Because Felger knows a lot more about football and the Pats than Brady. It is easy to play on the field but very tough to observe and pass scathing comments.

Feel sad that I wrote the above - really - because Felger supported the Pats and Brady so vehemently in 2001 against the BG writers.

Are you saying Moss has decided not to play this season and hold the team hostage? If not, the poster is correct, there is no comparison!

Exactly. If this was deion branch, he'd be holding out right now. Moss is just catching footballs.

IMO Moss' frustration was mostly directed at the media--esp. the local media. They jump on him every chance they get. Yet we haven't even heard a word about TO and Chad leaving the 2nd quarter early yesterday.

No. Not at all. I hate how people grade player's careers based on a Superbowl victory or MVP award. Aside from that game, what else has Branch really done in his career? He was/is a solid player and nothing more. He showed up and brought his A game to the Superbowl (1 game) and deserved the MVP award, but to put him in the same sentence as Moss because Moss doesnt have an MVP or ring is RETARDED.

This goes hand in hand with how people grade the talent of a QB on rings. STUPID.

``Deion is the most important player on our offense," Brady told SI.com. ``When I look at the elite receivers he is second to nobody."
Brady said Warfield told him, ``Deion was the best I faced. He was spectacular."

Do you have a point to make? Because it seems to me that you tried to compare Branch with Moss. Moss is a lock for the HOF and was a huge reason for the 2 highest scoring offenses in NFL history.

So what is your point exactly?

Also Randy Moss has the most sucessful rookie season in NFL history, most td by a rookie, most td in a single season and 2nd most tds in the history of the NFL.

Now, do you really want to compare Branch to Moss?

That this is what Tommy would say publicly about his #1WR no matter what he did or how he complicated Brady's already sufficiently complicated life off the field?? Brady loved Branch, raised him from a pup while he himself was still a pup. Won 2 rings together. He was as frustrated with the player as the FO (and maybe moreso) by the time it ended the way it ended...

How can you tell me how frustrated Brady was with Branch?

Anyway this still has nothing to do with what the Patriots will do with Moss. Branch refused to honor his contract and was traded. There is 0 parallel with Moss playing in the last season of his current contract.
