Without a doubt, “Brady vs Li Wei” has become the hottest trending topic in the league right now, capable of igniting the internet at any given time.

Since Big Manning’s retirement, there have been some shifts in the league’s landscape.

On one hand, discussions of Brady’s “retirement topic” would inevitably surface, with the question “Can a hero past his prime still eat at the banquet?” arising every so often.

On the other hand, whether successors to the legendary rivalry of “Brady vs Big Manning” could be found to continue fueling the excitement of even the non-football fans was up for debate.

It was precisely because of this that Li Wei’s meteoric rise ignited such discussion.

Bursting out of nowhere, pulling the Sword in the Stone, and challenging the throne; while the reigning king waged a bloody battle to defend his prestigious position, the fierce confrontation could signal the end of an era.

Just the thought of it is enough to get one’s blood boiling uncontrollably.

However, to speak frankly—

As things stand, the “Brady vs Li Wei” matchup is still lacking in substance; it can’t even compare to the ultimate clashes of the American League in terms of excitement, let alone being considered a rivalry.

A true rivalry should be like Batman and the Joker, Superman and Luthor, an intractable battle with victories on both sides and a fate-like entanglement.

Firstly, the clashes should be thrilling, with the collision sparking flames of excitement.

Secondly, they should be closely matched and unpredictable, with each encounter full of suspense.

In the world of professional tennis, the destined confrontations between Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic are just that; winning this time doesn’t mean victory the next, as they grow and improve through the clash of titans, challenging each other’s limits and ultimately helping each other become better players.

The rivalry between Big Manning and Brady was like that, fraught with suspense each time they met.

However, the current Brady and Li Wei are far from reaching such a standard.

First, they haven’t faced each other enough times, the sample size is too small.

Second, with Li Wei winning both battles, the record is completely one-sided.

What kind of rivalry is this?

If things continue this way, at most it will be a tale of the new wave pushing the old wave onto the shore—a generational story; as Li Wei remains in the league longer, and the rookie is no longer a rookie, the topic loses its value.

This is the real reason why the media is excited about the rise of Donald and the Los Angeles Rams; a rivalry where both parties have equal chances of winning is thrilling.

Strip away the rookie title, and the suspense and anticipation can still continue.

Even when the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots are about to face off, the bustling discussion still swarms toward Los Angeles first and foremost.

But still, the spotlight is the spotlight, and after a brief wander, the conversation inevitably returns to Li Wei and Brady.

After all, that’s Brady.

Perhaps, suffering two consecutive losses to Li Wei might kindle the competitive spirit within Brady, and he may finally be willing to confront the threat of Li Wei head-on, considering Li Wei as a brand-new archenemy—

If not the Joker, then perhaps the Penguin?

So, back to that question, can a hero past his prime still eat at the banquet?

How much fuel is left in Brady’s tank?

And it’s not just about Brady; from the perspectives of teams and fans alike, it’s no different:

For the New England Patriots, the Kansas City Chiefs are fast becoming the worst problem outside their division rivals.

The key lies in last season’s division playoffs.

After the Kansas City Chiefs clinched a last-second victory with a Hail Mary against the New England Patriots, the reverberations left behind instigated a series of seismic shifts during the offseason, plunging the team into the most terrifying crisis in recent years.

Every offseason is a time for teams to rest, lay out plans, and shuffle their rosters, and all thirty-two teams are no exception; but this offseason, the New England Patriots undeniably became the league’s number one focus—

Even the contracts of Cousins, Smith, and Rodgers paled in comparison.

Wide Receiver Amendola headed to the Miami Dolphins.

Cornerback Butler went to the Tennessee Titans.

Such players and many more, last year’s Super Bowl heroes for the New England Patriots, in a blink of an eye, had scattered to the ends of the earth, and even Tight End Gronkowski stated he was uncertain about the team’s future.

However, the comings and goings of players is not surprising, and the New England Patriots were all too familiar with it: the ironclad Belichick and Brady, and the disposable foot soldiers and daredevils; relying solely on these players was not enough to shake the series of heavy hits in the free agency market—the real turmoil came from the coaching staff.

Even before the Super Bowl kicked off, New England Patriots Defensive Coordinator Matt Patricia had already confirmed he’d found a new job—

Head Coach of the Detroit Lions.

Patricia had proven his defensive talent with New England, and now was the time to take on the challenge of being a head coach.

For the New England Patriots, this was undoubtedly a loss.

Yet, that was not all.

Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels was also on the verge of a transfer!

It wasn’t just because this meant that Belichick’s left and right hand were being lopped off at the same time, but more importantly because of the significance of McDaniels to the team.

McDaniels was Belichick’s direct descendant; in 2001, his first job in the Professional League was as an assistant coach with the New England Patriots, back when the Patriots dynasty hadn’t even started.

Belichick liked McDaniels a lot and intended to cultivate this young coach, who worked his way up from assistant to coach, from the offensive group to the defensive group and back to the offensive group, learning every position thoroughly.

In 2009, the Denver Broncos saw McDaniels’ potential and invited him to be their head coach, and McDaniels accepted.

However, during his two seasons with the Denver Broncos, McDaniels still showed his inexperience, often becoming blind and disoriented in his on-the-spot command, lacking clarity and toughness at critical moments, and missing the resolve of a head coach,

McDaniels was dismissed, then went to the St.

Louis Rams as an Offensive Coordinator, but his performance remained lackluster, and he lost his job after a single season.

McDaniels, lost in confusion, was called back by Belichick to the New England Patriots to serve as the Offensive Coordinator, this time starting from scratch and diligently learning from his mentor.

In the past two years, as Belichick turned sixty-five and then sixty-six, he could retire at any moment, and the New England Patriots started succession planning for Belichick’s replacement.@@novelbin@@

Although both of Belichick’s sons were on the Patriots’ coaching staff, their limited talent was not enough for the heavy responsibility, hence the focus shifted to McDaniels.

Even the New England Patriots fans knew McDaniels was the successor to the team.

But then—

McDaniels was lured away?

In a moment, the world of Foxborough die-hard fans just fell apart.

The sky had fallen.

The hustle and bustle of accusations and curses flooded toward McDaniels, and this honest man instantly became a rat everyone chased down the street.

The Patriots’ offseason simply couldn’t get any worse, as if not even the draft could salvage this disaster.
