For example, last week, I spent a lot of energy thinking about it. You look at the end of the week, it really wasted a lot of my time and a lot of my energy. It was a big mental drain and I think it affected the way I played. I just didn’t feel like I brought as much to the table as I normally could. That’s why I’m excited about this week – hey, I learned a good lesson, I’m going to go out there and try to do the best I can do.”

Tom Brady said:“The more guys we can have out there healthy, the better it’s going to be. So the more guys that are out there who are able to contribute, especially those two guys – who can really do some things for this offense – yeah. When I look at last week’s game, we didn’t perform as well in the passing game as we would have liked, and there were a lot of factors that went into it. Certainly, it starts with me. I have to play better. I have to make better reads and better decisions and throw the ball more accurately. I think it will show up a lot better if I do those things better than I did last week.â€
No way. He should have said :mgcolby said:Does this statement make him a leader?

I believe he did double duty up to and even into camp believing he was keeping his #1 on point for his return. And I believe he got dragged into the drama a little - someone was telling the FO that this kid wanted to come home and his agent was just not facilitating it. There were reports yesterday that the so-called contact between BB and Branch may have even been instigated by Branch who was apparently sending everybody mixed messages. I think by last week Branch was really on the verge of cracking, and the FO took their best shot at facilitating a break between Deion and Chayut. The JETS bailed Chayut out on that one - he just needed to show his player there was any interest even it was BS in order to maintain control over him. And then the union sent in reinforcements to do their greater good grievance number on Deion. Kid didn't get that much attention when he won his MVP (which Brady deserved). And the JETS got Seattle thinking which represented the only team that was really willing to overpay for him. But one is all it takes.
At that point Deion was unsalvageable and given what dealing with him was taking out of Brady emotionally alone it was definitely worth more to cut ties for a #1 than drag this out for potentially several weeks of production at the end of the season. By then Branch probably would not have been capable of much production given the stress this was obviously exerting on him just through week 1.
I think Brady wants to believe the best of everyone. But he is really coming to understand that at the end of the day it is him and Belioli and the Krafts who are in it for the long haul. Some may join them, some may leave, but they represent the core franchise. And they are the ones who refuse to waver. Bend but don't break. You are either all in or you're out. None of this I want to be one of you just I want top dollar too. Not the way it works. I think in future he will spend time insuring the guys he invests his effort in developing that rapore with on the offensive side of the ball understand that is part of the quid pro quo.
