Adam vs Drew - New England Patriots Forums

Digger44 · 02-01-2006, 04:47 PM

I love Adam and am thankful for his contribution. I wanna see him sign and retire a Pat. Is it possible that Adam is similar to Drew Bledsoe? Both are/were older and starting to slip (even if it isnt much) out of their prime. Drew broke a billion records as a Pat and was a great guy. Isn't the Adam situation similar in the area of finding a younger guy who has a brighter future? Yes, the difference is that Drew was ousted bcs of an injury, I know. However, BB stuck with Tommy even when Drew was ready to go and arguably a better qb at that time.

No. They're polar opposites. You can always rely on Adam to win the game in the clutch. You could always rely on Drew to throw picks to opposing LBs in the clutch.

Sure, I know there are those type of differences, but I remember many in patriot nation freaking out over Drew, and can see the same if BB decides to go the same way with Adam.

Ignoring the HUGE difference I posted...Who is the miracle kicker to displace Adam?

Am I or you BB? Was TB the miracle QB when he was a 4th stringer? If BB lets Adam go he has a great plan.

I don't know where, and how, all this negitivity toward Adam if coming from fellow Patriots fans.

Where is the evidence that he has slipped? He is still in his prime age for a kicker. Until I see proof on the field that he has slipped, he's the guy I want to see come out in a clutch situation.

IMHO, cutting/trading AV would be like Red cutting Bird cause his back wasn't 100% ...

First there was Capeletti, and then there was Vinatieri. Both earned the right the wear the Pats uniform until they decide it's over.

Even if that means paying him more than any other kicker in the league? I'm sorry, but you can count me out on that.

A Nick Saban - LSU type deal would work. Guarantee him Highest Paid Kicker + $1 ...

I agree...put this to bed for god's sake...Adam is our kicker, I hope for all our sakes he gets offered a fair long term cotract, to see him in another uniform would tear a hole in the universe...
