That article is nothing but an illustration of why the Patriots won't cut him.


It is, but its also only being written because its responding to the buzz that he could be cut, obviously

Not around New England, they haven't.
"A release doesn’t seem like the probable outcome this weekend from this viewpoint, but the idea has gained enough traction that it’s worth wondering if this is Brissett’s last stand."

That's from a Patriots beat writer, so it's not true that the idea is not being floated out there.

I just cited the uncertainty of Brady and Garoppolo in 2018. You countered with a 2008 draft pick.

Not sure how that "deflated my argument"

I'm not really making an argument. JB isn't getting cut. He wasn't even on the bubble last night.

Based off the way you were talking about the route running and separation ability of practice squad talent like Austin Carr, just briefly after saying how you didn't watch much of the 4th preseason game?

You're either a Patriots coach or someone who likes playing the role of know-it-all.

Either way. You're entertaining. Carry on.
i watched the first 3. the 4th game is always garbage that gets cut.

carr may be a nice practice squad piece...like some jooish kid who used to play QB at kent state. he became something. maybe carr will too.

i like jacoby. i just dont see him making the team. why are you buying so much into the 4th preseason game where he was throwing against DB's who will be working at wendys in a week?

So Carr's preseason matters, but JB's doesn't?

Brady, Davey, Huard for two years. I could give more. For a Patriots coach, you don't remember much about their roster history.

Yes that is correct
its simple math. you lost your best, and the leagues best, slot receiver. that opens up a critical spot on the 53. do you use it on another receiver to replace the body you lost (not that he starts, just a roster spot), a backup (3rd) TE you traded for on draft day whos played very well, or a 3rd QB who hasnt shown substantial growth when playing with the first team?

What news to wake up to after this week which continues to be an emotional rollercoaster.

Astros needed to make something happen in the starting pitching department.

I sure hope Verlander can swim.

I'm thinking Trump made this happen...you know, to boost morale an shit

its simple math. you lost your best, and the leagues best, WHITE slot receiver. that opens up a critical spot on the 53 FOR A WHITE GUY. do you use it on another WHITE receiver to replace the body you lost (not that he starts, just a roster spot), a backup (3rd) WHITE TE you traded for on draft day whos played very well, or a 3rd BLACK QB who hasnt shown substantial growth when playing with the first team?



Guess who is most in danger of being cut?

You do it with neither.

You replace Edelman's touches via Lewis, Burkhead and Amendola.

Not with someone named Austin Carr.
