Max Kellerman is like that one guy who predicts the stock market will crash every year, and when it eventually does thinks he’s a market guru lol
🤣🤣🤣
Rob Parker has him beat and it’s not close. Rob has been saying this since 2012..
🤣😭😭😭😭
He's not wrong tho. Favre and Peyton Manning were both MVP candidates their 2nd to last season, but both were the worst QB in the NFL their final seasons.
that's the perfect analogy i've been looking for
Max Kellerman: He's just about done Brady: *Has a hall of fame career just in the 3 years after this prediction*
Max stole your comment and made a tweet out of it
Yeah
2010: 28 years old Roger Federer is just about done Federer: Has a hall of fame career just in his 30s (4 grand slams, 9 grand slams finals, still rank top 5 at age-40)
*4 years
*5 years
Who’s here after Tom Brady wins his 7th ring and proves all his haters wrong ?? 🐐
Brady is overrated tbh. His defence won him SBs
@@polpol1005 - You're crazy!!!
Lotta years gone by since he fell off a cliff. He could win the next 2 SB and it wouldn't shock me at all.
Nah I’m realistic. Dude face it. Rings are not all. Could he get rings without a good coach and good defense? Nope. Was he the real MVP in his last two SB? Nope. 🙄
@@polpol1005 He didn't win MVP in his last SB with the Pats - and yes he did deserve it in LV. All the coaches are good and they played 2 Defenses on their route to the SB that were better than theirs. It's a team sport and everybody has to play well to win. The defense didn't put up 31 points. Rings are a a measure of the QB's ability to lead his team to wins when they matter most. Brees and Rodgers had really good teams for a lot of their careers and good coaching and both have 1 ring. It isn't a fluke that Brady has 7.
2017: he’s falling of the cliff - wins Super Bowl 2018: he’s falling of the cliff - wins afc 2019: he’s falling of the cliff - wins superowl 2020: he’s falling of the cliff - LOSE 1st round Max” I told y’all!” Well you keep saying every year so eventually it was going to come
He was so high up when he fell off no one noticed lol
I discredit his last super bowl man was garbage
@@christianmallien3123 that was just that game but games b4 that he played well against chargers and played ok vs chiefs and def key down stretch to bring that game home
@Jack The Clipper that doesnt stop the cliff theory. Lol Peyton Manning won a superbowl and was complete cheeks. A superbowl appearance is a team accomplishment. An MVP is a personal achievement
2016
“What do you say about that” “We won the super bowl” Classic
Brady couldn't have been less a factor in that super bowl and was probably a detriment
@@cubsfantrey3 you realize a lot more goes into a QB than just stats. Brady's leadership, game management, and putting in the right play for the coverage on the field. It's not just 400 yard games and 5 TDs.
Max’s “cliff theory” should really be called “plateau theory”
L
laker might could be adjusted to a “flat plane theory”
I don't think you know what a platue is
@@imjusstchillin5776 I don't think you know what a joke is
@@truefunksoul8638 I don't think you know me
Molly trying her best to explain a cliff lmfaoo 😂😂😂
mostDEV underrated comment
She said "Its where you're high and fall off" like what lol Falling off has nothing to do with a cliff
She's trolling hard the whole video. Cliff Kellerman was hilarious 😂😂
She's an airhead and about to hit the wall
So Molly, you have to fall down to define a cliff? Many a cliffs have not been fallen from.
Stephen A reading that paper during Max’s rant was classic.
The cowboy hat and cigar look has me 😂
POV: You're here after Brady takes the Bucs to the SB
Lol
Yep and now he is singing a different tune....
GOAT
🐐
wow this man guessed it
Tom brady just won his 7th Superbowl I want to be on the cliff that he's on.
😭😭💀💀 me too 💯💯
The fact that Brady has had a Hof career since this take is actually insane. Also he never fell off the cliff 🤣
He did in 2022.
@@chadbrisco4042 Last year. If they had a great O-line. I thi k theyd have been competitive.
@@chadbrisco4042 4500 yards NFL record for completions 29 tds 7ints is considered falling off?
@@chadbrisco4042 nah, he just wasn't an MVP frontrunner
@@WarchiefJoe He still made the playoffs also he was on the cover of madden so there is that but even with all that he still made the playoffs so yeah.
Who's here after the GOAT made it to his 10th Superbowl this time with Tampa Bay? Brady has won 3 superbowls and made it to 5 since this happened.
max's cliff theory has graduated high school
BUMBA 😭😭😭😭 BIG FACTS!!!!
lmao
This should be top comment.
Actually it became a dropout :))
@@mangstadt1 broooooooooo 😂😂
Wish I could fall off a cliff and win 2 super bowls on the way down
*3
3 now
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day"
Who’s here after Tom Brady won another Super Bowl
“Cliff Kellerman” lmao
Max Clifferman
Probably the only funny thing Molly has said
It was a moment of pure genius. She's trolling him throughout the entire video.
