Given that I haven't made that argument, why would I start making it now?
If you're going to try telling me that you don't know who the Patriots gave contracts and extensions to from the end of 2008 through the beginning of this year's free agency, I'm simply going to refer you to Google, Patriots.com, the local papers and the like. You've got to be kidding me with this.
Wow.
Just, wow.
Seymour was traded for a draft pick. He was not traded for a player, cash, or frequent flier miles. The return on the trade is a pick, somewhere from #1-#32, in 2011. It's not in a player. The player gotten is irrelevant. The deal doesn't get better or worse depending upon who's gotten with the pick. The deal will be the same whether they draft the next tom Brady or the next Ryan Leaf.
The irony of you calling my post cheating is very amusing, so thank you for that. However, given the players you assert to be better than Seymour, you'll have to forgive me for not buying into this complete load of crap. It was a lousy deal for the Patriots.
Not a problem.
And the Patriots defense was missing a run stuffing DE and inside pass rushing. Hey, what was it that Seymour provided to the team? Oh, yeah.... run stuffing from the DE position and an inside pass rush.
By no means am I confusing you with someone else. Prior to this past year, you were generally a level headed, objective poster. This season, you decided to go the way of MoLewisRocks and far too many others, who suddenly couldn't handle even the most obvious criticisms of Belichick. You may not have gone down the path as far as some others have, but you've traveled it quite a ways. We've gotten into this before, though, and I'm not going to revisit it.
Yeah, you've been reliably wrong on the issue. Congratulations.
