In the ESPN article published after the signing, "Although he has played 14 NFL seasons, Galloway remains one of the league's fastest players and is capable of going deep."

That does not sound like a middle of the road receiver, there was another interested team (the Steelers) and the only question sounded to be durability after an injury. He still sounds like he can move faster than most receivers and other defenders in the league. As for exact 40-times (at this point an unverified time unless he stops off at the combine and does it), who knows and who cares. The only thing that matters is what he does on the field with defenders trying to hold him on the line.

Deus Irae

They have him on for the same reason they have Mort and the rest of them on: because they are good at their jobs. Despite what people here like to claim, those people are very good at getting information. The problem is that people forget the 99 accurate tidbits of information and spend hours bashing these people for the 1 tidbit they got wrong.

I'm not at all concerned. When Brady was dropping back and throwing passes in January that was the same time Rivers was getting hurt last year. Brady is now working on his sideways agility which is an advanced stage for this. He has a long time to go, I expect him to not miss a beat. Seriously.

Not really. Both Carson Palmer (who had a more serious injury) and Philip Rivers came back from ACL tears with far shorter rehab times and had Pro Bowl quality years on their return. In fact, Rivers had the best year of his career.

Brady could suffer a setback, but he isn't a scrambling QB and it wasn't his plant leg. Odds are good he will be back as good as ever.

Mort seems to be more accurate of late, and even he has had a couple of mishaps.

But still... what did Clayton say earlier in '09 that was completely crazy ?

I hope everyone underestimates the Pats.

Under 4.3 at any age is damn fast - at 37 it is amazing.

Sounds right, but just one thing though: even though he has a funky delivery, almost looking like he short-arms or shotputs the ball, I think Rivers has a stronger arm and upper body than Brady, so he can make up for a leg that's not 100% more than Brady can. Also, Rivers has youth on his side. I think Tom needs to be closer to 100% physically than Rivers does to be what he used to be.

haha true let them all doubt us!

Agree on the youth, not sure about the upper body, Brady has gotten a lot stronger over the years. Bottom line for me, though, is hearing where he is in rehab shows he is ahead of schedule and will have some time to spare to work on anything he needs to. Honestly, I expect him to be out there the first day of training camp (with a Red Jersey of course) and working on the feel with the new leg.

What was the context of his statements? If he was just saying the Pats aren't a lock, well, we know all too well that nothing is guaranteed. And if the Pats just aren't his pick for whatever reason, I'll allow it. Of course he's WRONG, but I'll allow it.

But if he meant the Pats aren't even contenders, with or without Peppers...sorry, but nobody with more than two brain cells to rub together believes that. NOBODY! So, giving Clayton the benefit of the doubt, I'll assume he has at least three, and that he/ESPN spout nonsensical BS because they feel the need to throw fans of the other 31 teams a bone once in a while!
