As a fan of this team, this summer has been a quite the ride. I refrained from commenting on the Hernandez situation entirely until now. This will be the only post I ever make on it.
I know to some it might not seem like it now, but I feel his situation, at least from a football standpoint, will work in the team's favor for a number of reasons. For starters, Hernandez as a football player is next to impossible to replace or replicate but his departure will create a unification amongst the team's locker room. Similarly to the 2007 incident - the team will use this as a way to strengthen their bonds with one another and working diligently to re-establish their brand on and off the field. The circumstances surrounding this matter are unfortunate but if there's ever a team that can turn a negative into a positive and make that a benefit it's the Patriots because...
