"After all, there are still some Patriots fans that prefer Drew Bledsoe to Brady. Sad but true."

Can't say i know a single one.

I don't think Drew Bledsoe's parents would rather have him at QB.

I think it was hyperbole, but at the time of the trade, there were quite a few people who wanted to trade Brady. I admit at the time I thought Bledsoe was the better QB althought I felt Brady fit the system better. I always thought Bledsoe was the better QB to trade, but at the time I didn't think Brady would be as good as Bledsoe was. Boy, was I wrong.

Oh, Mack still would don't kid yourself. That was part of the problem.

As I've said/thought all along. This pre-season is Hoyer's try-off for his next contract. The kid seems to have the right attitude and work ethic.

As his stock (hopefully) continues to rise, it will be interesting to see wha tthe media thinks his ceiling would be (though that doesn't mean it will be accurate, but should be a decent indicator that a pro team will be willing to give him a chance).

Also, I stopped scrolling once I saw Farve.

Perfect example of why I hate PFT. Once upon a time, Florio would post rumours that he heard. Nowadays the site just makes a guess at what *might* be going on (but, as Professor Patchick points out, there isn't the slightest reason to think actually is) and publishes it as a "rumor". If I want wild guesses that are right one time in a hundred I don't need PFT.

Still here to learn

BradyManny

I don't see what someone could realistically offer us that would be more valuable than depth behind Brady. Often, it feels like this team would be S.O.L without Brady. Even for as good a QB as Cassel is now and was for us, losing Brady meant a team that had just gone 16-0 against a brutal schedule missed the playoffs against one of the easiest schedules in history.

But everything we've seen from Hoyer suggests the team would be in very capable hands were the unthinkable to happen again. Why would we trade away that insurance? Same goes for Mallett. There's room for more than one or two good QBs on this roster.

Patspsycho

That is an idiotic conjecture.. sometimes PFT gets it right, but most certainly not this time.

No showcasing going on. We will carry 3 QB's this year. Mallet is too raw to be a backup.
