For me, it's slightly behind Moss in 2007 and slightly ahead of Dillon in 2004. It's been so long since this team has had a true, shut down #1 corner that the anticipation is at crazy levels. Moss wins out because that was the first time that Brady was given a legitimate GOAT canidate to throw to at pretty much every level of the field.
I left Rodney Harrison off the list because the signing was relatively quiet. I don't think many people saw him as more than a solid veteran player when he came here. He would rank in the top 3 if we were talking about the best free agent pickups, but this is a list of the most hyped, for better or worse.
Yeah, I'd have to say that this pretty much sums it up for me.For me, it's slightly behind Moss in 2007 and slightly ahead of Dillon in 2004.

Yeah. It splashed and fizzled really quickly. I think it's probably because it always seems like no matter what moves they make, good or bad, the Patriots are right there in the end. They're always in the AFCCG. They're always in the hunt. Whether it's Chad Ochowhatever or Haynesworth or Moss or Dillon, they thrive. Covering the Patriots must seem so routine and mundane to the national media. There's no intrigue unless there's scandal (i.e. Hernandez, Sygate, etc).If we based this on national sports media coverage Revis probably wouldn't even crack the top 3 of most hype Pats pick ups. That's how much for whatever reason it hasn't really been hyped by the national media.
But yet according to them DeMarcus Ware was the defensive prize in FA.
Hmmm wonder why that is.
YUP. We're pretty much in agreement from different angles. There's no buzz with the Pats. They're mundane. They work in unison. They choose to be introduced as a team. They just don't abide by the status quo world of divas and "have it my way" starts. They just do things the right way . . . like the Spurs.lol Even after they won the championship, the media was talking nothing but Miami Heat and Lebron.Media has no credibility. Anyone who takes their criticism to heart or their praise to their heads is doing it wrong. Being realistic or credible isn't a good ratings driver, which is why it'll focus so much time on trolling Tony Romo, Tebowmania, QB competitions between the likes of Geno Smith and Mark Sanchez.
BSPN and the NFL Network are by and large `The View` or Maury Pauvich for day time television watching sports fans.
What creates a bigger buzz? Evaluating Brady's all time greatness or saying he's over rated and no longer a top 5 quarterback?
Trash television sells. It's just the unfortunate reality of our culture.
It's TMZ.
If Revis was telling reporters "I'M COMING FOR THE JETS! GONNA' THUMP THOSE BOYS!" then he would be all over the net works and it would be 24/7 Patriot coverage, and the Revis hype train would be firing on all cylinders. They need pro football to be pro wrestling in the off season or else they'd have a hard time existing.
