Dan Snapp - Media Fixation on "Loyalty" by Belichick and the Patriots

[makoute]

No, the problem is when people think we're 'ragging on someone' when we think the team shouldn't give them huge money.


Deion Branch was good receiver, but not worth $8M/yr. Asante is a good corner, but he freelances too much, and gives up on coverages occasionally. Again, very good, but not something the Patriots felt was worth giving $70M to.

Thats not ragging on a player.

Thinking someone isn't worth a certain amount of money and the team shouldn't pay them, and coming on here and calling a player all sorts of names for holding out or talking about how they want a new contract are two separate things, it seems like you're part of the first group so that's fine, but not everyone on here look at things the way you do.

No, they dont all look at it that way.

The problem is, for every person looking at it the 2nd way, theres a person who thinks the two are the same thing.

"What’s more impressive is that 14 Patriots from the 2001 season were still playing football in 2008, eight of whom were still Patriots. By contrast, the 2008 Rams had four players left from their 2001 roster, the 2008 Colts had six, and the Steelers and Ravens each had four.

Tell me, which team is most loyal?"


^^^^oww, i didnt realize that....maybe we were a bit too loyal, and should have made our turnover faster
