Eason didnt like to study or lift weights.
He held himself back.
Could’ve had Marino. Hell even the jets selected a better qb in O’Brien.

Moss was only here for 3 years...
The mid to late 1980's teams were loaded with talent.
Did Tony Eason or the coaching staff hold them back?
(I hate to dump on any Patriot)
I mean Martin is definitely the best RB to be on this team.That is an asinine nitpick. Moss is second only to Rice as a WR in the modern era.
I didn't correct the articles choice of RB because I believe a fair case could be made for Nance, Cunningham, Martin, Dillon or Faulk.

So who's the quarterback? No time to click.
Adams was good, but who would you take off? The Pats have a ton of great linemen in their historyNever ending arguments, but will put in my 2 cents for Julius Adams who played 206 games for the Pats and made the Probowl in 1980. He was a guy who was a very good D Lineman who toiled in the trenches for 16 years... often on abysmal teams.
Tough to leave Welker or Edelman off.
Armstrong was a better LT then Light
I wish I was old enough to have seen Sam Cunningham play. He sounds like a badass.
He had potential....He had a great nickname “Bam”, a ton of hype having played at USC, and a signature play in diving over the goal line. But, he was was just an average player. The Patriots of then we’re much like the Patriots of today using a committee of running backs. Cunningham along with Andy Johnson, Horace Ivory and Don Calhoun all gained a lot of yards on the ground. Of course, they had a fantastic OL to run behind led by John Hannah. Plus, the first All-world TE in Russ Francis.
If not for the great idea of playing beach football as an event at the Pro Bowl, Robert Edwards would have been the All Patriot RB.
My problem with the pick is this: when you select the all time Vikings team, who is going to start at WR alongside Moss? Great players are associated with one team. Moss may have had the greatest WR season of all time here, but he was a Viking first and foremost.That is an asinine nitpick. Moss is second only to Rice as a WR in the modern era.

Tony Eason got a bad rap as a Patriots QB. Compared to Steve Grogan, any QB would be seen as soft plus having the nickname “Champagne Tony” from playing at the U of Illinois didn’t help. The Patriots OL went to hell in the late 80s and pass protection and their running game ceased to exist.

Only five losing seasons for Julius, in 16 seasons.Never ending arguments, but will put in my 2 cents for Julius Adams who played 206 games for the Pats and made the Probowl in 1980. He was a guy who was a very good D Lineman who toiled in the trenches for 16 years... often on abysmal teams.
Randy Moss will never be considered anything all Patriots in my mind.New England Patriots All-Franchise Team - Last Word on Pro Football
Can't believe Kliff Kingsbury missed the cut, but no list is ever perfect.
It wasn't his fault.I still haven’t forgiven Sam Bam for stepping out of bounds in the 76 playoff game
