When most people talk about Tom Brady they refer to him as one of the top five best quarterbacks of all time, how much more respect could he get

Never before have I expected to be talked down to for my love of Brady on a Patriots board, I'll give you that. As it is, what I said is and will always be true.

No, honestly, I would not do that deal. The 49ers have those 3 players and the team blows. The Patriots have Tom Brady, and they have 3 SB rings, 4 AFC championships, and a perfect season. You do the math.

Too many people here are in fantasy football leagues and are all about the stats and are living in some la la land. QB is the most important position, Brady and Peyton Manning are the 2 guys in the league that could go onto any team and make them a SB contender. Matt Cassel is not one of those guys, though he is a good player. We keep the MVP of the league, we contend every year.

WTF??? Are you kidding or serious?

I do not think Brady should be traded. I am saying the fans and media are saying this.Personally, I think it is stupid. Brady is a once in a lifetime qb. Any team he goes to becomes a contender. You would have to trade him to the nfc. Imagine Brady as a Bear.

Its not a matter if you would do the deal or not. The post was referring to 'people who are out of their friggin minds' who would consider trading Brady, in other words, there is not a trade in the league that a true Patriots fan would consider for Tom.
BTW, those championships were a team product and no way the Patriots would have won with a bad defense, which is what we currently have.

I agree its a team product. But a centerpiece is Brady. Great players don't just add up to championships. You just listed 3 superstars on the Niners, yet their team struggles each year. When you have a player who you've build a championship level offense around, you don't part with him.

I think we all understand the mindset...."Hey, we've got Matt Cassell! Think about how much we could get for Tommy to improve the team with Matt as our starter!"

This for some may sound like a good idea but it's right up there with cheating on your wife and selling her belongings while she's flat on her back in the hospital for a few months. Sure you're "getting some" with Cassell but do you really want a scorned Tom Brady gunning for the Patriots every chance he gets?

Picture this scenario: Brady gets traded then winds up with the Jets who will be thirsty for a new star QB in another year or two, does anyone who is a Patriots fan REALLY want to ever see one of our most beloved professional athletes playing for NY? It worked out SO well with Babe Ruth!

Nuh uh! NO WAY! Thanks Matt for the season and best of luck in your future but we'll wait patiently for Mr. Brady to return!

There are an endless list of teams with multiple superstars that struggle each year, just as there are an endless list of teams with great qb's who's teams struggle each year. Your comparing the 49er's to the Patriots which is not the equation. The scenario is getting a package of great players (IMO defensive players) to make a shut down defense while having a pretty good QB who is getting better in each game. Note, I'm not saying the Patriots should do this, what I object to is the fans calling out to members as disgraceful for even thinking it, which just fuels my jets. Many championships have been won on trading great players, and I really don't care if one is a fan favorite or not.

I think brady knows people are stupid, and that its never going to happen.
