As kids growing up in Northern California, Tom Brady and I were staunch 49er fans. He worshipped Joe Montana and I pretended to be Y.A. Tittle. Decades later, Brady, 44, now is considered the greatest quarterback to ever play professional football.
As sure as the GOAT has seven Super Bowl rings, I know there are 14-year-old quarterbacks emulating Brady's every move.
My guess is thirty years from now, when one of today's young QBs is 44 and playing in the NFL, that former teenager will erase most, if not all, of Tom's records. And you know what? A 74-year-old Tom Brady probably will be that player's biggest fan.
