PATRIOTS NEWS OFFICIAL: Patriots Finally Acquire AJ Brown

[Water Boy]

I bet Tom Brady had some similar feelings. He wasn't about looking back at his trophy shelf and living in the past. It was about the competition.

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

It depends on his mentality.

Some people get greater satisfaction and fulfillment from the actual process and the grind to be great than the actual spoils derived from it.

Certainly could be, obviously I am not in his head but I found it off putting. I would want the ultimate goal to be team success not personal success of making the other guy quit. In the end how he gets there isn't that important if he has the kind of season he is capable of, the team success will come with it

I get it.

Some people suck at articulating how they really feel and think. I think thats him.

This is Hall of Stupid.

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"...

Oh shut up. You think they need to tell you everything and clear it with you first.

Keep in mind his Pats fandom. Winning the SB for the team he's fanatical about is a whole nother story. Joining Edelman, Gronk, Brady in Pats lore as SB heroes is at the top of his wishes.

When I saw my first book on the shelves of a Waldenbooks decades ago is when i realized that the journey was more important than the prize - and all I wanted to do was get back home and work on the next book.

There is Hall of Stupid. Beyond that even is Felger and Mazz stupid.

I'm not saying this happened, but the Panthers IIRC apologized for making a 28–3 joke, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I'm the same way. I enjoy the climb must better than enjoying the view.
