Yes forever, lifetime contracts all around. We will put a nursing home in Patriots Place and just wheel them over after the games.

You watched his career in St Louis, or guessed how much better he would have been last year without two ripped groin muscles.
I know you think your evaluation is better than Belichicks, I just don't know when you evaluated him.
The best way to end something with me is to answer the question, or address what you said.
I think you are focusing to much on Amendola and this really has nothing to do with him. He is under contract, this is to do with Edelman being allowed to walk one year after Welker. The fact that they replace them is really not something to be impressed by it would by horrifying if they let Welker walk and didn't sign a viable replacement.
It doesn't have anything to do with Amendola.
You made a comment about how Brady and Gisele are pissed and talk about the lack of receiving options that Belichick has brought in, and I just stated why I thought that was wrong based on the 3 big contracts from Gronk, Amendola, and Hernandez.
The 2013 receiving options were poor due to the injuries, the arrest of our TE, and the fact that they had planned to go younger and faster at the position in the draft. I don't think it had anything to do with Belichick misusing the savings from Brady's contract (which you're greatly exaggerating). You claimed that you thought that Tom and Gisele sat around the dinner table complaining about the misuse of savings from his choice to rather see 55 million in guaranteed funds in the last handful of yrs of his career.
Amendola could have caught 200 footballs and the receiving corps would not have been much different in my opinion. The problem is much bigger than Amendola, and letting the Edelman walk is not going to benefit the team in any way shape or form.
What if they pay JE 6 mil a year or whatever and he gets injured like he has 4 out of the last 5 years or whatever it is.

I think my evaluation is better than Belichick? Well since I made mine in hindsight 20/20, yes it is better.
Amendola could have caught 200 footballs and the receiving corps would not have been much different in my opinion. The problem is much bigger than Amendola, and letting the Edelman walk is not going to benefit the team in any way shape or form.
I think if he lets two players that Brady obviously valued leave in back to back years then he is not valuing the things that are important to Brady. If that is not misusing the saving provided by Brady I'm not sure what is.
You guessed what a season he would have had without two torn groin muscles and four missed games.
Since he didn't play 16 games healthy as the starting slot receiver (leaving Edelman a special teamer and occasional receiver) you fantasized what it would have been like.
That's not an evaluation, that's imagination, right?
They haven't let Edelman go. They're in negotiation, from what I've read.
How do you know what's important to Brady?
Amendola could have caught 200 footballs and the receiving corps would not have been much different in my opinion. The problem is much bigger than Amendola, and letting the Edelman walk is not going to benefit the team in any way shape or form.

Do you know what hindsight 20/20 is? You should relax take your hands off the keyboard for a second and recompose yourself. Right now you are so caught up in trying to quote everything I post with a dispute you are missing everything I write.
Relax buddy...
I'm not suggesting anything about Danny Amendola aside from the fact that it proves that they were willing to spend money at the position. That seems to be what your beef is--the suggestion that they don't want to surround Brady with talent, or spend on the position from his savings.
Why? Our problem is on the outside, not in the slot.
Our obvious weakness has been in an outside, stretch the field, physical-type receiver.
How does keeping Julian Edelman help Brady and solve the problem if it prohibits the team from upgrading the outside receiving options, which is what the problem obviously is?
You're acting like Brady wants to be forced to have to throw 3 yard passes to Julian Edelman to be happy. It's quite possible that he knows what the weakness is and wants it addressed as well.
If there's a way to keep Edelman AND address the lack of outside/physical receiver, then I'd hope they can do that, but if Edelman has to go, it's likely because they wanted to help Brady....not hurt him, which is what you're suggesting.
Usually the #1 target on the team is important to the starting QB. I could be wrong maybe Brady really values the dime DB on defense the most.
You're judging our poor 2013 receiving options where Edelman was the #1 target due to horrible circumstances, and trying to suggest that he's suddenly "Brady's top option."
That's ridiculous in my opinion.
I think you're so honed in on last season, that you're failing to take other past or even future seasons into account.
The Wes Welker situation was completely different, since Welker and Brady had been on the same page for years and years.
Yes, what this forum really needed was another Edelman thread. Certain posters on this forum seriously need to realize that they don't need to make a new post every other day just for the hell of it. If you don't have a source or an opinion that hasn't already been beaten into the ground, then there's literally no reason to make a new thread. Just post on one of the other dozen Edelman/Amendola threads you've already created in the past two months. They should all be merged into a mega-thread anyway, as it is.
If Brady was not about to turn 37 years old I wouldn't have nearly the issue with forcing him to find a new security blanket for the second straight season. Given that he is not a young man anymore and we should try and build some consistency around him at this juncture of his career.
