How long does Tom Brady have left?

People every year say that Tom Brady is regressing, he's not the Tom he once was, he can't win in the clutch anymore. So on and so forth you get the picture, actually Tom Brady has been just as good if not better than than he has in his "prime years". In case you didn't know he just won his 4th Super Bowl and his first in 10 years. He's the only player along with Joe Montana with Multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. Oh and he won the Super Bowl against a defense as good as we seen in the last 25-30 years of football. He threw 4 touchdowns and completed 37 passes which is a Super Bowl record yet he's regressing. Let's take a deeper look into Brady these past two seasons.

2014-2015 Season

This season Brady completed 65% of his passes for 4100 yards 33 Touchdowns and 9 Interceptions with a QBR of 98.1

Brady's receivers featured Julian Edelman, Brandon LaFell, Danny Amendola, Rob Gronkowski and Running Back Shane Vareen. Outside of those players there wasn't much production from any others excluding Tim Wrights 6 TD receptions. Amendola really only came on towards the end of the season.

Brady's career average for % of passes completed stands at 64 while he averages 30 TD's a season and just around 10 Interceptions a season. That is 2:1 TD-INT ratio.

His numbers from this past season were right on track with Brady's averages. Meanwhile in the playoffs he was asked to throw the football more than 50 times in 2 games in which he won both games. QB's who throw the ball are 4-50 since the Super Bowl when throwing the ball 50 times in a post season game, 3 of those wins coming from Brady.

2013-2014

Many thought this season was going to TB12 to a downwards trend has he had only 25 TD's two up from his career low of 23 and also threw 11 Interceptions throwing the ball 628 times that season. Brady was throwing to at the time unproven Slot receiver a oft injured Danny Amendola and a never healthy Gronk.

Yet he still lead his team to the AFC Championship game. Despite career lows he continued to show greatness in the clutch with come from behind games against the Browns and Broncos.

I know many people say stats don't prove everything Brady has stuck to his career averages and broken records while also winning a Super Bowl. So with the pace Brady is going at the soon to be 38 year old should have a few more good seasons in him and maybe one more Super Bowl win in him.