I'm here just after he won at a SB at 43. 5 years since Max made his prediction in 2016 that he had 1 good year left in him max. Since then he's made 4 SBs and won 3 of them. He's actually put up a HoF career since the cliff theory
Who’s here after watching Brady spank the Chiefs for his 7TH Super Bowl win??!!
Check out Brady's Instagram story....Max and all these talking heads are part of the fuel that runs the fire in him to keep working so hard on his game!!
Even ESPN is trolling him LMAO
2020 offseason: "Brady has a noodle arm and should retire" 2020 Brady: throws for 4000+ yards and 40 Tds, leads the league in completion percentage on 20+ yard passes.
Full season including playoffs 5k+ 50 tds being the first qb to throw 50tds and win a superbowl man that cliff was a mountain
Who Else is Here after all those DEEP BOMBS at Lambeau yesterday😂😂
6 years since the Cliff theory and he's probably going to win the MVP 😭💀
😂😂😂 could very well win another SB as well!
This aged well
who’s here after max kellerman just said “i was wrong, tom brady never fell off a cliff”
And it just got even better.
@@admiraljosh And even better.
"I have to revise my cliff theory" LMFAO im dead
I love seeing hearing this after Brady just won his 7th SB at age of 43. So what's the cliff now Max Kellerman. lol
Someone please remind Max Kellerman that GOATs thrive in cliffs.
okay the best is when they used max's outro clip for the end 😂
Lmao just will never forget him saying Brady would be done by the middle of the 2017 season. Espn video even edited that part out hoping we’d forget.
Pepperidge Farm remembers lol
This dude wanted to be right so bad , it's sad
Lmao molly at 6:59, "Kliff Kellman..." Marcus spears reaction lol 🤣☠️🤣☠️
Stephen A's facial expressions and reactions made this video 😂
I didn't realize he'd been saying this for years 😂 time flies man
At the time of writing this he finally admitted he’s wrong
Max 2017: He’s falling off a cliff Max 2020: He finally fell
More like he's gliding
It’s like saying it’s going to snow in the winter in Alaska
He said 18 months so he wasn’t that far off
I don’t think he’s fallen off. He just had zero support last season
@@coreymccoy5713 january 2016 "it could be the next game he plays, it could be a year from now but he is gonna fall of the cliff"
Can’t hate on Max, he’s a native New Yorker lol
And he was a rapper
HitmanStark He’s hating on Brady
Roger Smith sucks for you then
Christopher Law Can you hate on Osama Bin Ladin?
William Kats III or hitler 🥴
I just came back here to enjoy this right after Brady won ring 7 and become lord of the rings 😂🤣😂
The year 2097 (Molly): Ok, so is Brady’s cliff with a slope or?
This was one of the best reverse psychology attempt of all time 👏🏼
Who's here after Brady got to the Super bowl with the Bucs Edit: THEY WON
Peyton manning > tom brady imo
I love how at the end it’s max telling me “Thanks for watching ESPN..”😂 SAS reactions are priceless
Can someone get Cliff Kellerman a TB autograph 😅
Who here after Tom Brady just got to his 10th Super Bowl?😂
Soon max is going to say lebron will fall off a cliff 😭
If you listen closely, he already is.
IMO, Brons decline, albeit slightly, started in 2016. Thanks to increased pace his numbers increased, but those ft%ages and lack of defense say otherwise.
Nah....he a bron Stan. He would rather die
Zoran Djurovic lebron been fallin off for awhile now
@@waynejshynzhinds4434 perhaps you should try to watch basketball. Obviously you have not seen him play over last year. And you need to go check his numbers from those seasons. Better yet watch the games so you can see the dominance. League pass isn't expensive and hopefully will keep you from sounding like an idiot.
Why didn’t they upload thus video today when they should’ve uploaded it after the day Brady won his six super bowl
5 years later and going strong 😭😭
Can we get an update, please? The man just made another Superbowl.
Tom Brady is literally back in the super bowl
The cliff theory has to be the funniest take in recent memory 😂😂😂
😂
Love these guys man. They deliver the PASSION in all of us...
Who’s here after super 55
😂 ESPN really trolling Max like this
Did Molly call him Cliff Kellerman?! Haha
Tom Brady's 2020 stats: 4,633 Yards 40 Touchdowns and 1 game away from making it to his 9th Conference Championship in 10 Years Max Kellerman stats: Clown
Keep it up Max! For all the times my proudly stubborn self had to admit I was wrong, I really hope Max holds out for the win of the century.
