forever in debt to mo lewis Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 6 minutes ago, Dcat said: changing the topic to the Jets? Why? Deflection? This was about the Pats trade of Jimmy G. And yes, I'm the first to tell you how much the Jets and its management suck balls. They are putrid. So if you are trying to get me rattled by ridiculing them, LOL, I'm right there with you. Bowles is a very bad HC. Incapable of controlling the locker room (like Rex) and very poor game planning and just horrendous in-game management. Clueless. Maccagnan has been, at best, a mediocre GM (per some jets fans) and I think he has been downright bad (I argue with other Jets fans about this). I wanted them both evicted this offseason. But the moronic ownership of the Jets gave these two cretins extensions. I've argued that Petty sucks since the day he was picked in the 4th round. And the drafting of Hackeberg in round 2 was just inexplicable. So if you want to poke fun at the Jets, you'll be here a long long time because there is so much garbage with this team, it is unbelievable. So if you want to make fun of the Jets, go right ahead. They deserve it. It doesn't bother me at all. Meanwhile, the trading of Jimmy G, I suspect, will be regretted by Pats fans down the road. We shall see. Next time stay on topic and don't try to deflect to another topic. Doing so is evidence that your side of the argument just sucks. lol....theres 10 pages of me in here staying "on topic" and discussing the jimmy g trade I suggest you brush up before you make such an idiotic claim...ive been discussing this thing for days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 1/5/2018 at 2:43 PM, Def. said: That Pats didn't sell Jimmy at his peak value and didn't retain him if he truly does turn out to be the next coming. Lose/Lose either way you want to try and frame it. Again, rare mistake for the Pats but definitely a mistake none the less in my view. Don't think being an "outsider" makes it any more or less black and white. Please again explain how this shows an anti-patriot stance or bias based on being a fan of a different team. The Pats did not sell him at peak value, and did not retain him if that was their intent. So again, I'd like to know where I am attacking the Patriots and making unreasonable observations based on my bias. 5 minutes ago, forever in debt to mo lewis said: also you said this...." Plus the topic has shifted from the original posted ESPN article and other things to how Pats fans view and value Brady, which was never a debated topic. " so u know bradys value to pats fans and how they view him....yet called this a lose/lose for the pats?!?!? It is possible to call a specific action, in this case the Jimmy G. trade, a mistake and indeed not imply the "doom of the franchise" as you so eloquently constantly try to force onto my opinion. I used lose/lose to show they did not achieve either objective in the trade (sell high or retain) and have not implied any other affect on the team from that. Again, will ask how this is an attack or a biased view based on the exact words stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 for instance....if the browns would have given them the 4th pick...which would have been what every other franchise would love to get(I'm assuming you think this is one of the best possible outcomes)....can you assume belichick wants to hand out guaranteed money to an unproven player? can you assume belichick is interested in that pick when he cant be guaranteed he can trade down out of it?....Solomon Thomas got like 17 mil signing bonus and 28 mil guaranteed.....can you assume belichick wants to hand that out to an unproven and possibly cause resentment when he hasn't paid other guys that have proven more? belichick has gotten by ok without picking in the top 10 most of his 17 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please advise, again, where I was anti-patriot or biased. Also please note on your side point, I will assume that all teams wish to either retain their assets they have deemed valuable or sell them at peak value, because it is hard to imagine any franchise would not want to do that.

Not to mention the two dillweed Pats homers who keep telling us all to shut up because we're not Pats fans so we aren't allowed to have opinions. Just look at their repsonses, not worth reading past the first sentence where they tell us all how superior they are. You know since they made the brilliant decision to be Pats fans. Who knew, I guess Bulls fans were the smartest in the NBA while Jordon was winning those titles. Why are people even trying to discuss this anymore, Pats fans have spoken, the rest of us should just GUMMI BEAR and go away, we're stupid and know nothing.

MTSuper7 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 6 hours ago, NAUgrad said: Yeah I gotcha. It would virtually be impossible to let Brady go at anytime really. As a matter of fact, I'll bet exactly the opposite happens. Of course he's playing at a ridiculous level now. Could still be there for a few more years. When the wheels fall off though, I'll bet he continues to remain the guy because of his past success. Probably longer than he should even when he starts throwing picks all day. He really has earned the right to play and start as long as he wants. Even more than Favre ever earned that right. I just don't see anyone moving him or releasing him from the Pats.........ever!!! That's not to say that the Garrapolo trade doesn't end up being a bad move. Given the situation though, the Pats had no choice and did what any franchise would do in the same situation. Brady stays........period. The bolded above is the only reason I brought up Marino. I understand Marino doesn't have the career resume that Brady has. But his level of play fall off was notable, yet he remained as a liability. This is probably what you all are going to face in New England. Your best chance of avoiding such a fate would be if Brady gets Wally Pipped by the franchise's QB of the future. Rereading some of my comments, I guess I'm a heartless bastard to some extent. I have been focused solely on what makes business sense. I do think releasing Brady after this season would have been an option if they had kept Garoppolo. However, I'm not even sure what sort of cap relief that would provide. And unceremoniously dumping Brady to the curb is pretty harsh to do to a long-tenured franchise QB (let alone the GOAT). So yeah, I'll concede that fatal flaw in my plan. It seems as if New England just groomed the heir apparent too early and were screwed over by Brady's late-career success (though contending for SBs is hardly getting screwed over).

Caveman_Nick Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There is an interesting theory I heard recently as to why Brady is motivated to defy the odds, and it has to do with selling the TB12. Sure, he’s a competitive guy, wants like heck to win again at least once, etc. that being said, what better ‘walking billboard’ for the TB12 method could there be than for Tom to have unprecedented success in his 40s. I can see how that would affect his thinking and keep him doing whatever is necessary to stay at the top of his game s few years longer.

Makes sense though, and I don't doubt that has something to do with him wanting to play forever. I personally see him going the way of the Eli sooner rather than later, I guess we'll have to wait and see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
