Even though he’s now 48 years old and hasn’t played NFL football in three full seasons, Tom Brady still has it. He proved it during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on Saturday.

No, Brady’s team didn’t take home a trophy or win any games. Still, it’s clear that Brady’s fastball still has plenty of juice to it.

Throughout the event, Brady showed that not only does he still have a live arm, but he’s also no statue. Heck, he even dodged a defender’s attempt to grab his flag, while later maintaining his composure to toss a touchdown.

While Brady’s play certainly had some people talking throughout the game, what the retired NFL pro said afterward had people talking.

After the game ended, Brady reposted the above clip with the caption, “Makes you think.”

finish the sentence! Will you be wondering? We can’t help but wonder.

Maybe this is another retired player giving another great display of his athletic abilities. but what if?

Yet, since Brady is a minority owner of the Raiders, he is not allowed to be on the team’s roster. Except the Raiders do, but they are set to select Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick. Of course, Brady could buy Mendoza a season to develop, as well as learn from behind the future first-ballot Hall of Famer.

But would Brady really interfere with the quarterback of a team in which he has a partial ownership stake? Brady himself may feel that way and wants Mendoza to have a chance to earn the starting job right away. Stepping down as a player would take away that opportunity for a Heisman-winning CFP champion.

Additionally, even if Brady is serious about returning under the right circumstances, he would still need the approval of at least 24 of the NFL’s 31 franchise owners through a voting process.

If you’re one of the owners who has to compete with Brady, why would you vote yes? Again, taking away an athlete’s last chance to play again would be against the spirit of the game and inhumane. But when competing for the Super Bowl, who’s to say pettiness won’t be involved?
