Whats wrong with the Patriots? Let's start here...

Most of this video is garbage. Please don’t watch the whole thing. However, if you start at 1:50 and stop at 3:40 I think there is some great insight into the Pats, what’s wrong with them and how Brady is feeling.

I'd welcome him back and I'm sure that TB would too

 

[Carnzo]

One thing though, would he be put on the commissioner exempt list i.e. Suspended by the league?

He de-facto is I feel like?

 

[Carnzo]

I guess he is.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I guess he is.

Don't have to set a precedent if nobody signs him anyways

- NFL

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I know they cut him but they are still paying. And he's in their cap.

What is the drop dead date for adding players?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Normally in Nov they have it all figured out.

IMO TB12 needs to adjust his game said this multiple times already. He is the veteran he has two rookies WRs a first year or half year guy in Sanu, teams know this and will double Jules. And speaking of Jules hey TB start looking elsewhere. Adjust the playbook to allow the rookies and Sanu to get acclimated.

And run the damn ball more.

I don't know about them having it all figured out in November, Yankee rebel. 2 years ago, they barely beat the Steelers late and played sloppy and shitty and everybody clamored all over it. Then last season, the Miami miracle in mid Dec cost them HFA and all we heard for 2 weeks was how they wouldn't win in KC now and they were old, slow and done. This last one, they lose to Bill O'Brien for the first time ever? I don't know if that's accurate or not but it doesn't matter. The point is, they, like most teams, they will lay an egg and because it's the Patriots, the sky is falling. Then Belichick rolls into the play-offs and schools other coaches. I'm just saying let's wait and see. I agree the Oline isn't as dominant and they miss a TE but it's still Belichick and Brady and they are just mentally better than everyone else.

NFL Analyst Explains Why Patriots ‘Absolutely’ Should Sign Antonio Brown


New England sent shockwaves around the NFL when it signed Brown the day before its season opener, but the star wideout’s tenure in Foxboro ultimately lasted a mere 11 days. AB has been out of the league since the Patriots cut him in late September, but he’s made it abundantly clear through social media he would welcome a return to New England with open arms. Bringing Brown back, obviously, would come with hefty baggage, but it’s a move Clark believes the Patriots wouldn’t be afraid to make. “Absolutely, 100 percent,” Clark said Wednesday on ESPN’s “Get Up” when asked if New England should sign Brown. “Listen, we know this is a team that’s not above cheating. This is a team we know is not above doing whatever it takes. This is a team that’s not built on morality. This is a team that’s built on championships and if you can help me win a championship and you’re not in jail, they will take you. They have done that. If they want to win, if they want Tom Brady to stop screaming at his wide receivers to do things that they were not blessed with the talent to do, you go out and get this dude. You kicked the tires, you asked the NFL, ‘Will he be able to play? Will he be on the commissioner’s exempt list?’ and let him ride.”
Clark believes the Patriots should make the reunion happen ASAP, too. “They need to bring him back Friday because this is the most important regular-season game in the history of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady being in New England,” Clark said. “You lost to Lamar (Jackson), you lost to Deshaun (Watson) and now if you lose to Patrick (Mahomes), you lost to all the up-and-coming quarterbacks and you’ve also lost to the Ravens, the Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs. None of those teams will be scared to go into Foxboro and play. If you told me which teams you have to beat to get to the Super Bowl, it’s going to be one of those three and they each will have beaten you this year.” Most important regular-season game in the Belichick-Brady era? That’s a take. Purely from a talent perspective, there’s no doubt Brown would provide a tremendous boost to the Patriots. But in New England, especially this time of year, the franchise heavily leans on the players it unequivocally can count on. A lack of clear-cut faith and trust might have been what sent Josh Gordon out the door. If there’s one thing for sure we know about Brown, he’s as unhinged as they come, and the last thing the Patriots need on top of their current struggles is another distraction. As such, Tom Brady likely will have to continue trying to make it work with what he has.

I'm leaning towards agreeing with Clark.

"Not above cheating", "not built on morality".....

Harsh!!

 

[Dude]

I’m on the fence. Would he do more good than harm? A little AB BS could completely derail an already vulnerable offense. I mean the guy is a certified loony. Another question: Is bringing him back a possibility? Thought the deadline was Nov. 30

I also have this question. Is it possible?

I knew there was a line in the sand but I don't know what the date is.

 

[Carnzo]

Don't know the date but he was a Pat's player last but that may mean nothing now.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Don't know the date but he was a Pat's player last but that may mean nothing now.

And as he said, you're still paying me....

Holy shit, a chip off the old block.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports there is no timetable for a decision on potential discipline for free agent WR Antonio Brown.
In other words, don't expect a decision on Brown's standing with the league any time soon. Brown was reportedly cooperative in his meeting with NFL investigators last month. AB is still dealing with the fallout from sexual misconduct allegations, which prompted his release from New England earlier this season. Per La Canfora, Patriots coaches and players would both support a reunion with AB, though that view is not shared by owner Robert Kraft. We wouldn't count on Brown resurfacing until the league makes a ruling on potential discipline for the controversial wide receiver.
resigning him is dumb
