During a recent Pro Football Talk Live, Florio shared one of his wild take on Brady’s future in the upcoming seasons in the NFL. He takes an interesting approach to give his thoughts on Brady and takes an analogy of a human mid-life crisis.
He classifies his NFL career into three stages divorce, short-term relationship, and late-night text to an old flame. Florio firmly believes the old flame to be the San Francisco 49ers franchise, who are looking for a starting QB.

He states, “I’m telling you, it’s unavoidable. He’s not gonna lower himself to have to dirty himself the way Aaron Rodgers is. He’s gonna work it all behind the scenes.

The possibilities appear infinite in the eyes of the Niners fans who would welcome Brady with open arms. During his early football years growing up in California, the 7-time Super Bowl champion was a Joe Montana fan.

But it was the San Francisco-based franchise who wanted to stick with QB Jimmy Garoppolo. The aging QB in Tom Brady wasn’t a viable choice at that point in time for the franchise. It was something that Brady was determined to prove wrong going into the 2021 season. He ended up winning his 7th Super Bowl the same year while Garoppolo continued to give less than convincing performances.
