Default Does BB owe it to the Fans to be straight forward about Brady?

I'm sort of torn about this. Part of me has always loved BB's indignation when it comes to the injury report, but another part of me always felt that if Brady ever went down, BB would owe it to the fans to be honest about what's going on. I don't know if I can deal with a season in which Brady is 50/50 every week and never ends up playing. I know BB has given us more than fans should ever expect, but does he "owe" it to us to be upfront about this injury? I don't think I can stomach not being sure all season....

BB owes it to the fans to do whatever is best for the football team, and do whatever it takes to give them the best chance to win. If that means disguising the nature/extent of the injury, or force teams to gameplan around Brady even if he isn't going to play, then that's what he should do.

I'm sorry, but I wholeheartedly disagree. The most important player on our team goes down and you want BB to change his rules on how he governs injury information on our behalf? I'd hope not.

I asked a question, I didn't make a declarative statement. There's nothing to "disagree" with me on.

I don't think he owes us anything.

I also think it has been proven over and over that injury info given out is usually unreliable anyways. Tom Coughlin announced Osi was fine. He was told he was. Then he had an MRI and he was out for the year.

Right now, what BB owes me is to do whatever he can to get ready to beat the #$%&! Jets. That's about it for me, can't speak for other fans.

It may be torture for us to not be up to date with the Franchise's injury, but I think our suffering during the week is negated by the advantage we have now with the opposing teams not knowing anything either. So basically as long as we are winning, I am fine with BB's silence.

You know BB will do what is best, and he will keep playing his games with the media

Maybe he should just tell us, then we won't be worried sick about it, SSSSSHHHHH we won't tell nobody!!!!!
