The Official 'Trade Brady' Debate Thread - Do Not Start Another One - Page 8 - New England Patriots Forums

Why don't we also trade Moss and Welker while we are at it?

We could get a lot of players / picks for them too... Also, we could also trade our fan base to the team acquiring them.

Brady will be back and knowing his attitude towards the game, he will work twice as hard once he's back and we'll be "Unstoppable".. (God.. I hate those Eli Manning ads .. it reminds of that stupid SB loss, the game that every Pats fan would like to forget)

In 5-6 years someone will replace him for good.

No one is irreplaceable. Everyone gets replaced eventually.

"Irreplaceable" also refers to the idea that you can't adequately replace somebody. You can put somebody in the hole they leave but you can't equal what was once there. Brady is irreplaceable.

Okay, here are my thoughts. I like the kid, I didnt in the beginning, I'll admit that, but he's impressed me in a way that Tom Brady didnt his first year. Yeah Tom Brady is a great QB, but he took a long time to become the QB we all saw last year. Cassel now that he knows the offense and is comfortable he's making plays that Brady could never. Cassel is as good of a passer as Brady, he needs some work on his long ball, I wont argue that, but I can all ready see an improvement in that. I believe that this kid has a lot of potential and that the Patriots should move on and let someone else take the risk of Brady not getting the game back and develop this kid who has shown me a lot of potential. I know many of you will disagree, but thats what this is here for, for us fans to talk things like this out.

Brady didn't have Moss, Welker and Gaffney until last year. Cassel has only ever had them.

I find it kind of amazing how people here can forget how terrible everyone thought we were in 2001 until Brady took the helm. It's not like the only problem we had was Drew Bledsoe.

Let's be honest. We all love Brady and think highly of him over Cassel, even though he's never going to be the scrambler that Cassel is. That said, if there was ever a coach with ice in his veins, it would be Belichick. As horrible as it might seem for us, you know he is at least thinking about it. I'll say this about myself though: I don't think I could root for the pats if they traded Tom, at least not as much as I do now.

Dont think you would be alone on that thought......

remember the outcry after the LM move? that would be nothing compared to what would happen if brady was gone

-ok i hardly post on here, but this thread is so out of this world i had to post.

-what the hell?!?! this is so pathetic anyone who wants to trade tom brady one of the faces of this franchise is a complete moron and is not in any way shape or form a patriots fan, i dont care what your argument is your wrong.

-lets not forget he helped us to 3 superbowl titles and threw 50 touchdown passes last year. hes not done and hes not going to have a bum knee and matt cassel is not better than him.

-im not bashing cassel i love him and hes done a GREAT job this year, but come on lets be serious, tom brady is the best quaterback in the league, and hes going to show everyone that again in 2009.
