I remember seeing a presentation a couple of years that Curtis Martin was part of and during the interview with him he was asked why he did so well against the Pats, or did so well in general and his response was terrific. He said that he wanted to show the Pats what they could have had.
So then I waited in vain for the obvious follow up question to that which never came.
"What could YOU have had if you had stayed with the Pats? You could have had three Suerbowl rings."
But how do you know, history would have stayed on the same path? I would be willing to bet that the Pats do not go into a decline in 98 and 99 and Carroll being fired after a 8-8 season in 99. Also the Jets in 98 probably do not go 12-4 without Martin.
