Great/average/bad all time Pats players who the fan base loved or hated

[maust]

You guys are talking about an un-relatable time in patriots history.. where I was more concerned with trying to get her bra off then what the team was doing in early 90s.. LOL..

Not F'n much

 

[Pape]

I'm contractually obligated to stick up for my fellow Ga Tech Yellow Jackets.

Coaches:

Fairbanks (loved, good)
Erhardt (divided, average - he's a better OC)

Berry (divided, good)
MacPherson (hated, bad)
Rust: (hated, bad)
Tuna: (loved until he left, great)
Pete: (divided, not ready for prime time)

Idc I loved Ochocinco / Bad

 

[Force Zero Boomer]

That never made much sense to me either - waste of a roster spot. Is it not possible to teach the 3rd string center how to do this? The long snapper maybe gets in on less than a dozen plays/game...

Then that bad snap happens... during the Super Bowl... with your punter standing at the 5. Or, it's a 45 yarder to win the game. A layup for today's kickers. The snap is high, longer time to bring down, timing is off. Missed the AFC Championship game winner.

I won a lot of online Madden games by user-intercepting opponents with Gary Guyton. So I speak for myself when I say he's an all time irrational favorite of mine lol

 

[Real fan 02]

Not F'n much

I remember when tippet came to my school back in 90 to do a D.A.R.E program speech and he was on crutches... LOL

 

[imahobgoblin]

There is no way David Patten makes this team.

I can still vividly recall the sense of doom after the 4th preseason game in '89. Starters played a half to 3 quarters of the 4th game back then. Tippet (shoulder), Veris (knee) and Lippett (achilles) all lost for the season in the final preseason game, there went the D. The Pats were lost for more than just a season after that catastrophe. The downward spiral had begun

Joey Galloway (hated, bad). No idea what happened to this guy as a deep threat when he got here. Made some “business decisions” on the field and pissed Brady off too IIRC.

Donald Hayes - see Joey Galloway. Lol

 

[Patriot Missile]

Speaking of Thomas... BB got rid of guys when they were in thier late 20s.. we signed Thomas at 29 to a long term deal... thought he like em younger...

All time great signing on paper. The free agent treasure just never lived up to the hype.

If anyone can find the play where AD used Washington to sack Favre vs the Jets I’d be much obliged. It looked like something out of Marvel where Hulk basically uses Leon Washington to smash Loki. I laughed for weeks afterwards and had the vid on repeat until I lost it.

 

[jimnance]

Andre Tippett loved/great ( can't believe nobody mentioned one of the 5 greatest Patriots of all time)
Gino Cappeletti loved/great
Jim Nance loved/great for a few years was one of the alltime greatest rbs. At his best was better than Corey Dillon at his best.
Jules loved/great my alltime favorite Patriot
Mini-Mack Herron loved/ great(well he was great for a little while) maybe the most fun to watch Patriot evah?

 

[jimnance]

Damn, almost forgot:
Mark Henderson loved/great

Wasn't 1990 the year where practically all of the 1985 team either left or retired?

 

[Dec54]

Teddy Bruschi #54 always seemed as though it was fun and couldn't believe he was payed to do it. Loved him.

couldnt a backup qb do this

 

[InRodWeRust]

couldnt a backup qb do this

I think you're thinking of a holder and not a snapper. Snappers have to have some bulk on them and strength to block.

Tippet was soldiering on and the Ghost of Grogan played his last in 1990 but IIRC that was pretty much it

Tebow (loved*, bad)

*by the Tebowites. Hi Christiancat!
