Really? Name 'em. Seems to be an exercise many including yourself have engaged in numerous times in the recent and not so recent past. A few have gotten their$ and even continued to garner accolades and paychecks that simply don't match up to their actual performance or impact. Perception is slow to change in this hype driven league. Adam is the only guy who went on to equal past accomplishments well past approaching his expiration date here.

Why should Broque get an exemption? Why should he be entitled to persue something he wanted that he couldn't get here?

Deus Irae

Here's a quick four, just off the top of my head....

Seymour
Samuel
Branch (First 2 years before the injuries)
Spires

I googled patsfans booing Bledsoe and aside from when he played for us all I could come up with was a widipedia reference that he was cheered on all three return appearances here, for all he did for us after all...

I know Drew was traded, but he bore a good deal of responsibility for things ever coming to that here. Still being traded is not a lot different than a guy being allowed to walk absent a competitive offer not to, let alone one who had accomplished as much here as Adam had.

Because the Bruins management really f-ed him over during his career. And it is Bourque. And the booing is not cause Adam left via free agency. He left because he went to the Pats #1 rival. Same with Damon. If went any to any other team but the Colts or Jets. He would never get boo'ed.

So do I. Only I think for the most part guys who gave their all in a lost cause, let alone contributed to so many others not being lost (and in Adam's case perhaps all of them) who are basically taken for granted and given cavalier take it or leave it offers they can easily exceed all deserve the same kind of understanding from their previously devoted fans. I will feel the same if Welker goes, even ringless and even if he lands in a swamp, and I would certainly never boo Brady if he ended up playing out his career for a rival (or a team he'd likely turn into one...) because this team chose not to persue him prior to FA or offer him a competitive contract.

Good thing we don't play the Steelers this season. That ingrate backup we cut Hoyer is rumored about to sign on with another hated rival, like he couldn't have talked himself into the mix in AZ or something for cripes sakes.

Personally I'll be prayin' for the kid if he does. Steelers QB's are giving new meaning to the term next man standing...

LOL - that's because we knew he couldn't really hurt us. If he was kicking our collective a s s e s every time he came here, he'd be booed too.
