100%. 70%. 99%. 90%.

Those are the numbers.

100% of other teams had at least 5 chances each to draft Brady.
70% of Patriots fans wanted Bledsoe to stay after Brady won the Super Bowl.
99% of the fans and media did not want Moss on the Patriots nor thought it would work out.
90% of the media considered that the Patriots should be punished harder, lose their rings, lose the coach, lose both first draft picks, have astericks on their previous wins, have a loss against the Jets, or something else.

This is not luck. This is a lot of hard, hard work. Even beyond what most teams ever prepare to deal with, or want to.

This team will be remembered forever, no matter what they do from here on in. Either this will be the biggest choke job, or they will win it all. This team will not be forgotten.

I think your 2nd and 3rd set of numbers are off.. I think its closer to 30% of the fans wanted Bledsoe to stay and probably a 50-50 split on Moss.

I will admit that I was afraid of the Pats getting Moss, but he's made a believer out of me. It simply amazing how easy he makes everything look..

Not that I don't appreciate what Bledsoe did for this franchise. He was a great First QB for the rebirth of this orginization. But his time was done, I didn't want him playing in the super bowl and I didn't want him playing in 2002.

Not sure about 99% of fans on the moss thing. Me and my friends were very excited about Moss coming here.

Nobody could have ever predicted Brady becoming what he has become.

I disagree with your percentages of people wanting Bledsoe to stay. Unless you are talking about him staying as a backup.

I was part of the 1% on Moss.

Those are the numbers.

Why are they the numbers ? You just pulled them out of your ass. I guarantee you 70% did NOT want Bledsoe over Brady in 2002. Most were thrilled when we traded him for a #1.
