I look at Brady much like a military brat. As soon as he makes friends - he has to move.
Bill Belichick is the Military father in this scenario. Every year the Patriots clean house and change the roster like hotel laundry.
It is common in the NFL for stars to come and go. But Belichick takes it to a whole new level.
I cant even list the number of stars - playing well, that were let go in just the last few years. Wes Welker is just one example of a go to receiver Brady no longer has available. Blount was there at RB and gone.
Brady opened the season with one of his worst performances ever. On Sunday the Patriots had 1st and goal on the Oakland 2 yd line. Field Goal. Three times in the red zone they came away with only 3 points. This is not Tom Brady football.
If you watched last weeks game - you noticed one thing. He was under pressure. He doesn't like being laid out by defensive ends. He has nothing left to prove at this point in his career - why would he subject himself to that. Manning wouldn't put up with it - that's why he went to Denver with a great offensive line. I just checked the depth chart -the whole offensive line has been with the Pats for years. So that does not fit with my theory. Could it be just the opposite? Is the Offensive line getting older and slower? The combined avg age of the Off line is 28.4. None are younger than 26 and Two are over 30. You want experienced Offensive linemen. However, if they are a step slow, it could be a huge problem. Keep an eye on the sacks over the next few weeks. Time will tell.
So, is Brady losing his touch?
He is younger and stronger than Manning and equally talented.
He is as accomplished as any QB in the league. What does Manning have that Brady doesn't? Manning and Reggie Wayne were together for years. So were Montana and Rice. There is no Brady and ___ well, anyone. You could say Gronkowski when he is healhty. Last week he threw almost exclusively to Edelman in the first half. Look a the Depth Chart. Jeez! What a line up of Receivers! Edelman, Gronkowski, Dobson, Thompkins, Amendola. Running backs - Ridley and Vereen are solid too. However, Gronkowski returning to health only had 3 catches. Thompkins 1 reception. Dobson healthy but inactive?
I think the problem lies more with Belichick decisions than Brady's ability.
He doesn't have all his targets or good protection.
Maybe he's just tired of losing his friends and having to move.

I am agreed with you that Brady and Payne manning are equally the same, they have nothing else to prove, it just that Brady no longer have his 1 receiver or TE, there offensive lone is not as good as 06-11 years,
