Brady makes it clear: Patriots are better with Moss - New England Patriots Forums

My apologies if this has already been posted. I did a quick scan of the front page and didn't see it. Anyway, Brady was on WEEI earlier and weighed in on the Moss situation.

NFL.com news: Brady makes it clear: Patriots are better with Moss

Quote:

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady isn't flustered by the fiery postgame comments issued by wide receiver Randy Moss, who said he doesn't feel appreciated by the team and that waiting until after the season to get a new contract would be "a smack in my face."

Brady, who capped off a memorable week that included a car crash and a contract extension with Sunday's 38-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, spoke at length with WEEI-AM's "The Dennis & Callahan Show" on Monday morning.

Brady made it clear that he'd like to have Moss back next season.

"I told (Moss) the way I felt," Brady said. "I mean, I'm telling you, every quarterback in the league would want him on their team. He's a great player, he's a dominant player."

Brady suggested that Moss doesn't demand star treatment and understands his place in the organization.

Saw a video on the patriots iPhone app of Moss showing some leadership effort in the lockerroom. It was just a little thing to amp them up and celebrate by clapping on rhythm, but it was something nevertheless. Can't post the link right now, I'm on my phone. Sorry.

Using PatJews famous phrase, sign the beast.

Tom Brady said the same thing about Deion Branch, and we all know what happened with the front office long term interest and strategy.
Resigning or releasing him next year , will depend on how our young offense progress,future draft picks, trades ,etc etc etc etc

Kraft will always look for the Best Bang for the Buck , that's why he is a billionaire.

The 2 situations are massively different and how dare you put Branch's name anywhere close to the same sentence as Moss.

Branch was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXXIX on February 6, 2005 , is this enough?

What I find sad about this is that Moss likely would get resigned if he just does his job. Up until now, Brady, Kraft, and BB loved him.

Moss is insecure and acting out looking for attention, but he won't get that kind of attention out of BB. He just needs to keep his head down and play.

Whats Branch doing these days?Moss still has i feel 2 more years left in the tank.This team needs Brandon Tate to develop into something.

uhh no. MVP of a single game (in which Brady was the real MVP) does not put him in the same stratosphere as Moss. Are you being serious?

PS: Branch refused to honor his contract.

Why should we take Brady's word for it compared to, say, Michael Felger?
