I agree, his career went on a huge downward spiral around 98-99.

im not going to attack brady like others have decided to do because i understand why hes not here but when i heard he wasnt attending it was a big letdown after hearing all the players talk about how important it was to get into foxboro early and working together

To him shes the same as your women is to you.

you're missing the whole point........his life is already in the process of moving on from football.......he does not come across as a guy who needs to drag things out........4 super bowl appearances, 3 rings.....his legacy is set as is his bank account......

guys who have won 3 superbowls and have had his kind of success can easily start pondering the value of the 7 month grind......

not sure who's attacking him......just trying to put myself in his spot and the idea that he might be wondering when would be a good time to get out with everything still intact

I'm really starting to understand why the rest of the country hates NE fans.

tell me were in my post i said. that i want bledsoe back and don't want brady,

saying some one played better then brady at some point dose not mean. i don't want brady as the pats QB. it was a reply to someone that said brady, may have played better then bledsoe, with a hurt finger.

and i don't get wey if any one says anything about brady, it's hateing on him and he's 3 rigns. i can name about 5 QB's that played better then brady this year. dose that mean i don't want brady as the QB of the pats. no it's just the truth.

I really wish Tom was at the workouts, if only to set an example for the others. I agree that he doesn't need to be there, and the rest may be good for him. But as the leader of the team, it'd be good to have him around. But I understand, and can't blame him either. It may even lengthen his career instead of burning him out.

Maybe Hoyer is that guy, I hope so.

Maybe we can get Tebow for a QB, sure we'd 0-16 but at least we could call our QB tough. Or maybe we could throw a LB out there. Who needs a QB at all for that matter, how about we just run every play. Would that be tough enough for you tough guy?

I think Patriots fans are totally justified in bashing Brady for spending time with his family over going to voluntary offseason workouts. Why can't things be like they were a few years ago when the core players on this team had football as their #1 priority and took any opportunity to sacrifice their personal lives for an edge on the field. I tell you this team has gone all to hell lately.

oh wait.

Time to start grooming someone that WANTS to be in ANY team oriented stuff.
Tom used to be like that, it was a big deal- team chemistry, yada yada yada... now there are excuses..
Team chemistry isn't important anymore?
Lead by example?
Or is it IDGAS, I can do MY stuff here at home with my wife..........
Whatever they are it's time for Billy to SERIOUSLY start looking at his sucessor.

How does he come across in all of your personal contact with him?
Come on, you have no clue what he thinks.
People who have legacies have them because of an abnormal level of drive that isnt satisfied by a bank account, an amount of rings or 'arriving' because his wife is hot.
He 'comes across' as a guy who wants to play football as long as he is physically able to. Because that is what he has said.
