I get your sarcasm, much appreciated. But, it's clear that was the focus of the question in the posts.mwald wrote:What difference? Brady's been the same killer from day one as he is today. His game hasn't changed a bit.
Oh! You're talking about the statistical output.
Of course. But then again, maybe others will disagree,mwald wrote: As straightforward as it gets.
So, maybe it's just possible that he's a better killer than he was? Maybe you are oversimplifying? It would help if you defined "killer", no?"Brady is sharper, smarter and somehow better now than he’s ever been. It defies logic. It’s one of the great sports mysteries of our time. How can an old player still be ascending?
“When (Michael) Jordan was up there in age, he was still one of the best in the league,” Jets linebackers coach Mike Caldwell said. “Jordan developed a post-up game. So you can always add something. This year, (Brady’s) getting the ball out quicker. He’s scrambling just enough. He’s stepping up in the pocket. He’s 38, but his game’s evolving just like Jordan. When you can’t jump and dunk anymore, you find another way. And that way is going to be just as successful if you put the time in.” http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/footb ... -1.2406593
Maybe even Tom Brady thinks he's better now than even in 2007
Tom Brady: I think I’m better now than I was five years ago
“I think so,” Brady said. “I don’t know. I try to be critical of myself. I think I’m making all the throws I need to make. There can always be things I can do better. I’ve worked hard always on my throwing mechanics. I worked hard this offseason on them. Playing quarterback is throwing the ball accurately, being able to make the throws, being durable and making good decisions. I try to take care of the good decision part, I try to take care of the accurate part, I try to take care of the durability part. Then it comes down to leadership and relating to your teammates and all those things that are different challenges that you face as you get older.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... years-ago/
“The 10% physically (Brady) was better back then, he’s 35% better mentally,” former NFL quarterback Jeff Christensen said. “So he’s a better all-around player today. He’s just brilliant.”

What do you think is the reason for the "two different careers?"
You mention Coaching, Receivers and Gisele.
So...
Okay, then.mwald wrote:John, if I wanted to know what Peter, Paul, and John thinks I'd look it up, like you did. I am interested in what John Turney thinks. I read it, and disagree. True, no one's forcing me to give you my thoughts, but unless I'm missing something you asked for those thoughts.
And, heh, I still see no difference.
