Who were you most secure with as a backup to Brady turing his tenure here so far?

The 12th Man

Although Flutie is a big fan favorite too, my pick is Drew Bledsoe that year. He was nothing less than classy when Belichick said he would stick with Brady as a starter even though Bledsoe was already healed. Drew still helped Tom out with advice and supported him the entire way through. Gotta respect him for that. He also came in and threw a TD pass against the Steelers when Brady went down to help us get to the SuperBowl. Huard was also a very good backup.

If you don't like Flutie, then you hate freedom

I said Cassel. I like watching him play. I'm looking forward to getting to see him next preseason (hopefully that's all). IMO he could turn into a good starter in this league, but most likely with another team.

I remember watching Huard play for Miami in 1999 and thinking he was a gamer. Flutie was a scrapper too, but he was old. Huard was on the upswing.

Huard got a gameball for when we beat the Colts in the 2003 playoffs for how he helped the defense prepare in practice.

You're naive. He was mildly petulant in public once the decision was made to stick with Brady for the season. And uncomfortable at best to deal with in private for his coaches and teamates, including Brady.

Geesh...no love for Rohan.

Flutie and Vinny never backed Tom up, they backed Matt up. Huard only backed Tom up after Drew left, and then he left having thrown 1 incomplete pass in three seasons.

I feel pretty comfortable with Cassel entering his third season in the system. Particularly given the confidence BB has shown in him in not even bringing in a #3 for most of last season.

Emotionally? Flutie. Based on what he contributed? Bledsoe, hands down with extra points for class.

Flu-tie...The dropkick for the extra point and then him jumping into his Behlichick's arms! Easily one of the funniest patriot moments ever...
