Brady is leaving New England

[Iggloo]

Nick Foles makes so much sense for the Patriots.

Ooooh. Can you imagine???

Depends on who they have under center. Only time they've missed the playoffs recently is when Brady missed 15 games. Even Belichick isn't good enough to overcome a mediocre QB like Matt Cassel.

They went 11-5

Chargers would be interesting with two QBs, Rivers, 39, and Brady, 43, fighting it out, each averaging over 4,000 yards and 24 TDs, last year.

Rivers is already out, Chargers not bringing him back. As of today, Tyrod Taylor is their top QB.

The Rams trade Jared Goff and sign Tom Brady. Then they trade Todd Gurley.

They might struggle to move either one of those contracts right now.

The Chargers imo need that boost that Brady would bring more than the Rams do....the rest of the squad is close enough to where he can push them into Jan football.

They went 11-5

And missed the playoffs. BB can win with a mediocre QB, but saying they'll be SB favorites with one is a stretch.

profootballtalk is pushing Miami this morning. Lol

The 'Fins are the farthest away from the playoffs but they like to make big FA splash moves in MIA....I'm sure Gisele would like MIA better than Tampa.

He’s managed for nearly 20 years

yup. with a very scaled back playbook. edelman is still here, FYI. hes better than welker ever was. moss was also a shell of himself in 2008. the decline was rapid. it why he was gone a few games into 2010. they squeezed all they could by 2009.

You've forgotten what Welker was in his prime, and that was his second year with the Patriots. Moss's stats dipped with Cassell, but went back up with Brady the following year.

Moss (2008): 69-1008-11
Moss (2009): 83-1264-13

What a shell of a WR, how could anyone win with such dreck?

If you can't beat him and the Pats fans love talking about him:



They trade for him!

Been out of touch, I guess.

I'd love to see that.

 

[mcnabb7542]

I'd love to see that.

So would Pats fans...

 

[Clayton]

Foles on the Patriots would be quite funny

You have to think that the Pats QB spot will be better next year than this regardless of who they go with. Brady and his weapons were pretty bad last year.

Just read that Bill O’Brien is trading Deshaun Watson to the pats for a 6th round pick.

Expecting Winston to outperform Brady based on nothing but that is pretty magical indeed...

2019 Brady: 60.8% completion, 4057 yards passing, 24 TD, 8 INT
2019 Winston: 60.7% completion, 5,100 yards passing, 33 TD, 30 INT {250 yds rushing}

Quick View: If Winston can reduce his INT's, then it is hard to imagine him having a worse season than Brady. Belichik's system is so different from Arian's in Tampa. Belichik preaches limiting turnovers, and Arian's says idgaf if you throw a pick, as long as you throw some TD's too. Winston could easily thrive in the NE system (with the right coaching), and IMO would outperform Brady at this point in his career.

A Pats fan that can't put 2008 in perspective? (sigh)

i went to all 8 home games that year. good times.

??????? Cassel isn't even mediocre. He was crap. And Belichik's system still allowed him to win 10 games that year. They had 11 wins as a team and didnt make the playoffs. I dont have time to check, but I imagine that has happened VERY infrequently in the history of the NFL. Your point is actually a feather in Belichik's cap.

moss had the most drops of his career in 2009. true story. he was markedly slower as well. he was living off reputation more than talent his last year and a few games here. why do you think he was gone after 3 games in 2010, after leading the NFL in touchdown catches the year prior?

 

[GNG]

Tampa? I wonder where he is going.

Some team will pay him what he wants but Belichick knows his skills have diminished.
