Its Brady's team and job...when he is healthy. Lets hope the reports are false, otherwise we need to keep Cassel.

The rumors about Brady's knee scare the crap out of me. The remote idea that we could have seen his last game in a Pats uniform and not even have known it at the time is depressing to say the least.

The NFL is a business, as the Lawyer Milloy saga reminded all of us. As did the decisions of Willie and Adam and Deion and Ty and Asante and...

So, ultimately, This is Bob Kraft's team. His signature is on every check and his signature is on the lease for the Stadium and surrounding properties.

After that, I think it's Bill Belichick's team. The team plays his system and by his rules. Tom Brady and Matt Cassel both flourished in that system and with those rules.

On the field, I'd like to agree that it's Tom Brady's team. But, in the business of the modern NFL, the team belongs to the leader who can best help the team win and thereby help every individual player maximize his own professional and economic potential in the NFL. If Tom can come back at full capacity, he's that guy. If he can't, Matt has shown what he can do.

I know that sounds coldhearted and believe me it's not what I "feel." My kids have worn Number 12's jersey since they were toddlers. But, I do think it's the truth.
