But should the Patriots have matched the reported 5 year $13.5M ($4.5M in 2006 w/ the bonus) for Tom Ashworth!
I am undecided, but am interested in what you all think.
So ? Lots of Patriots do, that doesn't make them worth millions. Don Davis for example ?Digger44 said:Sure, why not. He has rings.

But...after the Denver game I realized I was one of the very few on this board who watched the line on the Bailey INT replay. I'm telling you, Tom Ashworth turned around our entire season...for the worse. Yeah, he might be a great guy, but the fact is, I'm not looking to make any friends. This is a sport, a past time, I don't live and die with it. When a player effs up royally, then I'm going to mention it. If I knew the man personally, of course I'd forgive him (unless I were Tom Brady). But I'm a fan. I get to say things like this.
Just do me a favor. Get a hold of a replay of that play and watch Ashworth closely. I kid you not when I say you could have done a better job. If you were in their for Ashworth, the Patriots would have won the Super Bowl.
