Around the NFL Free Agency Thread 2013

what's to hate about the guy? He's a great great QB and has won many rings. He's never been in trouble legally. So what he cries about some stuff, so does peyton Manning

I agree. I think the hatred has alot to do with the fact that he is a multi millionaire hall of famer with an extremely hot girlfriend. I dont hate him, I just hope i come back as him in my next life! (Except as a Redskin of course). Lol

That was one our best years out of 15. We made the playoffs, even with the loss of Sean Taylor. Vinny was looking ok after that season.

Amendola: 12 games played the last 2 seasons, 3 td receptions, 2 fumbles lost = 31 millions dollars.


Good luck with that NE. Welker woulda come back for 2 years 14 million...

Which is the better play?

Welker is 31 while Amendola is 27.

That's the only thing I can come up with.

How often does the Patriots over-pay for a mistake? This could have a huge upside for them. Sucks to be Welker though.

Lol well I cannot say for everyone but I don't hate him, I simply dislike him for dumb reason, he always win. He is great QB with fierce competitiveness, but I really think staying in same offense for years also helped him to appear as one of best QB in NFL history.

I think Bill needs to have his power checked. A lot of his recent personal decision making has not been great. Still a top 5 team in that category though, just not at the top like they used to be. They still do not know how to scout a corner.

I think you could say that about Joe Montana, Steve Young, Aaron Rodgers, even Manning although he switched teams. I think once a coach finds a great QB they make their offense around that player.

Plus the Patriots offense has changed pretty drastically over the years. In 2002 ball control move the chains offense keep the other teams defense on the field, win with clutch play at the end. In 2007 3 receiver set score as many points as possible, downfield passes to Randy Moss. In 2012 Two tight end set (when they were healthy) and run the ball and run as many plays as possible. I think their offense changes based on their personal a lot.

Good points.. What prompted me to believe that Brady has the advantage of staying in same offense is right after the year Cassel played as Chief in his first year. Cassel looked like a decent QB that could improve within time in NE until he was traded to Chiefs and he didn't looked same as he was in NE. This is something that have been debated before and will always be. I guess all we can do is share our opinions.

For the offense changes on NE through out time, of course the offense have to change from time to time or otherwise all other 31 teams will be able to stop them. But I believe think the changes are not that big, just different players running same routes from different positions. Just like Redskins offense, they give you lot of looks but routes are similar.
