You Discover Fountain of Youth: Which 5 Patriots Do You Let Use It?

[FreeTedWilliams]

Bruce Armstrong was better than Light, granted a different time and game back then, but he was a great LT for a long time.

I guerss it is because we have Gronk and Hernandez, but I find it hard to believe that Russ Francis' name hasn't appeared anywhere here (that I've read).

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Brady - No brainer.

Seymour and Wilfork - You win titles in the trenches and this makes us very hard to deal with there.

Law and Harrison - Attitude and HOF caliber skills to form a dominant secondary to go along with a dominant line. Neither are as good as Moss individually but we never replaced either of these guys and it has shown since Harrison's ACL tear in 2005. Would rather have the stud defense with a 2003/2004 caliber offense than an all world offense and questionable secondary without playmakers. In addition, much as I love Randy, these guys show up all day, everyday most importantly in the playoffs.

I think there are three indisputables that should be on every list.


Brady
Tippett
Seymour

Then you can debate the other two slots with Hannah, law, Haynes, brushi, dillon, Harrison, moss an light


By sheer impact I think it's impossible to leave moss off. With Brady he can carry an entire offense by himself an dictate the entire game and win entire games by himself.

That leaves on more slot.

Dillon was good but not historically good. Nice season but he's a rb
Harrison was great but was past his prime as a pat and a safety
Hannah was historically great but was a guard who'd get killed today
Brushi is more of a fan favorite pick. Great leader but waste of resources to use on him
Never saw Haynes play so I can't say.
Law was a lockdowncb and clutch player.
Light was good but never dominant

I'll take the cb. That gives you an all time great qb-wr combo to carry the offense, along with a great cover man a great all around dt and that edge rusher specialist who can stuff the run. Just based on value those are the most important positions minus left tackle.

I think the player that isn't being mentioned enough is Grownkowski. Its understandable since he is still in his prime and we aren't pining away for his glory days. However, the guy is just such a dominating player at his position that I believe he qualifies for one of those debatable two spots. He is that physical freak of nature like Moss, Seymour, Hannah that you would always covet for your team.

Well we can always re-post this thread once every season. Could have quite a team!
