[festy1986]

Please link one quote from him where he said he blames the weapons.

Rather than just looking at the Brady interview, I'd like to point to something from Kraft:



https://nypost.com/2020/01/06/robert-krafts-nightmare-tom-brady-scenario-very-much-in-play/


So, if Kraft is being honest, and not just playing to the media, there should be no problem here. Pay Brady what he wants, for how long he wants, bring in the kind of offensive players that can help him win, stop ditching guys because you don't like what they texted, and "let's go".

And then you wake up from your wet dream and remember that the salary cap is still a thing in the NFL.

There's a big difference between "load up on top players for Brady's sake" and what Brady had to work with in the passing game this year.

S0, aside from retaining Brown, what would you have done differently than BB?

 

[Patsgofor4]

Brady is absolutely getting paid.

Again he'll arguably be the most valuable FA in the history of the league. The GOAT QB. Fans are spoiled beyond belief here. 25 other teams would do w/e it took to get him in there. Esp ones that are ready to roll. LAC, Chi, Tenn etc.

Highest profile, yes. Most valuable, at 44? Lol.

43. He’s gonna be 43

QB is the most valuable position in the game by miles. You have one, you have a shot. You don't, you're going nowhere.

Please name me a better QB to ever hit FA?

Drew Brees? Was much younger. Im not sure how free agency will play out for TB, hope he stays here for a reasonable contract and they can get him weapons.

At the time Brees was very good but not anywhere near the guy we've seen the past few years imo.
Brady won a SB LAST YEAR. The prior 2 years put up abt 9000/60 TD & less than 20 INT I believe.

If Brees were a FA rn, along with Brady. Then I could see a legit argument, although I'd still say 12 is better.

And people called me crazy back in October when I said Kraft cutting AB may be the straw that finally breaks the camel’s back for Brady.....

Looks like my takes just keep getting more and more realistic...

The team has the cap money. Thanks for posting, though. Good effort!

I remember when people would say things like "You'll be in cap hell".

 

[Biffins]

Any GM who gave a 43 year old QB 35 million should be fired on the spot.

Really? For 1 year? Doubt it.

Prior to Brady it was unequivocally Peyton. So the comparison is between Peyton and Brady. The result might change by how you define the parameters.

You could say that Brady this year was better than Peyton's year before FA where he was injured the full year (Brady wins by default). Or you could compare Brady this year to Peyton's 2010 year (Peyton probably wins). Regardless, after signing as an FA, Peyton had what at the time was the best statistical season by a QB ever, which I'm guessing Brady won't touch regardless of where he ends up.

So I'm gonna say that Peyton was a 'better QB to hit FA' than Brady coming off this season. Hope I'm wrong and that he comes back to the Pats and performs better than he did this year (injuries and all).

That doesn't mean you're not crazy though.

Brown would have been suspended by Goodel the minute we reactivated him and even if he only had to miss 4 or 5 or 6 games chances are hight that he would have done soemting else stupid enough to start the process all over again. Don't you get it? The idiot isn't employable. Even as talented as he is he isnt worth it. Top mych headache and distraction

 

[SVN]

Pats also have a Cap hit of 13m if he leaves or 6.5 + whatever cap he signs for if he stays. That must be a factor too.

 

[Deus Irae]

No. The issue hasn't been suspension. The issue has been the exempt list.


In other words, the issue has been with yet another part of the CBA that the players have screwed up in granting to the NFL.

Fair enough, not bad at all although I'd disagree. I feel like Brady is still the better player at this stage. Peyton walked into a dream situation & fell off a cliff right after. He already missed an entire year. Brady was in a nightmare situation this year & isn't close to as fragile as Manning was at the time.

Give him those weapons & he'll perform the #'s will be very comparable.

Props for the good post & response.

BB is a mastermind coach, but average at best GM.

Dude, you have six Super Bowl logos in your signature just below where you conclude this.

I mean go ahead a call out his ability to scout skill players, particularly wide receivers, but you don't build the greatest winning decade ever and then follow it up by an even better decade, by being an "average at best GM." Bill is probably the best coach ever when it comes to strategy and gameplannning; but he is obviously and measurably the best GM ever. That's not even debatable. Of course there's going to be plenty of misses, but to have the same amount of money as every other team, draft in the lowest position, and continually restock your roster when SB winning players leave for more money year after year? Football risk:reward economics: that's the truly incredible part about the dynasty and the edge they have over everyone else. Do you know what degree Belichick has?
