Yeah, you act like Tom Brady is just going to vanish into thin air. If we get a Cutler-like package than we can DRAFT his replacement. The Raiders pick in 2011 is the most obvious one. Imagine the Patriots with a Joe Flacco or Matt Stafford or Matt Ryan.
The reason this comes up is because...
Do you people realize that Tom Brady is a FREE AGENT after the 2010 season? He may be gone even if the Patriots DO want him back. That's the reason this came up, not because he's not great anymore. NOBODY is saying "Trade the bastard! He sucks!" We're just looking at the Eli Manning/Phillip...
The real question is finding his replacement. If Montana could be replaced by Young, than Brady can be replaced by someone else. It's both REAL and POSSIBLE. Deal with it.
Why is everyone so shocked at the suggestion of trading Brady? Seriously, he's just one man. The success of Cassel proves that more than one man can throw passes for the Patriots, and probably for less than the $20m it will take to sign Brady.
I don't look at Brady and see memories of Super...
Last time this happened the Patriots won three Super Bowls. Unlikely to happen again, but I am not panicked. Belichick has been through this before, with Phil Simms in 1990 and Drew Bledsoe in 2001. In each situation the backup led the team to a league championship. For all we know Cassel could...
Unlike the Brett Favre signing, I don't see this as an act of desperation. This is a smart move, trying to find undervalued players. If Brankins becomes even a #3 receiver it would be a big success.
What are you talking about? If they're the only two teams left they have to play. You must mean they can't meet in the Divisional Round, but even that isn't true if the other wild card also upsets.
Noob, you need to have a balanced number of wins and losses. You've made the novice mistake of handing out too many victories. As it stands, there are 259 W's in your league and only 253 L's. They both need to add up to 256.
Last year someone actually argued that they didn't need to balance...
This man is an idiot. He says there is a "remote" chance Aaron Rodgers starts in September. It is pretty obvious the open quarterback competition is just leverage for the trade that is inevitably coming. Everyone gets that except this blabbering idiot. He actually thinks Favre is going to be...
Flying Elvis is a much cheaper image to reproduce than Pat Patriot. End of story.
I liked the old uniforms because they prominently featured the color red. My theory is that the Giants upset Dallas, Green Bay, and New England because they were wearing red.
In Sports, Red Is Winning Color...
Everything that JMarr said is correct.
Special teams may be a third of the game, but this is not a three-platoon league. There are two platoons and some specialists. You would never keep a non-specialist who just plays special teams. Otherwise you would have positions like "Gunner" on the...
An excerpt from the Breaking Down Belichick article. The reference to the Dawg Pound and the tearful Packer fans are hilarious. Also illustrates the sense of frustration and powerlessness that opposing fans have when facing Belichick and the Patriots.
I think the Patriots are trying to develop Williams into a full-time LB/DB hybrid to be deployed against fast, versatile tight ends. Belichick and Pioli probably signed Tank explicitly for this purpose. This isn't positional cross-training, it's a specialized job he is being trained to do...
Mangini will land on his feet as the defensive coordinator in Cleveland under Romeo Crennel. Belichick will likely disapprove and Crennel is his ally, but they are also competitors as head coaches. RAC isn't a fool, he knows that Mangini knows how to run the 3-4 defense.
