Obvious motivational tactic, Brady is sure to be fired up now instead of resting on his laurels.
Agree completely, it's been a long time since Brady has been the back-up?

On the other hand, if P. Manning were to expose himself, Jim Nantz would stand at attention (double entendre intended) while the US Army Marching Band played the national anthem.
Jimmy G is not even close. Played in Division 11. The learning curve is a double jump in talent. Not saying he won't be good in a few years, but he is 2-3 years away from even knowing. Mallet needs time with the 1's. If the unthinkable happens we need to know what we have in him. If he performs well and a great offer comes our way, we take it and roll the dice. If not we keep Mallet for another year.
I wasn't aware of the field being bad. Well then I wouldn't play Tom either then
There are farms with better fields than that, I've always observed that, then when RG3 was playing totally banged up against Seahawks I had a feeling that that would not end well in that field. Shanaham genious kept him in the game when the best decision would be to put Cousins.
If Mallet is being showcased, then Mayock's pumping of his tires earlier this week may have been a solid for his former NFL Network colleague Michael Lombardi.
ESPN headlines to come "Brady in Decline, Benched for Backup!"
Brady sits and won't expose himself...
Folks, folks, folks. Mallet is not going anywhere this year.
Unless the Pats are looking to free up a roster spot why would they trade Mallett for anything less than a 3rd when they could get a (probable) 3rd compensatory pick next year by keeping him around?
