Easterbrook: The Pats' system seems more important than Brady
 

This guy's a regular Sherlock Holmes, eh?

ESPN Page 2 - Easterbrook: Temporary hero

Apparently mutual exclusions are the only way to divine the truth at BSPN. Obviously, both Cassel and Brady were evaluated to be better quarterbacks than most expected and coached into impressive specimens of the "complete QB" (mental toughness, amnesia, decision-making, accuracy, etc...)



Clearly the system is a big factor and requires the right QB's for the job. We all knew the way this year ended would leave a shadow over Tom or Bill for the media.

It will be good next year to see the Patriots utterly terrorize the league, fresh off a Lombardi run with a High School QB. There will be no crow left on the earth to eat.

What he's missing is that Brady helped create the system. This team, this system, the Patriots offense, was in horrible state before Mo Lewis ushered in the Brady era. The "system" before Brady was 5-13. Since then it's got 3 SBs, 4 AFC championships, and a perfect regular season.


That and the fact that the team has gone from perfection to fighting to make the playoffs. But I wouldn't expect Easterbrook to get that, he's obviously shown in the past he has no love for Brady.

It is a proven fact that reading Gregg Easterbrook's columns causes brain damage. Who really cares what this moron thinks? He is a racist, perverted failed political analyst who writes a rambling weekly article with conspiracy theories and T&A, but not much substance.

Always follow this rule: ESPN Page 2 writers are an assembly of hacks, nutjobs, and Bill Simmons (who hates to be associated with his cohorts).

come on 5 and 13 was when he was cleaning up bobby griers mess and transitioning his players he coulnt come in and wave a wand over horse crap and make filet migon lets get real

BSPN and their mutual exclusivity!

Geez!

A great QB is made better by a coach that creates a system that maximizes that players effectiveness.

The two kind of go hand in hand...

Earlier in the season, he argued that the Pats success was all about Brady, and that Brady's injury exposed Belichick as being a bad coach.

One funny thing about Easterbrook is that I was reading a blog about academia the other day, and even outside the sports world Easterbrook is considered a hack. Read this:
This writer was attacking Paglia, and the first thing that came to his mind when he was trying to compare her to another horribly ridiculous hack was Easterbrook.

We all knew this was coming. In away I hope Brady is hearing alot of people have givin up on him or think he was never that good. Anybody in this system with Moss can throw for 50 tds.:disagreement:

Yeah, it's hard to imagine that next year won't involve RELENTLESS running up of the score. :D

Re: Easterbrook: The Pat's System Seems More Important Than Brady
 

Yep Pats system seems more important than Tom Brady...That's why over the next two years he's on the Books for almost $25Mill not counting this year.:rolleyes: I say lets cut our losses now and go with Matt Cassel he's younger and might be more inclined to a cap friendly deal.:snob: Where do some of these writers get off?:disagreement:
