Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
HOORAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S MISFORTUNE!
Jerk.
Wishing ill on someone, even if it's just some celebrity or sports star, is a pretty horrible thing to do. I'm not even religious but wow.
Remind me when you make yet another thread for something unimportant like breaking your own leg or needing to go into surgery to cheer for you never to recover or for the surgery to fail.Comment

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
I was interested in this thread, then I saw who posted it. Really was rooting for a decent thread. Thanks Tass or saving it.
Anyways, it was only good to see Brady get hurt because it gives some other big time QBs a chance to shine this year. I think that Brady easily could have had his season last year again this year. He'll be back next year, kicking ass I'm sure.
Oh, by the way, like Tass said, the Patriots are a good team. Although the QB is a major part of the whole operation, he isn't everything. Look at the bad receivers that Favre had to deal with in GB. He's a great QB, but if they can't catch the ball, nothing will happen. The Patriots will make the playoffs, but I don't think they will get past the 2nd round.Funny stuff goes in this area right?Comment

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
We'll see how Matt Cassel will fair in the next 15 weeks before Playoffs. You can't just say they won't get past the 2nd round so easily. Remember, Brady replaced an injured Drew Bledsoe and they ended up SB Champions. As long as the team concept is in play, if Cassel ends up being the back up he should be, then I can see them being a very productive team in the playoffs.
btw, UnholyDaemon. You can't call any game easy...Last edited by Kotarouchan; 09-8-2008, 04:06 PM.

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
Tass wins this thread, and every other Profootball thread.
I'm looking at this situation as chance for the Pats to shut up everyone that's like "OH THE PATS SUCK DEY CANT DO NUTHIN WITHOUT BRADY", or any other person who criticizes New England for no particular reason other than possible jealousy. Brady and the Patriots (and every other northern team for that matter) are not well liked where I live in the south, and I hear allllllllll sorts of bs about the pats like "theyre only good cuz they have a good O-line", or "Brady's only good cuz he has good recievers", etc etc etc. So I see it like if the Pats can do well without their star player, then maybe they can silence a lot of their critics.
Sucks for Brady and New England though..... :/Originally posted by dAnceguy117Originally posted by ArntonachOriginally posted by MrGigglesComment

Hang yourself. You have no idea what you are talking about and you're a disgrace to humanity.
So much for your sorry ass leaving. You didn't even clear 48 hours..

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
Crazy prediction for this year: Matt Cassel pulls a Tom Brady (when he replaced Bledsoe back in the day and won a superbowl).
Seriously though, I've never liked Brady or Belichick, mainly because of the way they go about their business - with a snobbish attitude. I do feel for him and his coach though...injuries like this ruin careers, and we'll look back at Tom Brady's 2008 season and always think "what if". I guess I have always appreciated Tom Brady but never really liked his methods, but after this injury, just think about what Belichick and his staff are going through; they put all of their marbles in one bag, and somehow, the bag broke (cheesy, I know, but effective).
And please...when it comes to the Eagles, I live in Philly, and the same thing will happen again - they'll catch the injury bug (especially McNabb), the lack of a physical running game will catch up to them, and train will fall apart around Week 10-12.Last edited by aTzUeLo1191; 09-8-2008, 06:14 PM.Comment

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
Oh dear, OrganisM has posted in this thread. Everyone who disagrees with him, prepare to get flamed.
And Tass, it IS true that he is, at the very least, a very good quarterback. He is well above average for a starting QB in the NFL and probably in the top 5. But you'd be amazed at how great a QB can look when his offensive line can protect for so long, you have enough to make a blanket and give it to a baby in the stands, then throw the ball. That's the only problem I have with the whole thing. Yeah, he is good. Yeah, Moss is good. But without that line, they wouldn't have done snot last season. So look for Cassel to do pretty well under these circumstances, as long as that line holds up.
Brady still has a little bit to prove to me before I write him off as better than Peyton right now.
Alas, this won't have any affect. The Pats will still make the playoffs behind a high powered offense, even lacking Brady, and an alright defense. It's too early in the season to tell how far they will make it though.
tl;dr Pats o-line deserves more credit, Pats still make playoffs, and Peyton > Brady.Originally posted by Jerry DB

