Jamie Collins, good trade or bad trade?

[Broncos6482]

Simple enough, do you think trading Jamie Collins was a good move or bad move for the Patriots?

Pic with shirt perhaps???

Can you be more specific?

It's was atypical of a reflection of Belchek brilliance. Very unusual....

 

[cerealboi]

Such a bad trade that it has led to speculation as to certain off field concerns with Collins.

Man you guys are just jealous of my qb's amazing physique!

 

[Broncos6482]

Can you be more specific?

As it stands, right now, do you think it was a good move or a bad move?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Good trade.

In BB I trust.....

Bad move with a side of tator salad

 

[sonnyblack65]

Good trade.

In BB I trust.....

He's one of the last guys I trust, he should be in the presidential election. He would trade his kids, if the right offer came along, or they pissed him off. Fortunately more often than not, he makes the correct decision

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Good trade.

In BB I trust.....

You trust in bb but you really think it was a bad trade...lol

 

[ATL96Steeler]

There's no way this could be considered anything but a bad trade for the '16 season, but BB knows his personnel and he wouldn't have made it if he didn't think the next guy up could do an adequate job at least.

In short...bad trade but probably won't hurt them.

No, I said good trade. I think they get better now.

Ok...I don't see how they got better now, but I hear ya.

He did miss some assignments like in the Buffalo game and even worse, the 2 TD's last year in the AFCG by Owen Daniels but he is a pretty damn good player. That's probably why Broncos6482 likes him so much and wanted him to stay

I suspect there is below the surface issues that we are not aware of. By trading him now the benefit is getting a compensatory pick a year earlier. If BB felt Collins was as valuable an asset as most of the public and press thinks he is then he would have kept him for this years SB run. There must of been other issues

A source of a source said yes, BB caught Jamie wearing his hoodie

FINALLY!!! A reasonable explanation. Thanks @sonnyblack65

If BB thought he could reconcile whatever Collins has done, said or was doing, I'm sure he would have done it. I think Collins' freelancing had gotten beyond the point of redemption. The final nail was his decision to charge the gap on Gilisee's(?) 28 yard bolt. Collins "job" was to cut off the edge not slash through the Guard/Tackle gap. When he realized that he was already behind the runner, he compounded the error but sliding 15 feet on his ass.

Patricia took him out and subbed Elandon Roberts who immediately made 3 tackles. He put Collins back in and he decided to pay his own game again and Roberts pretty much played the remainder of the game. More importantly, did his "job".

Think whatever you want, Belichick gets paid $8M a year to win championships and not listen to media, fans or players. He does his "job". And he does it pretty well.
