I have said it over and over, I am 100% PATS fan and have been so longer than 95% of the people on this board. Posters like to paint other people into a corner when they do not agree with what is said.
I want the PATS to do well, at the same time I give the Jets FO props for turning that franchise around quickly and bringing in a hell of a lot of talent in a short time. I think their agressive approach is a good one and I remain skeptical that the Patriots passive approach this offseason will pay dividends.
I think it is disappointing that another year of Brady's prime could be wasted while the team depends 100% on rookies to fill glaring areas of need.
An example of FO poor performance is last year..getting boxed into a corner and having to trade a 3rd and a 5th at the last moment for an overvalued Derrick Burgess. This happened because the PATS were not proactive and suddenly were desperate to fill a need. They badly overpaid for Burgess as a result.
Think the team could not use that 3rd and 5th in this years draft.
Bottom line is I don't care if people call me a Jets fan or don't like my opinions. I have been there with the PATS since the Joe Kapp days, since they played at Harvard stadium, for Jim Nance, ... Gino Cappalettti, Sam Bam Cunningham, Daryl Stingley, Hog Hannah
I saw them play in Fenway Park...lived through the Rod Rust and Billy Sullivan years.
