off multiple neck surgeries and the Broncos gave him one of the biggest contracts in the league.
5. Again, the Patriots cycled in more talent when they lost talent. I guess we're going to ignore how many All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections the Patriots have had? Because that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Patriots - regardless of how often they've had to cycle players - have always had a wealth of talent. Different faces, same dominant team. You don't get 6 rings with a coach, QB and a cast of scrubs.
