As long as he sees another record to break (oldest quarterback in NFL history), he's likely to try and break it before he retires, based on the way he does things. This talk of retirement and changing of the guard by vicious people is just talk, since some people have already tried to talk Cam Newton into retiring (trying to convince him that he's already over the hill) and he's over a decade younger than Tom Brady, just now reaching the average age of an NFL quarterback. Tom Brady is not everybody's favorite quarterback, but he hasn't changed, he still plays like he's in his 20's. Besides a change of guard some people seem to want to see badly, there's nothing keeping Tom Brady or any other quarterback from playing as long as he wants to until he is ready to move on to the next chapter of his life on his own terms, not if it is what they truly love to do. You don't let people talk you out of doing something you love, that doesn't do anybody around you any good, it doesn't make anybody stronger.
Not everybody is going to like or agree with everything about the legacy of Tom Brady, but even the people that want a new guard rushed in, if they are being honest with themselves, are curious about how far the wheels can go before they fall off, and they know deep down that they aren't falling off yet, they're not done yet. They might even have a long way to go still, a lot of mileage to add. Tom Brady nearly pulled off another Super Bowl LI yesterday, it just went the other way this time on being decided by a field goal. The guy wasn't in his 40's for Super Bowl LI, and yet nothing about his playing has changed since then, he's still the same person, and there's not going to be a point where playing against his team is going to be an easy task.

An individual that pwns everybody else that is considered his peer. He will often wreck your win streak in whatever game you play, regardless of the quality of the team he's on. Most individuals like this often marry a 9 or a 10 on the female scale.
Jay: NoobMaster69 just ended my 10-game winstreak in COD, but he had level 1 n00bs on his team.

Remember when Tom Brady deliberate deflated footballs to beat the Colts in the AFC championship in 2014?

A tough act to follow for any rising quarterback, absolutely, if another one does make it possible to follow (which isn't guaranteed).
Tom Brady certainly wasn't ready to fade away without the world knowing he has been a tough act to follow, both in his generation and the next.

As old as he is, he must have missed the episode of Andy Griffith where Andy Griffith decides that being in 2nd place ain't so bad. Maybe he will realize it before it's too late and he looks back one day on what he didn't appreciate while he had it. He's already the GOAT, he's already been the GOAT a long time. How many losers in Vegas have been there done that thinking they could outdo themselves on the next roll? And it's not a way of saying he should retire or quit doing what he loves, he should do it until the wheels fall off absolutely, for others that might one day want to know whether age is just a number.
Tom Brady is so used to being in first place that he's nearing a divorce over the possibility that he might not end up in first. You should always give what you do your all, true, buy maybe there's something even the GOAT hasn't learned or someone he hasn't been challenged by.
