Max Kellerman keeps waiting for that cliff.

The one he's been rooting to see since nearly three years ago - the summer of 2016 - when the co-host of ESPN's "First Take" declared: “Tom Brady’s just about done. It could be his next game, it could be a year from now, but he is going to fall off a cliff. Tom Brady is going to be a bum in short order.”

On Friday, Kellerman kept up the Brady bashing with another declaration. The 41-year-old Patriots QB is "dead last" in his rankings of the remaining quarterbacks in the AFC playoffs. 

I'd rather have all other QBs in the AFC not named Tom Brady in these playoffs right now, and so would you. #FirstTake pic.twitter.com/D6fGByw6W8

So one of the earliest adopters of the Brady-in-decline take still holds out hope. Meanwhile, the only cliff TB12 has seen in the past few years was this one.
