Brace brushes aside media criticism - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Busto's comments remind me of that quote attributed to Lincoln...or Twain...
It is better to remain silent & be thought a fool, Ronnie, than to open you big fat mouth
and remove all doubt, as if there were any in the first place.

A motivational speaker he's not. As long as he gets his ass in gear and keeps it up who cares? I don't think it's a brainstorm that very large people often need to push themselves more, as they have a lot to push around. The Vince Wilforks of the world are the exception, not the rule.

There's a job. Take it or someone else will.

I'm on Brace's side. He didn't get his his roster spot by some kind of trickery. He earned it. That's a big accomplishment, even though he and we all wish he'd have accomplished a lot more beyond that.

Tom Brady has said almost those exact words on numerous occasions over the years. There were numerous times, especially during the whole Bledsoe controversy.

Did you even read the article, or did you see "Brace" in an ESPN headline and decide to make a thread to bash him? If you had paid attention, you'd realize that this is exactly the kind of thing he's talking about.

Let's edit his quotes a little to change the context from the media to captain stone's posts...
Quote:
Because if you make one mistake, or even if you don't do anything, you have [captain stone] on you saying this and that, spitting out, even though [he has] no idea what [he's] talking about. You can get caught up and messed up in that.

I've read some [captain stone posts] and all that crap where [he says] that I'm a bust, some that I'm on the bubble on the roster. But you know what? I realize that I'm still on the roster. I'm on something that [he's] never been on.

I worked hard to get here. [He hasn't] worked like I have. That's the reason why [he's] never going to be where I've been. I never worry about that. That's what I say is the only hard part. Other than that I just treat it like the same flow like I have been since high school and college. You have to work hard and get better if you're playing this game of football.

I agree with what he said though...could have put it a little better but I generally agree with his comments. Media slam you, but you've just gotta ignore it and remember what got you to this point and continue on with it and try and improve.

TFB lashed out and attacked the media, claiming he's not a bust and how he's made a roster, which they've never done?

Brace should do his talking on the field, which TFB has consistently done.

You might want to follow your own advice. Creating a thread with the sole purpose of bashing a guy who has not lived up to expectations, but who by all accounts has been a solid team player? Sounds like something that belongs on the Jets' forums.
