As a general rule, any team that picks up a player with a compensatory pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft isn’t relying on them to become the future of the franchise but that’s exactly what the Patriots got when they scooped up Tom Brady with the 199th selection in 2000.

Thanks in no small part to the masterful coaching of Bill Belichick, the organization quickly managed to turn its fortunes around and a victory at Super Bowl XXXVI marked the beginning of a dynasty the league had never seen and may never see again.

So-called experts have been forecasting the downfall of that dynasty by proclaiming “This will be the season where Brady finally falls off” ahead of every single campaign over the past few years but the quarterback has managed to prove the haters wrong again and again.

Brady didn’t experience a dramatic drop-off during the most recent season but he was clearly frustrated with the Patriots offense and understandably displeased when New England was unable to win the first Wild Card game it had played in a decade.

Back in October, Adam Schefter dropped a bomb when he speculated TB12 was open to exploring his options and could possibly head to another team when his contract expired at the end of the year and Brady didn’t do much to assuage the fears of Patriots fans when he was asked about the rumors.

Since then, there have only been more rumblings about what his future may hold, and after Brady said he was unlikely to retire following the end of the season, people have been frantically trying to figure out what he’s planning to do in free agency.

Earlier this week, we learned Brady is preparing to meet with other teams and has apparently voiced his frustration about how much money he’s made compared to other quarterbacks despite repeatedly taking a hometown discount over the years.

Now faced with the prospect of losing another beloved superstar after Rob Gronkowski retired last year, Patriots fans are doing everything in their power to prevent Tom Brady from skipping town, including one person who wrote a message in the snow begging him to stay on the off chance the G.O.A.T. would see it.

Despite the unlikely odds, the plea ended up coming to Brady’s attention, and he posted a message on his Instagram story to thank whoever was responsible for the note for giving him some love.

Let the extreme overanalyzing of a seemingly innocuous message that can be interpreted a number of ways begin.
