Actually I thought you were saying the Pats screwed up, not that Chayut was brilliant. Feel free to post a link to remind me.Bobs My Uncle said:For those who questioned those of us who were saying that Chayut was doing a brilliant job of representing his client ...... you were wrong.
That matches previous reports on the package, at this point my interest is focused in how many games Seattle can put in the loss column.desi-patsfan said:I didnt read thru all the posts but..
i saw this on a seattle website...is this correct?
The Seahawks fashioned a contract agreement with Branch before the season, agreeing to a six-year, $39 million deal that would have paid him $13 million in combined bonuses and about $23 million in the first three years of the contract.

Come off it. Leion may not be as talented as T.O. but he also doesn't have a history of destroying teams.scott99 said:wow....we got more for Deion than SG got for T.O.
BB & Pioli are geniuses.

No, they took a step backward in 2002. No one is saying it is mistake proof. What you are saying it that it is impoosible to stay competitive year after year and that losses will eventually catch up, and that is what people are disagreeing with.feelthepain said:So Basically, the Pats will never take a step backwards and will do things that the Cowboys, Steelers and 49ers have never been able to do which is maintaine a championship level, because your front office is not capapble of making a mistake and will always, no matter the situation come out on top of every deal?!?!?!
Should have studied in school. Law of averages do not accumlate and "catch up." If you filp a penny one hundred times and it comes out heads every time, the law of averages does NOT say it is due to come out tails. If you flip one hundred heads in a row, the odds of flipping a head on the 101th flip is 50-50, one chance out of two. The odds of flipping a head is always 50-50. Doesn't matter what happened before.feelthepain said:the loses have to take their toll eventually, it's the law of averages!!!

Huh??? Who said the first offer WAS the final offer?? When a player does NOT want to be here and REFUESES to negotiate..what does a team do??the taildragger said:Lesson #1: The first offer should not be the final offer!!! This is not rocket science.

I somehow find it difficult to believe that just becuse the system the Pats use has been a strong one, it's mistake proof. I find it hard to believe that the only two people needed to maintain a SB caliber team is BB and Tom Brady. I think it's been quite a run for the Pats and they have proven to make some great strides given the loses they've sustained over the last 5 seasons, however luck has played more then a little roll in your success and while the strength of your front office is obvious, it's not the only reason for the success.
There comes a point where the ball doesn't bounce your way anymore and players don't step up. Is that this year??? Who knows, but the loses have to take their toll eventually, it's the law of averages!!! Branch was your SB MVP in 04 and there is a reason he was the SB MVP!! Sure Brady throws the ball, but Brdy doesn't run the route, catch the ball or get the YAC yards!! You Pat fans love to give Brady credit, but he doesn't do everything. You can throw the ball perfectly as a QB but you can't make the WR avoid tackles or jams at the LOS. I know Pat fans have grown accustom to winning no matter who is on the field, but to stay on top forever just isn't gonna happen.
