I can't see the Redskins being as good a team as the Patriots this year. However, they did have 100% attendance at their voluntary workouts:

I wonder if any of the players is over 30, or has kids........or a wife?
I never said he was a problem. I simply stated that he is not following the same process that got him to where he is. He is not the most naturally gifted player in the NFL, but we constantly hear that he is one of the hardest working. His hold on the parking space has been told over and over again. He no longer considers that a priority, and that cannot be debated as he as chosen to pass on the program for the last 2 seasons. That is his choice, but I will continue to say it is beneficial for him to be there in the offseason. I do think having the centerpiece of your team leading by example in the offseason program is something that benefits and drives all of the other players in the organization. If your argument is no loss is felt with him being absent from the offseason program, I would have to disagree with you. If it was important for him to be there for the 1st 7-8 years of his career (of which we participated in 4 SBs and won 3), I would think it is important now.
First, I don't like his politics and I think I was clear about that. I do have a huge problem with the things he is saying, but I have no problem with him saying them. It's American for him to voice his opinion (as uninformed as it is).
Second, my opinion is that Brady benefited greatly from his serious dedication to the program, and more importantly I feel his willingness to participate was a driving factor for the other players on the team. Many of the players who have come through the Pats organization over the years have stated this exact fact. If you are saying his decision to remain absent has no impact, I cannot agree with that/
First off, why would Brady be average, does the average HoF QB suffer a knee injury like he did? His mobility in 09 was not nearly what it had been previously, I also think that injury messed with his head quite a bit, he played with a lot of fear this past year doing very uncharacteristic things like forcing the ball into coverage or throwing it away when he had open receivers. One cannot expect perfection out of a QB but his play looked very different.
Also, where is the leadership in not showing up to workouts? No one is asking him to kill himself training but when the guy who is the face of the franchise and who is supposed to be the leader of your team is a no show that does not help.
Finally, that "TB12" hat is the worst.
