In 2009, he was an MVP candidate, and one of only 4 players to get a vote for the award. He was nowhere near "completely washed up".
How much do you think it would take to get into the top 3? You dont think we have enough ammo between this year and next? We have 175 freaking draft picks stockpiled... may as well cash them in for a player that is actually worth it.
I know this board hates it, but I'd love to see him gather enough Ammo to move up to #1 land Andrew Luck next year if a Rookie Wage scale is in place (which most believe will).
And seven years from now he can start.
Right...
Because Brady has 7 good years left in him.
Only in this forum will you read such out of touch with reality nonsense.
Brett Favre was a completely washed up 38yr old when the team FINALLY decided to give him the boot for Rodgers.
The last thing I'll say about making a play for Luck is this...
In 4 years when this kid is lighting up the league, and Brady is either a mere shell of what he used to be, OR we have some other slub back there trying to keep us at or above .500, you all will remember me saying this stuff.
not to mention. even if that ridiculous scenario occurred, we would be paying bradys salary AND lucks no. 1 pick salary. for the next 3 years. sounds like fun.

Like every year, BB will trade picks for next yr. That's why I love to see all these "Mock" pundits having us keep all the picks and take their binky's.
I would not be shocked if we traded down from 17, traded #28 or #33 for 2012 picks. Anything is possible. One thing you won't see pats do is package picks to move up.
Out of 6 picks in 3rds, I expect 2 to be traded into 2012 draft. That's how you keep reloading every year.
Frankly, I'd be shocked if #33 isn't traded. If Belichick actually makes picks at 17 and 28, there's no doubt about it. There are several teams drafting before #40 that need a QB, and one of them could want to get to the front of the line. One of them might be desperate enough to offer their 2012 1st round pick in a package.
Pretty much how I see it. That pick is gold because teams now have all night to redo their draft boards and will likely have a player or more they want badly and will move to get them. It's hard to see how anything less than a 2012 first would get it unless they have already used their 2nd and 3rd round picks to move up for players and need to replenish them.
The key, I think, is going to be what happens with Buffalo. If (A) they don't take a QB at 3, and (B) teams think they plan to take a QB at 34, then welcome to Wild Bill's Trade-for-that-Quarterback Emporium. :rocker:

IMO, it's also how you fail to win a playoff game in 3 years. I'm getting tired of the value over talent philosophy. It has been written on this board that Pats were loading up for this year and the rookie salary cap. If the CBA is worked out and there is a rookie cap, I say trade what it takes to get a third first rounder this year. I'd be happy with 3 "McCourtys" this year.
Ahhhh...Trade FORWARD, out of an anticipated weak class. VERY interesting...
As stated above, I USUALLY find that to be a fundamentally unsound policy. Indeed, it is only because Coach Bill has acquired such a wealth of Picks that I floated my radical idea, this past Spring, to roll the Raider Pick forward, in pursuit of San Fran's 2nd 1st Rounder, as the likes of Marquis de Pouncey don't come along very often.
So while I'm not on board with your approach, I salute the creativity and forward thinking whence it came.
If the 2012 Draft Class DOES turn out weak ~ as opposed to every last 2014 Red Shirt Sophomore stampeding to fill the void ~ my approach would simply be to Trade Back, as we did in 2007.
Still...I LOVE your sense of GREED.
