Is there anybody who still says Sully won't make this team or that it was a bad trade? Imo, it was a good trade, and Sully will do very well here.

But only in the past few weeks has it seemed that way.
For the longer term, Sully seems to lack two of Belichick's prerequisites:
consistency ... and football being the most important thing in your life.
Bethel, for all his quirks, also would be lookin good about now ... had no trade been made.

Sullivan was part of a crappy defense in New Orleans.
He will automatically be better on the Pats just because he will be surrounded by better players. This is before you take everything else into account.
Also he went to college with Seymour, who is hopefully helping him out and motivating him.
It's nice to hear that he seems to be getting his priorities straight and from what i've read, Bellichik seems impressed with him lately.
He hoefully will continue to work hard and ressurect his career. He got traded to a championship team, this is his big chance. He just has to do it.
Whatever that Bethel ever offered this team could be easily replaced. The only play I saw of his that i was ever really impressed was the Colts pre-halftime kickoff return TD.

The WBCN call of "A LEAPING, Diving Catch" still rings in my head. Just an awesome play.
Bethel had about 10 plays worth remembering in 3 yrs.
His TD catch against the Titans in the Pats first round play off game in '03 was the play of the game IMO. He just blew past the Titan's secondary on a deep post. Gave us the early lead which really helped set the tone.
I wish him the best, but I am not really going to miss him.
