    Help finding a quote?

    I feel like I remember hearing that as well. Are you sure it wasn't on one of the networks during the draft?

    You know I'd never seen this infamous tuck rule that happened between the Pats-Jets earlier in that season and I've often wondered how many Pats fans even remembered it. It's at the 1:49 mark of this video and isn't even close to the same thing: YouTube - ‪The Tuck Rule‬‏

    Player performance at the college level is a big factor, but not the only factor. Look at Nate Solder. BB didn't draft him in the first round because of what he's already done...that's for sure. He sees a big athletic kid that he thinks he can coach into a top-notch OT. In fact, he was probably...

    Hahaha.....Nope. You want to know why I came here? I found this: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/13/228783-heres-mock-you-may-like.html So if you don't like it, don't read it. I came here to have some spirited draft debate with some smart Pats fans. And that's...

    I would have been crazy to have Veldheer in my top-100? I don't recall seeing ANY top-100 ranking last year that didn't include Veldheer. He and Vollmer have similar height/weight/speed/athleticism. The key factor that made them comparable was that they were both very raw with tremendously high...

    Yea you could be right. He hasn't been bad. I actually never thought he would be a "bust" per se, but he was talked about as the best player in that draft class at the time. I thought his numbers were inflated at Texas Tech (although I realize Maclin played in the spread as well). I didn't think...

    I gave Veldheer a 2nd round grade just like I gave Vollmer. I don't archive our previous top-100 boards on the site (although I guess I should). Like I said, you can check The Huddle Report's top-100 rankings if you want. We finish close to the top of the list every year. I thought Oakland's...

    My earlier point was that he is a better drafter than people give him credit for. His coaching decisions have cost the team dearly.

    Huh? I said that the Tuck Rule was the turning point for both organizations. It was. It doesn't matter who's at fault. It was the turning point for both organizations. Trading Gruden away was a huge mistake (although 2 1sts and 2 2nds didn't seem like that bad of a haul at the time). Kraft...

    Gruden was traded to Tampa BECAUSE OF the Tuck Rule game. If he wins that game, he never leaves Oakland. The Raiders were still on course for a significant dropoff because of the age of their team. But, they wouldn't have run into Gruden in the Super Bowl the following year. The Tuck Rule was...

    Ok. You didn't make the playoffs with Matt Cassell. It's a QB-driven league and your team never won a Super Bowl before Brady came along. The QB has a HUGE impact on the overall success of the team (especially when he's one of the two top QBs in NFL history). That wasn't the correct call...

    Stevan Ridley

    Really? What part of that is inaccurate? Where were the Patriots before Brady got there?

    Stevan Ridley

    Those are two HUGE assumptions??????????

    Stevan Ridley

    Why did they lose the Super Bowl the following year?
  19. N

    Stevan Ridley

    Right. Well let's be honest. The difference between the two teams is one had the best QB in NFL history fall out of the sky and the other drafted the biggest bust in NFL history (even though nobody...including me...had a problem with that pick at the time). And........of course...........a...

    Ok....Jared Veldheer? He was pretty much the 2010 version of Vollmer.
