If that's fading not sure what the other 31 teams in the league are about.
The Patriots will fade when Brady does. It's impossible to tell whether or not that's happening right now, though. He badly missed on some throws down the stretch on Sunday but, with that being said, he also had one of the worst WR corps in the league to work with as well. Get him some weapons to go along with (what will be then) the second year guys and get some pieces on defense and we should be right back there again.
I think Brady is right there with Marino, Montana, and Manning as the greatest ever.
I also think you're wrong. I've never thought of Brady as a great long-ball thrower, and that's been a missing ingredient the last couple of years when the middle of the field (Gronkowski) fell apart.
It's actually an $8 million cap hit. Which unless they redo it there is no way they are taking that hit for their 4th receiving option when they have to pay Decker.
Also they didn't mess up the Welker situation. Welker and his agent thought there would be multiple offers after the Pats offered him their deal. There was only one team who offered him a better deal and it was the Titans. But Welker told the Patriots no, so they moved on. Then Welker had to beg Denver to make that deal which it was a 1 year $6 million deal made to look like a 2 year deal $12 million.
If Welker truly wanted to be here he would have been here.
3/13/2013: Signed a two-year, $12 million contract. The deal is fully guaranteed, including a $4 million signing bonus. Another $150,000 is available through incentives for each year Welker catches 90-plus passes. 2013: $2 million, 2014: $3 million (+ $3 million roster bonus), 2015: Free agent
3 straight AFC championships is fading? I think the writer might be the one who is fading...
I went back and looked at about ten of your posts. Were you born a troll or did you work at becoming one.Shaughnessy: Fading Patriots are lucky Broncos didn't beat them much worse - The Denver Post
Came across this article by Shaughnessy,he made a lot of good points on losing back to back AFC Championship, on Brady running out of time, on this team being vulnerable, and last, the whole Welker situation where it appears that we messed up.
He may not be liked here but it's hard to disagree when we keep losing big games.
I just looked up his contract details and it says the contract is fully guaranteed. I think they mean just the salary portion is guaranteed, not the roster bonus. So I think cutting him would only shave their cap number from $8M down to $5M?
EDIT: I verified from many other sources that his 2014 Salary is NOT guaranteed.

Yep, the 49ers might as well pack it in now too, make way for all those teams that can't string together enough wins to make a title game and therefore are emerging as the future. GMAFB.
The 49ers have made the afc championship game the past three years. With one of those 3 years also making the Super Bowl.

They made the nfc championship game, not afc. And they did take a step down from last year when they actually made the Superbowl so a dope COULD argue that it is the beginnings of a fade.
The point is it's dumb to say it.
