"Dude looks like a Brady"

Horrible trade. Kraft won't let anyone trade Brady. The Brissett trade is hot crap too.

Yep I commented earlier this year the Pats fucked up trading both QBs, and really fucked up trading a now starting QB for a crappy WR. Dumb moves this year by the Pats

No one expected Luck to be gone for more than 3 games, let alone an entire year. Brissett has not shined anywhere near what some people think. JG on the other hand is now 5-0 as a starter. But quit shitting on the trade. Brady is due $22M next year and JG would have been $@%M as a franchise and he would not have resigned with the Patriots for any less. Worse the Jets would have stepped up and paid him $35M a year just to torment the Patriots and believe me, JG would have tormented the Patriots for the next 15 years.

$@%M

That should have been $25M

Yeah we all know what it was done as it relates to JG. But we still gave up a QB for piece of dung WR.

Weren't you also the guy who commented that no assessment of whether Jimmy was actually any good could be made until he had at least two years' worth of starts under his belt? Or am I mixing you up with the other guy with "Yankee" in his user name?

No I never said that.

So Brady is simply not throwing to one of the best receivers on the team? Weird.

We traded a QB for a former #1 WR.
He has caught 67% of his passes.
He has gotten only 12 throws in 13 games.
Dorsett caught his only throw in 25 snaps against the Steelers.

Part of Brady's problem is he is focusing on Gronk and Cooks......
He started the game spreading the passes to other receivers.
He then went back to forcing the ball to Gronk and Cooks.
We would not have needed the epic series by Gronk if Brady had continued to spread the ball to more receivers.

Josh?????

It's obvious TB12 and Josh have zero confidence in Dorsett, could be attitude, could be route running, he could be injured, he is a decoy, could be setting him for the playoffs where he is maybe covered by the #3 or #4DB who knows, but so far he's been as useless as tits on bull

Patriots notebook: Wide receiver Phillip Dorsett ready to contribute whenever call comes his way

 

[BigKen]

Nobody has said a word about Rex Burkhead. He did sprain his knee yesterday. No ACL oir MCL damage. My guess is that he sits for the next two week and Gillislee gets a chance to redeem himself.

The Brissett trade would not be if we actually threw a few passes to Dorsett![/QUOT
If I could give a double winner rating...

Why did they pick up the flag for lineman downfield on the Steelers first touchdown? At least one was 3 yds downfield and a second was too depending on when downfield is determined (is a time of throw, reception or ball crossing los?).

I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed.

Why Steelers' 1st touchdown vs. Patriots shouldn't have counted

Disagree. Dorsett had a bad game against NYJ because brady threw him the ball when he was double/triple covered. Other than that he has not been targeted .ore than twice in a game.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

Yuck!!!


I think Britt is going to be pretty involved come the next few weeks and beyond. He is clearly the big WR we need. I think once Hogan comes back (playoffs), you'll see Dorsett inactive.

Good thing we have Gills coming back to replace Rex...not to bad if you ask me.

Anyone know if HT can come back this yr???

Exact;y at this point one can assume its because he's failed to pick up the system, but for what ever reason YB has little or no confidence in him. I really don 't know what you or anyone sees in the guy.

OKay so and? The fact he didn't see a single snap should tell us all something. Look we traded a QB for over rated WR its the truth.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

I really don 't know what you or anyone sees in the guy.

1) He's got 4.3 speed.
2) He has good hands.
3) He gets open down field.

What is not to like?
I get it. Tom does not like him. Tom is a way better judge of receiver than I will ever be.
Tom tried to throw Chad Johnson the ball, he does not throw Phillip the ball.

Theoretically he could come back for the playoffs if they don't use the other return designation before then, but I highly doubt he'd be able to come back from a torn pec after only 8 weeks.

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

He needed surgery for that, no way he'd be ready to play before the season's over.
