PATRIOTS NEWS OFFICIAL: Patriots Finally Acquire AJ Brown

[Bradyking12]

Any word if Eli Raridon has played yet and how he's looked?

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Bedard:

Of what we saw, I'd say the most impressive thing was watching Brown go full speed at the cornerback (or coach in routes on air), and then break off his route. He can get up quickly on a cornerback's toes and that has to be intimidating. It's like a locomotive coming at you, and I could see that being tough to handle — is he going deep, or breaking it off? — for a cornerback. The footwork is impressive, and he easily catches the ball either with one hand or with nice late hands on passes over his shoulder. It comes easy to him.

A.J. Brown passed his physical but...but I thought his knees were shot.

Eliot The **** said that the medical & training staff "signed-off on it"

No mention of a thorough examination, or that he was put through a battery of tests or anything; just that "they signed-off on it"
Sounds like that's all they did. IOW, don't blame us when he's a football cripple in 3 years, around the same time that the 2028 first-rounder is making the "2nd-year leap"...

 

[sb1]

They’re so butthurt lmao

I Blame McDaniels for our SB loss no adjustments whatsoever. Sea Chicken DC owned him... Maye Day and A.J. will carry him this year. We'll win not because of McDaniels but in spite of.

Blame whomever you want, the Seahawks were the better team, period.

The knee is a non issue, it’s pain management. He hasn’t missed any time because of the knee. The guy only has 2-3 years left. He will leave it all out on the field. His goal is to win a ring, post some stats to make the HOF. The player and team goals align.

He’s here, the draft pick is gone. It’s high time we move past that and get pumped for this year. The schedule is a grind, but iron sharpens iron. They could have a worse record than last year, worse team stats than last year, but still be a better team entering the playoffs.

There’s no use now crying over spilt milk.

Go Pats!

Butthurt

 

[Sect140]

I have no idea what it was or who it was, I'm simply talking about any talking head who comes out and says" I know what the problem is, and who is responsible, but m not going to say it........" or variations of that.

I know, I was just stating that they were so full of sh*t and because they were so bad they aren’t on the air anymore. I believe the host was on the CBS sports morning show show with Boomer Esiason and left to do his own show which failed.

 

[captain stone]

They’re so butthurt lmao

They're not wrong either.

 

[captain stone]

Butthurt

Again, not wrong.

The Eagles can use that pick to move up in next years 2027 draft.

The draft that is supposed to be incredible.

So the Eagles are going to be able to get a team to give them their first round pick in " incredible draft" for their late first round pick in the draft that won't be " incredible? " As usual that makes no sense at all.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Another reminder of why Mayo had to go after 2024: he wouldn't have been able to pull off this trade. Although Brown was a fan of the Patriots, he wouldn't want to leave Philly for a dysfunctional Mayo led team. He's familiar with Vrabel which sealed the deal.

I love how the same four people are talking about the 'loaded' 2027 draft, like they've ever seen a college football game, because someone they saw on the TV said so.

Will it be better than this year's draft? Yes. Is it the 2011 draft? No. Skill position-wise, it will probably end up about average. There are some fantastic linemen, specifically offensive linemen, who will indeed strengthen the class overall, imo.

Nobody knows how strong the draft class will be, and generally they base all that in advance by counting the QB's they think will come out. We don't need a QB.

Again, not wrong.

No, they're wrong because they can't see the flaws and limitations with their own QB.

There's plenty of tweets showing Hurts playing like dogcrap... look I can do it too.



It'a a case of Drake Maye and Jalen Hurts being polar opposites as passers.

Drake's got touch, he can sling it 90 yards, he's not afraid to uncork one.... Brown is going to love it here.

Personally, DNGAF what a bunch of butthurt Beagle fans think.

That video. Yikes!

That's Jalen Hurts, it's always been Jalen Hurts.
In his defense, on a couple of those throws he was sped up, but he's never been the most accurate passer.

The Bills helped the Chiefs move up and take Mahomes.

Morons are plentiful as you know.

Minor quibble but it was a bit of a red flag to me when I heard him say it. Winning the Superbowl is not that important to AJ. I forget the exact quote but paraphrasing it was along the lines of "I thought I would be more excited after winning a ring. That joy was gone after a couple days and I enjoy physically whipping the guy across from me. That look in their eye when they quit. That's why I play, not for rings"

Now if his goal is to have a 90 catch 1400 yard 10 TD season the team is likely to go far so I will get over the bad feelings of what I would want my players to feel. I love physical play and if at the end of every game he leaves the other teams CB1 kinda broken I will be the last one crying about it. I'm just saying there are data points from his own words that suggest AJ being a bit of a diva that only cares about his stats
