Slight technical correction, as Vinatieri and another kicker/punter dude (forget who) are older. Brady is the oldest non-punter/kicker in the NFL.

His play will dip at some point and it could be this year. History shows that age hits NFL players like a hammer. One year you still play great and the next you stink.
Favre was great and the following year he was junk. Manning had the same problem.

Then I'm glad Brady will get four games of rest this year so he enters the playoffs that much fresher!
