Danny Woodhead on SB46

[ctpatsfan77]

This is an interesting take.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Glad the Pats moved on from him.

He will forever be known as Danny Woodcock.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Woodhead was a gamer loved his game.

 

[IndianPat]

We are on to Cincinnati.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Guy was the ultimate underdog. Small school undersized and still became a productive NFL player. The fact that we showcased how he should be used when the jets couldn’t made it even better.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Good for him. Nothing wrong with guys that live and breathe it. Nothing wrong with guys that separate themselves and leave it at the office.

 

[luuked]

This is an interesting take.

Should give perspective to some fans that continue to lament past losses.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

I mean it is the right mentality to compartmentalize and move forward to the next game or season or life post-career. The best always had composure even after a bad memory



.

 

[Pape]

His life wouldn't have changed, maybe.

Mine would have though. That following monday would have been full of smiles and gloating, instead it's was another heaping humble pie ala Eli... he's a selfish bastard innit he? Only think about himself and not about me.

[Nikolai]

This doesn't surprise me a lot. He was always a super down to earth guy. I remember reading the article about how he used an old trophy as a seat in his dorm room when playing video games.

 

[signbabybrady]

I don't believe him.

 

[The Brandon Five]

Glad the Pats moved on from him.

He will forever be known as Danny Woodcock.

If they won he might have been MVP.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

If they won he might have been MVP.

as crazy as it sounds could have been hernandez too. They each had a td and key 3rd down catches on our last drive that should have sealed the game.

 

[farn]

I don't believe him.

I agree. While I’m sure there is truth to what he says (his life isn’t much different) he would have the ring and the reminder of a SB victory. Yes « his day to day » life isn’t impacted that much, but it seems bizarre that if you spend that much time and effort - even if it’s work - you always want to achieve the ultimate goal. In this case, being SB champs.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Loved that Patriot right there. Looked like he and Rivers were off to a great start until Danny got injured. It was all downhill from there. I wish him well, seems like the kind of player that moves on from life after football just fine.

 

[Triumph]

Josh Gordon will give him a good deal on a Super Bowl ring.

Disappointing to hear that from Woodhead of all people.

To this day, Rodney Harrison is haunted by Super Bowl 42. Thats why Rodney is the best Safety that the Patriots have ever had. I recall watching old San Diego Charger games and Rodney and JR Seau were the whole team gaming from start to finish regardless of how crappy the Chargers were and the score.

Great answer!

what's the point of lamenting it now? Even Bill Buckner moved on

sounds like something anyone with some sour grapes would openly say....some people are like that

Think of it this way. If they won that game... Woodhead doesn’t become a HOF’er, he doesn’t become a Pats HOF’er, it probably has no impact on whether Bill keeps him. He’s not getting any more credit than Hogan would get from SB 53. Nobody is going to contextualize his career differently.

For Brady it means everything because it is about how his life will be defined. For Woodhead he was a role player. Even for someone like Revis 2014 meant more just to get that champion label on his resume. Woodhead is a guy 99% of non Pats fans will forget or remember for his last name.
