The biggest beneficiaries of this trade from an individual stats POV, are Lawrence Maroney and Ben Watson.. Watson does not get doubled any more and CB's and Safeties will have to focus on our receivers more than the run.

You opened yourself up for this...you seem to have a fond interest in the Colts and the Dolphins. With a quick look here are several threads that you yourself started. The list would be far too long to include the countless threads about the Colts that you contributed to. BTW, what is you fascination with fat chicks? You bring them up a lot.
I come here to discuss football with people that don't all hold the same opinion that I do. I find that most here are pretty well thought out discussion, even though we may not always see eye to eye. There are a few that just can't seem to get along with others though. ::nudge, nudge:: Just because this is a Pats fans site, doesn't mean it should be limited to only Pats fans. Outside input and perspective makes most things better. How boring would life be if everyone thought the same way? Or this board if it was only cheerleaders and homers? If people are trolls, have at them. But just because someone is a fan of another team, it doesn't make them any less of a fan or less knowledgeable than you. You seem to care something about what Colts fans think or you wouldn't bother wasting your time visiting the Star's message board.
This post is a bit out of character for me. I'm pretty non-confrontational, but sometime you have to call the "pot" out when he is going on and on about the "kettle". Just my two cents.
Is there any reason why you Colts fans have to come over here? Is there some adolescent need to act out?
If you are a fan of your team, why aren't you on a Colts board discussing them? I never understood people who go to other boards and interfere with their discussions. What is the purpose of that? What is your opinion of fans who come to Colts forums and make fools of themselves? Answer by speaking out loud, looking into a mirror.
You guys say you want to discuss football and start the thread by saying Brady can't throw deep. That's obviously not true, and the only purpose is to rile people up, while you snicker like Beavis and Butthead.
There are a couple of fans from other sites who do want to talk football, and they do, and it isn't by insulting thier hosts. And they don't say things like,
Tom Brady has been played in a system where the short passing game is what he does best. Could I be wrong in thinking changing philosophy could actually hurt the patriots more because of Tom being a great short game passer. Ive watch Brady long enough to know he has never really had a true deep threat. If the pats start stretching the field more, it could take away from the short game of the Pats....Time will tell if Brady can succeed like Manning and Kurt Warner when playing more down the field. What are some objective views?
You ask if Brady will be as successful as Manning or Warner? Well, I view success in the # of rings these QB's are wearing. Last score...Brady-3.......Manning/Warner-1. Another way too look at it is how Manning learned to adjust his game this year to take advantage of the dink&dunk to guys like Dallas Clark, which in turn helped him in their comeback against the Pats in the AFCG. If Tom Brady can win with the offense he's had over the past 6 seasons, I have no concerns that #12 will learn how to utilize the receivers now lining up at the line of scrimmage with him. Brady and Manning are both talented and smart, to put Kurt Warner in their company isn't right.

The "fat chicks" line is alluding to the fat that in many of danny88 post that are similar to...

When it comes to fans visiting other teams messages board in my case it's about two things. One, to get a different perspective on things. And two, to discuss/debate topics with people that don't have the exact same feelings as me. There are those who troll, just go look at the Star's board. It gotten better, but there are still several hanger ons. I'm not here to troll, I don't troll. Just go look at my posts. I dislike Colts trolls on this site nearly as much as you guys do. They embarrass me as a Colts fan. Frequently the only topics that I actively participate in are Colts threads, most started by Pats fans. The only reason that I even digressed into the danny88 issue was to point out how hypocritical he was being.

To adress the original question, Brady will be fine. Truth is, Brady throws a hell of a long ball. We've had a problem getting guys open the last couple of years. That should'nt be a problem now. In theory, at least.

Hey Favre, YOU SUCK!!!
The Boston Herald - It ain't toilet paper, but it'll do the job.

Kurt Warner had enough of an arm that he could just fire it down field and let his receivers make a play on the ball. The only thing that I can make from this comment is that he was comparing Warner's down field success with Brady's short game success. While Warner did put up some big numbers for a short period of time and did get a Super Bowl ring and an MVP, it was just a short period. Including Warner with Manning and Brady really doesn't apply when you talk about career success. Maybe in a single season discussion, but not overall.

Agreed! I believe that offense made Kurt Warner successful, whereas, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning make their offenses work. I have to admit. Last year I wouldn't have given Manning the credit, but after watching him adjust his game, made me believe he's worthy of the accolades he now receives! That being said, I would still take Brady over Manning as my starting QB.
