Let me ask you guys this---do you want to see Brady out of the line-up for one single snap, while this clown is at QB? Guy runs something like a 4.72 forty, which puts him in there with athletic offensive linemen. You want him carrying the ball on 3rd and 3, or you want Brady out there checking off 5 eligible receivers and getting the ball to one of them? Brady's numbers on short yardage 3rd and 4th down conversions are stratospheric.
H-back? TE? Can he even run a pass pattern?
He's a gimmick, and the Pats don't need gimmicks. |
While I respect your considerable football insight, history, and knowledge, Mike, the kid does have a Heisman... While that clearly does not translate into a HOF career in the NFL, to insinuate the kid has no ability is wrong.
As for your Brady question; if the ball isn't out of his hand in under three seconds, I would consider something else. More than three seconds and his completion stats fall off the cliff. |

Pat Sullivan, Gary Beban, John Huarte and Eric Crouch also are Heisman QBs. Means jack.
Enjoy your gimmick.  |

The Pats have shown themselves as willing to take a risk on ability in the past from Dillon to Haynesworth. At this point I cheer for whoever wears the uniform and I don't consider myself as knowledgable on who can help our team as BB. This really can't even be considered a risk,financially or roster wise. If nothing else he can show his work ethic to rooks.I still remember the gimmick leading an 0-4 team to the playoffs....
