124 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 PATS CALLED SIMMS, RATTAY BEFORE BRADY INJURY Posted by Michael David Smith on September 9, 2008, 4:03 p.m. The odd story about the New England Patriots inviting Chris Simms and Tim Rattay to New England, only to ask them to leave without even working them out, turns out to be a bit different than it first appeared. Everyone has assumed that the Patriots called Simms and Rattay only because they needed a quarterback when Tom Brady got hurt, but Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that in reality, the Patriots made plans to bring Simms and Rattay to town on Saturday, before Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury. So apparently the Patriots were interested in Simms and Rattay only as backups to Brady, and once it was clear that there would be no backup to Brady because Brady would spend the season on injured reserve, they didn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 So who will be their #3? Can't see them going with only 2. Most likely will resign their Preseason #4, Matt Guiterrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillerPaul Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 That's confusing. They invited the 2 QB's to town only to uninvite them, am i reading that right? And they wanted them BEFORE Brady got hurt but now they don't? I don't get it but then again that's why BB is the genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's actually a smart move by belly. time to rally around what you got to save further dissaray & confusion. once we stomp their asses then he can bring in a new guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 It's because they needed a third back-up. Say Brady goes down (he did) and Cassell goes down (anything can happen) they sure as heck can't put O'Connell in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I start calling him a noodle shoulder? What's this noodle leg crap anyway? He's a QB. Jets fans have some nerve. Their KICKER goes down. KICKER. You know - the guy that kicks the ball with his leg. KICKER. Can I call him noodle leg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess ya can technically call the kicker noodle leg, i'm sure it won't bother Jets fan much these days tho. BTW i got a good long look see at my teams future should Ben go down to injury.

GodWearsAGrayHoodie Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have to think sending them home was meant as a way to instill confidence in Matt Cassel. I expect that Guiterrez will either be signed to the team or at the very least the practice squad by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_monkey Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 There are no good QBs available, so it's a choice between a crappy QB that knows the system, or a crappy QB that is new to the team. To me it's either stick to what they have or trade for a decent QB and go for broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's either stick to what they have or trade for a decent QB and go for broke. Was thinking that myself. I'd bet that should Cassel falter the first few weeks they may just trade for a vet to try n salvage a playoff run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
