That is simply amazing to me.

BB doesn't rebuild... He reloads!!!:rocker:
I think O'Connell will be the number 2 QB in 09.
I already feel better with him in there over Cassell.
FO drafted this guy in the third round when it seemed to me
they could have used another O lineman or TE but they
took O'Connell when they already have two back up qb's on the roster.
They must see a lot in this guy and we're starting to see it too.
I never worried he would be cut though others would differ.
yes...same time Neal is ready to play...and I was listening to BStearns...BS....and he was saying that Neal has a shoulger injury and it may be career ending and??? WTF???? A bit before the 3rd game,,,I heard SOME report on on of the local Boston channels..saying Neal was almost ready...huh???Does anyone know if Oliver Ross is eligible to play this year?
Now, see, I would difer with you. O'Connell was drafted because he was, in the eyes of the Patriots FO, the best athlete available when their turn came up. Coach has said over and over again that the emphasis is on picking the best available athlete over the needs of the team when the turn comes up. It doesn't mean that occasionally they will vary and actually pick an athlete that they have a need for, but in their minds, overall skills and athleticism trump the kid's position.
Respects,
I can't believe that Cassel is still around. BB really knows how to piss off fans.
The guy didn't score a TD in 4 games. It's really shocking.
This has been a continuous discussion time and again. The Patriots do not draft by BPA. They do not draft based on need. They draft by VALUE. Which is a combination of BPA and NEED. That is how they have done their draft board for years. Belichick has never said they take the best available athelete regardless of need.
