But I thought the hooded one did the shopping????

At least BB, as big of an ego as he has, is smart enough to know a bust is a bust and let them go. If it were the Jets, they'd extend him and make sure he saw the field so that they can pretend they are getting production out of draft picks.

[kelticwizard]

So I take it they won't be drafting the QB who eventually replaces Brady in the second round?

They already have that guy on the roster.

Well he's taken his teams to 5 Super Bowls in the last 12 years, and drafted maybe the greatest QB of his generation in the 6th round, so I'll look at the big picture and give him a pass on Ron Brace and some of the other "busts".

When I think of how long we held onto to ghoulston and are still hanging on to ducasse, I can't help but think that the cutting of early draft picks by bellichek is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Yeah, he liked Brady so much he left him out there for 198 picks. Genius.

It doesn't matter so long as you have a great QB.

If Sanchez didn't suck so bad, Tanny would be viewed as a front office genius and Rex a hall of fame caliber head coach.

Sign the beast after a Pouha trade, duh.

[Smashmouth]

And your thoughts on the 5 Super Bowls in 12 years?

Was that luck, too?

Oh, excuse me, I thought we were talking about the Brady pick. My mistake.

We're talking about the body of work.

He must be doing something right... he has 3 rings.
