Wait a minute. Is there REALLY a "trade seymour" crowd? In all seriousness?
Really. Patsox23, is there a "trade Seymour" crowd?

I think there is a contingency that feel that Seymour has become too injury prone.
Genuine question - are you guys kidding? This has been a fairly consistent topic on a couple of threads for a few weeks now. The theory goes like this:
1) The Pats D with Jarvis Green has been terrific.
2) Seymour hasn't been the same since signing his big deal.
3) Seymour is dogging it.
4) Warren surpassed him last year.
5) Let's trade Seymour for a 2nd and a 4th.
No joke. People SERIOUSLY believe this. And clearly they - or someone who shares their delusion - believes it because now people are e-mailing Dale and Holley and asking them about it. They have a special audio-clip they play to smack down those e-mails and Bruschi laughed at the idea. Didn't even address the issue because it was so absurd. Idiots.

I do have to wonder if the Pats would have stopped the rushing offense of dallas if seymour was in. As has always been stated seymour is better at stopping the run.
time will tell tho.
you keep seymour.
That's not entirely true. These geniuses think Seymour is, like Maroney, too injury "PRONED."
I'll bite.
Maroney has been pretty injury prone so far.
His injuries have outweighed any productivity he's had in his short career. That's a fact.
Seymour, though somewhat prone to injury has been HUGELY productive when healthy and easily one of the top 2-3 players at his position.
The two players can't even be compared.
Maroney isn't a top 20 player at his position right now. Can he be? Sure...the talent is there.
He needs to protect himself from the injury bug, stop dancing around the line of scrimmage and AVOID some contact now and then.
I think there is a contingency that feel that Seymour has become too injury prone. Personally, he is such a force that he makes everyone around him so much better because teams scheme to stop him.
I wouldn't mind after the season to dangle Jarvis Green and see if we can get a high first day pick for him.
Let me echo this and add to it. "YOU KEEP SEYMOUR AND YOU NEVER EVER ENTERTAIN THIS RIDICULOUS IDEA AGAIN." Seymour is arguably our ONLY (defensive) Hall of Famer from the entire Super Bowl run. He is a force to be reckoned with. He is the ONE guy on D that other teams actually have to gameplan for - and do so consistently. Like...EVERY TIME THEY PLAY US.
