The untold story of how Tom Brady was almost drafted by the NY Jets

[Deus Irae]

It's kind of funny how Tuna Crap get's credited (by some here) with starting the Pats down the road of success, even though his big complaint was that he didn't get to pick the players. And now we find out that when he did get to pick the players, he stunk at that too.

What Tuna Crap was really good at was being able to pick the right spots to turn horrible teams around.
2-14 Pats, 1-15 Jets, 5-11 Cowboys and 1-15 Dolphins as GM. That strategy and keeping Bill Belichick and his defenses by his side as long as he could is what led to his success in turning teams around. Once he lost Belichick, Tuna was nothing special as either a HC or a GM

Parcells was picking players, but he was overruled on a first round pick named 'She', and that was the beginning of the end of Parcells' Patriots tenure.

If he was overruled then he wasn't making the selections. Who overruled him?

But anyway, it all worked out just peachy in the end. We ended up with Belichick.

Id really love to read that scout's report on Brady.

Call me cynical, if you want, but if his actual report were that favorable he would have leaked it with the story...I think this is a guy with an ax to grind and probably doesn't get mentioned in Tuna's new book so he's out to say, "hey, remember me?"...doesn't mean that I don't still love the story and especially the photo-shopped pic, just that I take it with a big grain of salt.
