No. That they did it.

Why did they have to do anything?

. Good for them but everyone knows if Seattle runs the ball they win and Atlanta could've took 3 knees and won.

Yeah, because no team has ever stopped a running back from the one yard line...


Ever.

And Atlanta...well...Yeah, I'm still not surprised.

Without a QB, Billy Belly ain't as successful as some would believe.

Do you know any football team that didn't have a QB that was succesful?

 

[Battlelyon]

Belichick is gone after the season

Jimmy is getting franchised or the 49ers are going to pay him A LOT of money. So "almost nothing" really isn't accurate. Not to mention every other team in the league had a shot at drafting him. But didn't.

Really? Do you think the Niner brass was unaware that they may have to pay him some money for his services?

Yeah....if he's a legit franchise QB, the Niners got him for basically nothing.

because its a big story to the media and fans now?

especially this board.

You know he had a Pro Bowl type QB before Brady, right? The QB that NE just made the highest paid player at that time....and Billy Belly couldn't win with that?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Eh, 11 wins with the worst QB ive ever set my eyes on

How about that elite QB who won THREE games this year? Guess they just wanted to draft ahead of teams like Indy

I was talking about what SF gave up for him. Aka almost nothing.

I look at it much the same way I look at a potential Machado trade in baseball. You're not going to get a huge return for a player with only a half season of control. Would have liked to see a first rounder in return but . . . oh well. BB has shown a tendency to find those diamonds in the rough with later round picks if you know what I mean.

So the statement just put out is a lie? They don't look forward to continue working together in the future?

You don't even understand what the pats got in that deal. Not a clue.

Not really. I mean...even Billy Belly really had no idea what he had until Mo Lewis forced his hand.

A second round pick?

 

[dbldwn711]

Wrong. He knew he had something that's why he kept 4 QBs on the roster the year before. That's why he didn't cut Brady that year. Also, Brady wasn't the Brady of today that first year. He wasn't throwing for 300-400 yards every game. Drew was out for a few games. Everybody expected him to return to being the starter when he was healthy. (He had just signed a huge new contract at the beginning of that season). When Drew was healthy he did NOT return to being the starter. This was a very controversial decision by BB. He made it bc he knew/felt he had something with Brady. It's also why he carried 4 QBs the year before

 

[dbldwn711]

A second round pick?

Wrong. See I knew you didn't know.

 

[The Derski]

Wrong. See I knew you didn't know.

Then explain.

If he knew, he wouldn't have waited till the 6th round. BB was looking for a backup, period.
