If we are basing this on "The Super Bowl" team no other Qb qualifies than TB12 but if we are basing the criteria on how WE THINK the backup would play in the SB I would prioritize Bledsoe over Jimmy for the reason he has more experience in the playoffs.Backup QB: Bledsoe baby!
RB: Dillon & Faulk
WR: Moss, Edelman, Branch, Givens (D-money)
TE: Gronk
OL: Solder, Mankins, Koppen, Mason, Light, Woody
DL: Seymour, Flowers, Wilfork, Ninkovich, (Warren)
LB: McGinest, Hightower, Bruschi, Vrable (Mayo)
CB: Law, Gilmore (Butler)
S: Harrison, McCourty, (Milloy/Harmon)
K: Vinitari

Bledsoe played a role in the 2001 playoff run as a backup. He certainly belongs.
It's odd to see so many fans rank the all-time B&B era players by selecting players that were only part of the 2 losses and none of the 5 wins. I would not have Moss, Welker or Mankins on my list just for that reason.
Ridley is a name I definitely didn't expect to see on this here. What's your thinking in having Roman Pheifer in there over Vrabel and Mayo?

Yeah, I get were you are coming from. Guys that are jinxed that just can't do it when the big dance comes. You see it in coaches - Andy Reid and Marty Schottenheimer come to mind and I think the same is true for Welker and Moss. Jules made the impossible. Welker did not.
I'd like to call attention to a fun exercise that's been started over on Reddit at r/Patriots,
Ultimate Patriots Super Bowl Roster
Go and vote for your all-time roster. Fun debate to be had.
I felt like it's particularly hard to only select 3 LB and 3 WR because it forces you to leave off some pretty incredible performers.
My Roster: (1st alternative in parenthesis)
Backup QB: Garoppolo
RB: Dillon & White (Lewis)
WR: Moss, Edelman, Branch (Welker)
TE: Gronk
OL: Solder, Mankins, Koppen, Mason, Cannon (Light)
DL: Seymour, Flowers, Wilfork, Ninkovich, (Branch)
LB: McGinest, Hightower, Vrabel (Bruschi/Mayo)
CB: Law, Gilmore (Butler)
S: McCourty, Harrison (Milloy/Harmon)
K: Gostkowski

Thats what I tried to do. Selections were based on Super Bowl performances and playoffs second.
Mankins had a bad 42 and an ok 46 (granted he was playing on one leg). I picked Andruzzi and Steve Neal as my guards.
Welker had a very good 42 but obviously the drop in 46 hurt him. Moss caught the go-ahead TD and was double-teamed all game so I don't have anything against him. However based on performance, Branch, DA and JE11 are clear-cut choices over Moss and WW.
Name another TE who has had a superior SB performance than Gronk?If you're using that criteria, Gronk isn't on the team.

I'm just bitter because he's always hurt for the SBs, even when he plays.
Graham had a pretty good on, iirc.
