i can't imagine another year without brady..
and if it's all true, does he ever want to come back??
i guess we will find out the real situation sometime in the summer when camps begin.

yeah,,maybe he can answer how casserly can say last week , brady is on schedule but he says he isnt.
also, this is obviously reaching but if brady's career was really in threat right now , i doubt we would be seeing him this much publicly considering how the pats operate. i take that as somewhat a +ve sign.

This could be... repeat could be... step one in a campaign to justify franchising Cassel.. followed by a relatively quick trade once they discover that, what do you know, Brady isn't as far behind as we thought.

I think Brady would never give anyone this information to anyone in the press. Curran must have got it from somewhere else.

As I expanded in my post that you probably didn't see since you responded before I posted, it may be a case of "telephone" where the information gets distorted a bit second hand when it gets past on and the prognosis may be less severe than as it was portrayed to Curran. Granted it could be worse too with that line of thinking.

Good thinking there. Have to tend to trust the Casserly scoop more than most.

It would make some sense to avoid the NFLPA and other teams crying about the Pats cheating the franchise tag progress, but I tend to doubt it.

This will help us franchise Cassel without any questions.

That was my initial thought. That it comes a week after the Casserly report further adds to the possibility, imo.

I do tend to agree that I would doubt Brady would be at Patriots events if the prognosis was so bleak. I don't think they would keep Brady away from events outside the organization, but it seems foolish to have him at public Patriots events where the entire Boston Sport Media will be present.
