NFL Season MMIX: The Return of Brady

Tom Brady returned to team OTAs today.

Tom Brady, as everyone knows, is the quarterback of the New England Patriots. He backed up Drew Bledsoe. He was a 6th round draft pick, but rose to super-stardom. Tom Brady has won three Super Bowls with the Pats, the MVP of two of them. He led the Pats to a 16-0 regular season and 18-1 after Super Bowl XLII.

That is a list of Brady's accomplishments, but I've heard an absurd rumor that Tom Brady is a Robot, which has been proven wrong due to his 2008 season. He was injured, and if he is a robot, he wouldn't feel emotions like love for his new wife.

But this is an article about Brady and the NFL. He missed the entire 2008 season with a knee injury and mr. no start since high school Matt Cassel led the Pats to an 11-5 no playoff season. But now that Matt Cassel has been traded to the Chiefs, Tom Brady has to be careful, because it's highly doubtful that guys like Matt Gutierez and Brian Hoyer are playoff material.

I predict the Patriots will finish with a 13-3 record and earn the number two seed with  Tom Brady, their new free agent Fred Taylor, the same receivers Wes Welker and Randy Moss, and old running back Kevin Faulk. Their defense is still good and I predict a Super Bowl win over Atlanta.

Their three losses come from the Falcons, Colts, and Dolphins. With Brady back, what does this mean for the AFC East?

The Dolphins have a harder schedule than last year, and everyone knows the wildcat offense, so I see the 'Phins at 8-8. The Bills have Terrel Owens, the biggest Diva in the NFL. He will improve the Bills, but it's likely that he'll make drama with Trent Edwards and hold the Bills back, I see them at 9-7, just missing the playoffs.

The Jets are hurt by the loss of Brett Favre, but they have Mark Sanchez, who improves them, but not every rookie can be Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco, so I see the Jets at 6-10.

The AFC East remains a tough division, not as tough as the NFC East or AFC South though. But with Brady back, the power shift returns to New England.