It's 2021, and Brady is STILL taking teams to the Superbowl. Brady got so bored taking the Patriots, he took a different team entirely to the Superbowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
He won two Super Bowls when he said this. One of them was the greatest comeback ever! I’m a giants fan and I hate Brady, but this was the dumbest take I’ve ever seen in my life
Logan V I feel the Same...🙄❤️🏈
No lies detected.
Peyton won one with a garbage arm as well.
Logan V giants fans one of the few fanbases that isn’t emotional about Brady. Pretty much every other fanbase has just been murdered by him but giants fans have no reason to be mad lol dude was the goat and he got got by Coughlin and eli
@@realitities2 twice
0:29 "Tom Brady is just about done" I die laughing everytime I hear that 😂
"Max Kellerman has been pushed off the cliff by Tom Brady." maybe this is the right one. lol.!
Man finally gave in and ate his words 😂😭😂 only took 5 years, 4 SB appearances, 3 SB rings, doing it without Belichick and the All time passing TD record.
His prediction aged like a peach inside a jar left outside on a hot, HOT summer day
Sploosh
Nobody: Max: Brady has officially fallen off the cliff
to be fair he’s right… 6 years later
Nope 2019 patriots was worse
@@Joeybago12 yea
Max “fell of the cliff” before Brady
This video needs to be updated with Max’s “I was wrong about Tom Brady falling off a cliff” clip. Priceless. Tom Brady is the first athlete ever to defeat players fans and the media.
Dude won 3 more superbowls after this and is still going smh😂😂💀
the cut at the end to the subscribe and like part got me laughing hard
We need an update of this compilation
"I'm 1 year off" is the funniest thing I heard so farm
Who’s here after Brady butchered Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl with the Bucs at age 43
Watching him eat crow on this prediction was one of my favorite moments of this season lol
Report from 2057, Tom Brady is still playing and has won a superbowl with every NFL team
Whenever I have a bad day, I check this 🤗!
THE CLIFF NEVER CAME.
This needs to be updated every year ESPN
This is the best content espn ever made 🔥💯
It insane that the cliff never came and Brady retired because he was sick of waiting for the cliff.
" 7 rings later"😅😅😅😅😅😅
And another one!!!!! *7* and SB MVP GO BRADY.....Maybe next year *Max* *LOL*
This is officially the worst take of all time. Brady never fell off the cliff
Remember this guy said that Winston was a top 10 qb at the beginning of the season......but espn keeps paying him
Led the league in passing yards...
@@theroyalcode threw 30 interceptions and sacked 47 times. Winston isn't even top 20 in the league.
Well... he is lmao
@@theroyalcode Playing in Bruce Arians' system will result in that. You're delusional if you think Winston is a top 10 QB just because he led the league in passing yards.
He revised it from a cliff to rolling hills.
LOL
everyone always assumed eventually he’d fall off bc thats whats normal but brady just retired being elite
They should make an updated one now
P) 9l
I had to come here after I heard Tom Brady retired
Tom Brady has literally played in 3 Super Bowls since this take, won 2, and lost 1, and has now brought his brand new team to another one, to make his 4th, in just 5 years...... That is actually insane when you think about it
Edit: He just played in his 4th in 5 years, and won it, so now he has 3 rings in the past 5 years 😂
It’s hilarious that this take still hasn’t aged well over 4 years after he first said Brady was done.
Tom Brady doing good for being on the edge of a cliff. Now heading Tampa to the super bowl 😂
Legends never die
Falling off of a cliff appears to be a very flexible metaphor
Just the title alone always makes me laugh.
Max “He’s gonna fall off the cliff” Kellerman
Since Max started this cliff nonsense, Tom Brady has thrown 153 touchdowns vs 41 interceptions. That's better than 3.5 to 1. He's made 4 SB appearances in 5 years, winning 2 and we'll have to wait until the outcome of the Chiefs game to see if its 3. 2 SB MVP's.
Kellerman is the type of dude that runs a red light and then gives you the bird instead of apologizing
Love this 😂
This video should be in the hall of fame
He just doesn't die, unbelievable
I can’t wait for this video to get updated after he takes the Bucs to the Super Bowl
I like how Max was the outro. Hahahaha
Max Kellerman Cliff Theory Might be finally be true after this year!!!! But Brady is the The Goat 🐐
Yeah it came true 4 years later while bradys going on 43
*Starr Playa Entertainment* TM- it could have been in 2021 but it happen this year, but he didn’t have the offense this year
@@starrplayaentertainmenttm1053 i mean.. no its has not even arrived. Brady is still probably a top 5 qb so he has slightly regressed
@@starrplayaentertainmenttm1053 Nope Brady just threw for 40 TDs and is going to the NFC championship
Revised: Brady won the super bowl out playing Mahomes and also threw Gronk a super bowl td... what a qb!!
He’s right about a lot of stuff & wrong too. However his view of Greatest and Best is the exact same as mine.
