In the last few weeks, there have been some notable struggles that New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady has experienced in recent weeks.

It has begun to creep questions about how much longer that Brady can continue to play at a high level at this point of his career. However, Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson is now of the belief that Father Time is coming quite soon for the 41-year-old.

This comes after Brady had an effective performance in the 34-10 loss against the Tennessee Titans last Sunday with him completing just 21-of-41 passes for 254 yards and no touchdowns in the contest. In fact, he has thrown just one touchdown in the last three weeks. This lack of production from that standout is a bit noticeable as Brady has been the clear-cut driving factor for the Patriots throughout his illustrious career.

At this point, it is hard to determine if he is beginning his decline or simply coming off a rough stretch of games. He has gone through situations like this in the past and worked his way through it. This makes it a little premature to voice that his best days may be behind as he could turn it up in the final stretch of the regular season as the Week 11 bye could help him get back on track to produce at the level that has been accustomed to seeing from him.

However, the longer his struggles continue to persist, the louder the noise will be around him that possibly his end is nearing much sooner than the goal to play until age 45. This criticism could very well be something that drives him to push through it and play at a high level once again. Simply put, time will let what will transpire with Brady's play on the field.
