Successful BB Midseason Offensive Player Acquisitions?

[sb1]

IIRC Branch was traded back to us from Seattle during the 2010 season? He wasn’t quite the player he was years before but he was still a plus for the offense for a couple years.

I’ll see your Sanu and raise you A Brown.

(Too soon?.)

Man... what could've been.

 

[NewEraWithMac]

Nope. Stop. Show me a news link where Brady said to get Sanu. What I'm seeing is Dumb and Dumber roommates from John Carroll from 2013-2019 wasting important capital for Sanu, Harry, Michel and blowing it all, causing Tom to say F it and go to Tampa.

but to the point of BB, absolutely BB demonstrated his willingness to bolster the offense. He just got the worst advice ever from Dumb and Dumber (John Carroll roommates)

Brady specifically said he was a big fan of Sanu for years and has followed his whole career. Brown was cut and BB went to the next best available Brady choice.

Not my fault you didn't see that press conference.

Weird how you'd blame McDaniels for BB doing what Brady wanted. Brady and McDaniels are also close off the field as well. Some of you will go to great lengths to make it seem like Brady can't be held accountable for literally anything. That's why BB walked. He couldn't be. His ego had become too big.

Brady personally fired like 40 WRS in camp one year. It was 2018 I think. They oodles of WRs in there as a 3rd or 4th option to compete in camp, and he told BB to get rid of every one.

Brady is like Nicky Santoro in Casino. BB whacked Brady. That's why a new contract never came. Nothing was ever good enough for the Prince.

How about the second coming of Blount, after the Steelers released him.

I'm gonna say ABrown would have transformed the offense positively if he hadn't been cut about to be suspended.

.

FIFY

that one was a no brainer lol

Keshawn Martin was a very underrated pickup in 2015. The winner is definitely Blount in 2014 (?) though.

I think it was 2016 when was picked up when he left the field early in Pitt. BB acquired him for a 7th, though. Another steal by the greatest GM ever.

BB once drafted a track star (Jeff Demps + a 7th)) and used him to acquire Blount who was instrumental in 2 SB rings.

And NE won 3 SBs.

After Brady told BB to go get him, I remember almost all of the national talking heads said it made NE a lock for the AFC title game and a possible SB favorite with the loaded #1 D and their STs.

It wasn't for a sake of trying or BB not supporting Brady.

It recently came out that NE preferred Emmanuel Sanders, but they couldn’t afford him so they turned their attention to Sanu. Brady following Sanu’s career just doesn’t sound right. The guy was decent WR at best and mostly a 3rd option or a 2nd option on a good day. I don’t believe Brady wanted him for a second.

And nobody in the national media took that trade seriously putting them as title contenders. They were more like questioning the ridiculous price Bill gave up in fear the 9ers were in the running, but never were after they found out Atlanta’s asking price. Demetroff’s last gift to Atlanta was beating Bill at the poker table pretty badly.

He was the catalyst for the resurgence of the D.

Would’ve rather had him over Revis, but he couldn’t be trusted getting injured and letting the team two years in a row in the AFCCG.

Yeah not buying the crap rumor that it was brady. A 6 year history of total garbage moves by the john carroll roommates from 2013-2019 and before that 2005-2008 idiocy as well.

Not Brady.

Did McDaniels and Caserio run over your dog, too?

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Did McDaniels

Nah just feel the Pats would have had even more rings with Brady without several wasted seasons. 10 yr drought then a bare cupboard till recently.

I'd call the Branch trade in 2010 a success even considering the lackluster end of that season. The team needed some receiving help after the Moss trade with Welker still working back from the torn ACL and Gronk and Hernandez still only rookies. Traded a low 4th rounder (even if it turned into a pretty good player in K.J. Wright) for 700 yards in only 11 games to close out the season is pretty good. His 2011 season also wasn't bad with 700 yards while being the 4th receiving option after Welker, Gronk and Hernandez.

F'in joke anyway because we still up since the last time we stuck it in anyway.

Palladium Star. I don't think one can get a better answer. Forgot he was picked up pretty late in the season. Led the league in rushing TDs in 2016 with 18. Don't remember why we didn't resign him. Maybe it was a similar reason to why Butler didn't play in the game where Blount rushed pretty well against us.

They’ve had too many missed opportunities. The 10 year drought should’ve never happened.

My guess was because he struggled in playoff games against Denver ‘13 and ‘15 and Atlanta ‘16. Teams with good run D’s were able to take him out of games.

They needed more speed and versatility which what they hoped for with Michel.

It was a shame. Total misses on Maroney, Chad Jackson, Dave Thomas+Garrett Mills. Deja vu with Michel, Harry, Keene, hopefully not Asiasi. This is why I was really rooting for the oc to get a hc job, it's too bad other teams didn't pull the trigger. It was incredible how we restocked the roster from 2009-2012 while Denver was going down in flames, but now those mainstays are old or gone, we're back to trying to restock. Getting Mac was huge but the team still has major holes at NT and CB1 on defense, and on offense has a hole at play-caller. if they go 1-4 in the red zone again then the voice volume will increase on the play calling.
