I think Brady still has something left in the tank, and while he may not have a top 3 year, I fully expect his numbers to be better than last year - and last year were not horrible.

The assumption there is that Gronk will actually be on the field. They're in just a tad bit of a contract dispute, Gronk is most likely gone as a UFA after the season and isn't too motivated to play for Belichek with all of his nagging injuries. Now if the Pats pay up to his contract demands, I'm sure all those little ailments will fade away, but that looks very unlikely to happen.
