"I'm praying for him" - Michael Irvin claims he's scared for Tom Brady

Tom Brady's preseason hiatus is over, but the surrounding fallout is still having an effect. Pundits, analysts, and fans are still asking questions about the quarterback and his desire to remain in the league. One NFL analyst has expressed his concern over the 45-year-old quarterback.

On First Take, Michael Irvin claimed that the quarterback doesn't have the same fire that he did in previous years. He also said that without clear weapons around him, trouble could lie ahead for the Tampa Bay signal-caller.

"Tom Brady fires me up when I see him, ‘Let's Go!’. If he said, ‘Let's go’ right now, nobody would go and say what you will, that's a big part of what Tom Brady brings. I'm praying for him."

There’s nothing like waking up in the morning to a bunch of NFL fans mad about Tom Brady being better than their favorite player for the 6,574th day in a row

"But whatever it is, it's only one or two things that can put you in that position. So we can all kind of put it together, but I'm praying for him and all of that... Now let's attack the Xs and Os. You don't have that offensive line. You're hurting right up the middle on the offensive line. Where is Tom's blanky? Where is his Wes Welker? Where is his Julian Edelman?"

Irvin went on to question Brady's drive and hunger for success ahead of his 23rd season in the league.

"We control the offensive line with our blanky. Where is our blanky? I love Julian and I talk to him all the time. He and I talk at least once a week. It's my boy, man. He was that blanky... Right now, I'm worried about Tom, worried about him personally, worried about football... His head is not in the game right now."

Tom Brady's destabilization

While many would be quick to defend Tom Brady, detractors have had more evidence than ever before that TB12's mind is elsewhere. Since 2022 began, the quarterback has made several unprecedented career moves. He initially retired for six weeks near the beginning of the year.

After he returned, it was rumored that he had attempted to join the Miami Dolphins as a minority owner. The deal ultimately fell through when Brian Flores launched a discrimination lawsuit against the league. However, soon after returning to the Buccaneers, he had a new job lined up: broadcaster for FOX.

Whenever he does call time on his career, Brady will join FOX as an analyst and call games.

The legendary quarterback then 11 days off in the middle of preseason to deal with a personal matter. All of this has fans wondering how much longer the quarterback will stay committed to the NFL.

Will 2022 serve as his final swansong?
