Sorry, but I can see trading Brady...

in 2018.

Same talk the 1990 Patriots got.

Their franchise is not cursed; it's mismanaged. They can be managed. I'd say that if Dan Snyder finally got it then anybody can get it.

Love Tom as much as anyone and I agree the thought is sickening but putting on the GM hat for a second would you seriously turn down say the Cleveland browns 1st and 2nd this year and next for Brady? I wouldn't. There is a price for everyone even the GOAT. That is 8 1st and 2nd round picks in 2 years with bill's draft record that is probably 1 all pro, 3 damn good starters potential pro bowlers 2 role players, and 2 busts. You have to take that deal as much as it hurts.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Skins have had winning seasons before.

The difference, the Pats rid themselves of the curse of the Sullivans and Victor Kiam. The Jets are cursed with Woody Johnson for the foreseeable future.

With the lack of QB talent in the upcoming draft, you'd take that deal?

Yes I would for two reasons. We have a first round talent in mallet or someone who is good enough by signing Cassel. Are they Brady? Of course not but they have two all pro TE's and a decent running game to lean on. Plus think of the upgrades. I admit to not following college ball much but imagine being able to take a Julio Jones kind of receiver plus a top corner/safety bpa or choose your flavor.

The other reason is my faith in bellichick. Yes Brady is the GOAT and in a vacuum there is no one else I would want to play QB for the pats, that said I believe bellichick is the GOAT coach and given that kind of ammo would build the kind of team around his QB to dominate. I give Brady his due and put him as #2 on my list of why the pats are so successful, but number one goes to bill. Brady has another 3 to 4 years of elite Super Bowl winning play left. That trade keeps the pats relevant for 5 to 10 depending on what they do with it.

Wow, back to back afc championship games was merely luck. I suppose 3 superbowl championships were merely luck as well. Do you people listen to yourselves when you think these thoughts or is it just like a big hollow dong sound when these ideas come out?
