Edit: Whoops, post to a wrong thread
I mean I'm not trying to bash the article or anything, I'm sure it is. I've just heard far more than enough talk about what went down in the Mankins situation than I've needed to. And many of these threads that start as an article tend to turn into these type of discussions I am talking about.
Interesting his family is still up here. They must like it.

The problem with these types of stories is that you will never know the other side... unless BB or his inner circle writes a book a few years from now...
What I do know is that this O line, as much as it has been aligned, that in '13 Brady was sacked 40 times and this year he was sacked 26 times.. is it because Mankins is gone, the maturation of the line, new talent or coaching???
Since you like to throw out the sack totals and claim it might be a result of the loss of Mankins, here's one for you;
2014 - 3.9/107.9
2013 - 4.4/129.1
Those are the Pats rushing numbers per carry/per game for the last two years... "is it because Mankins is gone, the maturation of the line, new talent or coaching???"
Fair enough, but you cannot blame me for growing tired of seeing thread titles with the term "Mankins trade" inside of them seemingly every week months later. Surely you can relate, OTG?

You and Deus must have some sort of Mankins Fan club meeting
Mankins was a good player but he wasn't anywhere close to worth what his contract was, he acted like a ***** a few years ago to get a larger contract, and it bit him in the ass.
How is it not the way we were told? Although I don't remember anyone 'telling' anyone anything. I remember -speculation-, which isn't the same thing. But in any event, being willing to 'rework' your contract doesn't really mean anything if you aren't willing to actually have your pay be brought in line with your current value.Skip this thread if it bothers you so much.
The truth is the only Mankins comments I've seen lately were shots being taken at the guy. Anyone (like myself) who was against the trade was pretty much told to shut up about it from the start.
And now we're finding out that it didn't come down the way the fans were led to believe at the time and another of Belichick's elves is upset because some of us want to hear about it. What a shocker.
I'm leaving it alone now and already settled what I felt earlier in this thread. With all due respect there is no use for you to continue calling me out on this any further.You know there is an ignore feature and you really don't have to click on an thread.
This is a new article in which Mankins talks a bit about the situation. So it is worthy of a new thread. Some people will be interested in reading and commenting, others won't. Just move on if you are one of those not interested.
Leave it to Ian and the moderators to decide what is or isn't thread worthy. Thanks
The Pats lost their starting RB for 10 games this year and this is your argument?
