God I love multi-quote... shelter in place heaven...
Stop. Blaming Brady is asinine.
The Patriots had years to give better deals, and Brady had been asking for longer term commitment, only to be rebuffed by the team. The Patriots then had all the offseason to give a better deal. The Patriots chose not to do it.
God, how do I put this? They didn't because,
to the Patriots, at this time...
it did not make sense. Even for another ring (maybe.) And (because Brady didn't want more year-to-year, under market value "disses," I think,) he just weighed it all (Pride? Warm weather? access to S. America? Extra 7 m /year? Offensive WEAPONS? Who knows), and the scales came up light on NE's side.
You know what? May we somehow explode into the post-Brady era for 3 Stidham rings in a row. But failing that... May Tom F'ing Brady make those pirate ship cannons light up the gulf coast skies!
It's a great team and a great quarterback that weren't a match anymore... that's it man.
NE was not an option for Brady
Yeah, sorta true given what NE could offer.
Some people have irrational love for this player..
Free choice is not blame. Florida has better golf at the moment for example. Kids like beaches. You had the guy for 20 years.. time to say bubye... And go visit him in TB.
Right on. May he light up the NFCS, and stop that silly round-robin system with a TB mini-dynasty. May His GOATness be confirmed, right up to losing to NE in the SB.
Please, explain how this is "irrational" as opposed to the attachment that fan bases have for other players.
Ding ding ding. "Fan" is short for what word? Agree.
Not going to happen. It is either 10-6 or so or compete tank job and then grab Lawrence. No tread-milling here and if Stidham sucks in TC the BB will make that decision. I’m sure he would rather go through one terrible season and grab the next big thing QB for the future than just eek into the playoffs and be too good to suck.
I want Stiham to be good just so I can watch every announcer in the league to say "He went to Jarrett" over and over again.
Haha.. DMC.. you're awesome. Hey what if Tom strains a calf muscle week 2 . Season in TB is toast. Big 50m risk on 43 y.o. goes down the massive tubes.
Is this scenario more probable than miracle TB season?
Tom's injury history has been exemplary so far. He just effs up something royally every decade or so... wait, he only did that once so far...
Just kidding. You always hate to see that. I'd love to see him continue to make the league his beeyotch, unless the Pats are involved.
