Brady and other offensive starters are removed late in a one-sided loss - Media: "Why pull them so soon?"
Brady is removed from the game in the late 3rd quarter/early 4th quarter of a one-sided win - Media: "Why leave him in so long?"
Brady and the offensive starters play in one series of the 3rd quarter against the Titans this year - Media: "Why play him in the 2nd half? "
It seems that any move the Patriots make will meet with criticism from a portion of the media. After the Seymour trade, Belichick was chided for not being loyal. Right around the same time, the Vikings cut (not traded) Bobby Wade shortly after he agreed to take a pay cut. Guess who was referred to as a ruthless, disloyal, jerk?
This has gone beyond "Belichick broke the rules in 2007 and I felt strongly about it" and entered the realm of Britney Spears/Jon & Kate/Octo-Mom obsession. King and his cronies paparazzi when it comes to this franchise.
The only silver lining of an eventual decline by the Patriots (hopefully, at least a decade away) is that these people will move on to criticize every facet of another team and we can just concentrate on football.
