Tom Brady Sr. Has Strong Message For Rams Corner Nickell Robey-Coleman’s Criticism

Rams corner Nickell Robey-Coleman caused some turbulence entering Super Bowl week as he said that he felt like Tom Brady had lost a step and is not the same quarterback that he once was. Of course, the corner giving New England some bulletin board material heading into Super Bowl LIII isn’t something Los Angeles would appreciate. 

While the Patriots quarterback brushed off the comments during Super Bowl Opening Night, Tom Brady Sr. decided to react and said that sometimes it’s simply best to keep quiet. 

“Sometimes it’s better to shut your mouth, because it’s not in anybody’s best interest to give any of the Patriots bulletin-board material,” Brady Sr. said. “When somebody comes off and wants to say something like that, they’re just trying to make noise for themselves and bring attention to themselves. The Patriots don’t need to do that, and I’m sure (Rams coach Sean) McVay was going to have a few choice words for him to chill. It has no bearing on anything, we don’t get limited by somebody else’s expectations. It kind of rolls off Tommy’s back.”

Brady has proven himself more than enough in the league and while Brady Sr. wouldn’t mind seeing his son step away from the game, he also understands that it doesn’t make sense to back off if you’re still able to contend for championships. 

“I kind of have some mixed thoughts on that,” Brady Sr. said. “My first, primary thought is he’s had a great career and he could hang it up right now and I would be more than tickled to see his career completed. If that had happened two or three years ago, or five years ago, I would have felt the same.

“That being said, when you’re kind of on top of your game, I don’t know why anyone would want to step away. He’s surrounded by the best coach ever and the best ownership group ever. I’m not sure why he’d step down and step off the throne with your teammates if you’ve got it all going.

“It’s pretty nice — what is this, five out of six years? Why not make it eight of nine, or whatever the future holds? I don’t know that if you feel healthy and your wife is happy with you and you’re happy with your life why you should step off because the calendar turns a particular year and says well you should get out because nobody has been there and done that. I think he’s basically trying to fight off the ravages of age, and so far he’s been able to and keep his competency level at a point where he’s able to lead a team to a Super Bowl.

“When he can’t do that anymore, that’s fine and dandy. He’ll know that.”

What do you think of the comments made by the Rams corner?
