How was the schedule last year when they went 11-5 without Brady?
Neither player got injured last year when they went 11-5 without Brady. The cushion player was Meriweather, since Rodney and Sanders were the starters. There's not a Meriweather ready to fill in if someone goes down right now.
Rodney was out 10 of the games.
I'll take Chung and MacGowan anyday over whoever was backing up Meriweather and Sanders down the stretch.
I'll also take a Brady "coming off an injury" over Matt Cassel.
I'll take our secondary (though still not great) over what we had last year.
I'll take our OL's depth over last year's.
I'll take our RB's over last year.
I'll take our WR depth over last year.
I'll take our ST's over last year.
I'll take our TE's over last year.
I think losing Vrabel will hurt. I think losing Seymour will hurt (though not as much in the long-term as letting him walk with only a 3rd rounder in 2010).
I disagree with Clayton's prediction, but I certainly believe he's entitled to his opinion. Predictions are relatively worthless anyhow.
