Kraft's turning into Jerry Jones.Coach wrote:No doubt, if I had it my way this season would be Brady's last in New England and we'd begin next season with Jimmy G. Now we've got to draft another QB and hope we strike gold again. Still, I've been guilty of slamming the Pats for giving up on players in their prime, so what do I know.spike wrote:That's a fair point; the Packers' may've felt more pressure to yield to Favre's demands had he led them to a SB victory the year before.Coach wrote:It's really hard to fairly compare the Pats situation to any other team; their run is unmatched in the NFL and the dynamics of putting team above all else has worked out pretty well for them.spike wrote:i'm referring to the trading jimmy g move. the packers didn't trade rodgers.Simple Torture wrote:That's been Belichik's MO for years. If he traded Brady to Cleveland for the #1 pick I wouldn't be shocked at all (not that I think it will happen, just that it wouldn't be totally shocking).spike wrote:it sounds similar to the final days of favre in green bay, though the packers made the baller move and didn't put one player - no matter how great - above what's best for the franchise long term.
The Pats have dealt away plenty of stars in Milloy, Seymour, Collins, Branch, Chandler Jones, etc. They've made plenty of "baller" moves.
Still, it's a huge gamble to put all your chips on a 40 year old football player playing for several more seasons. BB must be fuming.
Me, too.numbers wrote:I’ve really been trying to soak it in and cherish this Team this year because I feel like this run only has a couple more years tops in it. Been watching all kinds of clips on YouTube lately of the early years of the Brady/Belichick Era.

I fully admit that most of -- if not ALL of -- my issues with the Pats are envy based. I can't imagine what it would be like to have such a dominant franchise to root for. It's literally incredible. I would never want it to end, either. I get it.numbers wrote:I watched the 2004 and 2014 America’s Games last night.

In the last couple years I've started to recognize how spoiled we are and try to keep that in mind. It really has been amazing, when I first started watching this team they were the laughingstock of the NFL and now they are the greatest franchise in the history of the league.durdencommatyler wrote:I fully admit that most of -- if not ALL of -- my issues with the Pats are envy based.

Hopefully, Sunday's game is another phenomenal one for you.
It's a hell of a story.
