The Official 'Trade Brady' Debate Thread - Do Not Start Another One
This is going here for one reason and one reason only. I understand there are some who want to speculate, even though most of these same people were ready to kick Cassel out in favor of O'Connell in week 3 yet now they feel he should be a good replacement for Brady. There are also some who just want to trade Brady for the sake of seeing what the Pats would do with two #1 Picks. I get it. I don't agree with it, but I get it.
However THIS IS THE ONLY THREAD TO DO IT IN. Please keep them in THIS thread. Do not post NEW threads on this, there have been plenty of them as it is. If you post another one, it will get deleted. If you repeatedly attempt to post multiple ones, you will be penalized.
Also, keep the personal attacks to a minimum. By posting in this thread you realize that odds are pretty good that people are going to respond passionately and will likely be irritated. Needless to say keep it good natured, or again, you will be penalized.

What could they get for him? He is injured and had some complications after the surgery. Just asking.
At least two first round picks, easy. I wouldn't trade him for less than two firsts and two seconds and then I wouldn't trade him. He is still the best player in football. By February he will be able to workout for a team.
This thread should get moved to the Practice Squad!!
But seriously, this is not like Brady vs. Bledsoe. Brady is the best man for the job and should be on top for a long long time.
That's what she said.

Teams people hate: Dallas Cowboys (Great team, 90's dynasty, whooped up on alot of teams asses), Oakland Raiders (Great team, debatable late 70's/early 80's dynasty, whooped up on alot of teams), Pittsburgh Steelers (Great team, 70's dynasty/possible team of the decade with SB win this year, whooped up on alot of teams) New York Yankees (Great team, 27 World Series Wins, whooped up on alot of teams) LA Lakers (Great team, 80's, late 90's dynasty, whooped up on alot of teams), New England Patriots (Great team, team of the decade 2000's, whooped up on alot of teams).
Conclusion: People hate winners, and blow things winners do out of proportion. How many NBA players are most likely accused of rape? How many get the kind of media coverage Kobe Bryant did? How many MLB teams make alot of money and hoard it? How many are willing to put the money they make back into the team to ensure a competitive product? (Besides the Yankees, the Red Sox and maybe the Angels). How many NFL teams did steroids in the 70's? Most likely all. How many were accused to it influencing thier winning? The Steelers. How many teams have misinterprited rules? Plenty: The 49ers owner was stripped of his team for improper practices. The Broncos won 2 Super Bowls with "creative" salary cap numbers. Jimmy Johnson learned recording defensive signals from Marty Schottenheimer (who else worked for Marty? Herm Edwards, Bill Cowher, Tony Dungy. You honestly think he would just teach Jimmy Johnson that and no one else on his staff?)
Winners have been around forever. People crying about those winners has ALSO been around forever. I love the fact that so many people hate my beloved Patriots...it means we are one of the very best teams of all time. Success breeds contempt. I hope we are hated for a very long time.
I don't want Brady traded, he is my favorite player ever. He is still in his prime and has at least 4 amazing years still left in him. He is an icon, the face and soul of the Pats, and you know he's going to come back from injury with a killer season.
That being said, if someone offered us three #1 upper-half picks for Brady, I would have to think about it.
"I was leaving late one night, and this tall skinny kid approached me holding a pizza box. I said, "I know who you are, you're Tom Brady, sixth-round pick from Michigan." And he replied, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' I was stunned. The amazing thing is he didn't say it to be arrogant...he was sincere. I went home and told everyone about it." - Bob Kraft
