yes I do...and I realize that Tom is 3 and a half inches taller, rangier and FAR FAR better velocity. Stop rationalizing and LOOK at what a total PROJECT this guy is...then ask yourself, WHY???????????

From a 2000 NFL draft profile:

Tom Brady Positives: Good height to see the field. Very poised and composed. Smart and alert. Can read coverages. Good accuracy and touch. Produces in big spots and in big games. Has some Brian Griese in him and is a gamer. Generally plays within himself. Team leader.

Negatives: Poor build. Very skinny and narrow. Ended the '99 season weighing 195 pounds and still looks like a rail at 211. Looks a little frail and lacks great physical stature and strength. Can get pushed down more easily than you'd like. Lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush. Lacks a really strong arm. Can't drive the ball down the field and does not throw a really tight spiral. System-type player who can get exposed if he must ad-lib and do things on his own.


You can rationalize this any way you like, but it seems foolish to make things up when people on this board know you're talking out of your ass.
 
Given how late this trade is happening, I suspect there was some gamesmanship going on. I hope BB fleeces BOB.

Isnt that what he kind of did picking Garoppolo? :)
 
Could the Pats trade for Ryan Mallett? I'm pretty sure that's the only Mallett trade that hasn't been predicted yet.

Never happen. BB would demand at least a 2nd from BB, but the most BB would offer BB would be a 6th.
 
Isnt that what he kind of did picking Garoppolo? :)
Perhaps. If that is the case, I would suspect that was retaliatory. BB is usually pretty good to his disciples.
 
Is Dri Archer a crazy idea here?
 
Ya key is more of an udfa. Doubt he could replace anyone.
 
dangit the colts snagged moncrief!! i'm hoping for an athletic linebacker now. the TE cupboard is bare and most of the big/athletic WRs are gone unless we draft that kid from Rutgers. ;)
 
Yankey! I hope, I hope....
 
Yawin Smallwood?
 
trade to Jax
 
Panthers select Trai Turner - G (posted on NFL.com)
 
Trade. Not that surprising.
 
Another commercial when the patriots pick
 
On the clock
 
see i told you guys that the bruins game was more exciting.
