Default "Buy/Sell" thread

I've seen this on other boards, and it seems worth trying to pass away the time to TC.

It's simple--I start by making a claim, such as "Tom Brady is the best QB in the AFC East."

If you think it's true, you BUY; if you think it's false, you SELL. . . . and then you post a new claim. It doesn't have to be Patriots-specific, but it should be NFL-related.

So, I'll get the ball rolling with this one:

Kevin O'Connell will score a rushing TD in 2008.

Sell....O' Connell will enjoy the sweet sweet smell of pine the second the preseason ends.

Maroney will rush for 1400 yards and 13 TDs

Sell. not because I think it is completely unreasonable but because I hope it doesn't happen becuase that may mean Brady was knocked out of the game.


Patriots will go 19-0? buy or sell

Selling O'Connell, Selling Maroney (those are high numbers, he'll be close but not over those), and selling 19-0 (too tough).

Brandon Meriweather will catch more interceptions than he drops. Buy or sell?

Sell, unless they allow stickum again.

Chad Jackson stats, 25 catches, 450 yards, 4 TDs. Plays in 14 games......

Just a quick reminder here, folks--please make sure you respond to the last statement posted, and post a new one. Otherwise things get really messy really quickly.

Sell, not because of the catches but because of the 14 games thing. He's like a too finely tuned finicy high performance sports car.

Crable makes the 53

BUY. The only way he doesn't is if he starts acting like Willie Andrews. (That said, I'd much rather he take after Willie McGinest.)

Now, mine:

Between the 53 and the practice squad, AT LEAST eight rookies are on the Patriots payroll on opening day.

SELL. I'm thinking more like 6-7.

Vince Wilfork will be extended before he hits free agency.

Buy. I think the Pats know he is the focal point of the entire defense.

Victor Hobson will be an impact starter at ILB.
