I bet Brady's absence was nothing more than rest.

I don't care what anyone says, Brady is OLD OLD for a NFL QB. He might have the G.Q. look or whatever but I bet he IS feeling every bit of his 45 years and then some. It won't be announced but you can bet his load will be very light during season practices.. I bet we start seeing him with nagging injuries by mid season. Favre played a long time but even he had lots of PX help....That started EARLY in his career.