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
Tom Brady is so overrated. Right. Remember his first season, where the Patriots started out 0-2? He took over, and they went from a bad team to a Super Bowl champion team. That's how important he is to the Patriots.
The only quarterback who can compare to him is Peyton Manning. Both are extremely accurate and run their offenses to perfection. Both have great supporting casts, but they both make their entire offense better through their superior preparation and skill.
Will the Pats make the playoffs? I think so. I hope so. But they will not be anything close to a great team like their recent Super Bowl.
As a sidenote, you are a horrible football fan (and human being) if you are glad he got injured. He is one of the greatest players in the league and his absence will be bad for football as a whole. Even as a fan of another team, you have to admit it's fun to watch Tom Brady and the Patriots' offense work their magic. Just like I hate the Colts but I love to watch their offense demolish teams (providing that team isn't the Pats
).

;klasjf;laksjfda;lskfjas;lkfjasfd;lkj This is kinda what I was talking about. Not going in to it.
Brady's record breaking season last year + Peyton's "rusty" performence in a loss yesterday not enough?

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
Brady is one of the best QB in the making of history today. And he is not overrated. He is the best and matt cassel could do it bcuz in 2001-02 season Drew Bedsloe got seriously injured and Tom Brady took his spot as starting QB they won their first super bowl.
Matt Cassel is gonna take the pats to Super Bowl 43 against the Dallas Cowboys and hopefully Brady will be backComment

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
I think it's better for other people to have a chance at being the star. I really don't think that the Patriots will reach the Super Bowl. I really just don't think that.
SB XLII Prediction: Chargers vs. Cowboys
Also, I sort of disagree with whoever said that the Patriots have an easy schedule. It's mostly not the schedule, but their division. There is no option. They have to play those teams, whether the rest of the NFL wants them to or not.
And the division that they have to play in the NFC (the NFC West) was required because that's how the schedule was set up. They played the NFC South in 2005, the NFC North in 2006, and the NFC East in 2007, so they had to play the NFC West, and that division just happens to be filled with crappy teams (Arizona, San Francisco, and St. Louis)
Don't you think that if the NFL could control their schedule, they would? That's what happened with the Cleveland Browns, last year, they went 10-6, but mostly because of a bad division (excluding the Steelers) and an easy schedule. This year, they got a harder schedule, and it showed on Sunday, when the Dallas Cowboys blew them out.Comment

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
footbull: you prove the point, man... they have an easy schedule THIS YEAR. their opponents winning percentage from last year is the lowest in the NFL, giving them the easiest schedule. yes, that is BECAUSE they play in the AFC East. yes it is because they play the NFC West this year. that's WHY they have an easy schedule. you can't try to take those facts and say they do not have an easy schedule.
their hard games come from the fact that they won their division and therefore have to play the 3 division winners from the other AFC divisions... pittsburgh, indy, and san diego. their only hard games of the year.RIPComment

Re: Tom Brady is out for the Year
Did I say that the o-line was the ONLY reason they were good? Hell no. They are a GREAT team. I just think the o-line deserves a ton more credit then they get. All the focus gets on Brady and Moss, who are both great players. I just think the o-line deserves to get a little more, rather BRADY BRADY BRADY.
That's like saying, hey Shaun Alexander(at the time) broke the all-time touchdown record. And since the previous holder had a bad last, that makes Alexander better than him.Brady's record breaking season last year + Peyton's "rusty" performence in a loss yesterday not enough?
I know that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you can't really base one season on anything. Alexander had that one AMAZING season, then never did crap. Brady has had 6 good seasons, and that was his AMAZING one. I base whom is better on overall career, and, granted it's the most important things, but the only thing Brady has Manning beat in is Super Bowl rings. Manning has overall better career numbers, even TD per season, with Brady's great season last year. As well as passing yards per game.
*shrugs* I could just be blind, but I just don't see Brady being better than Peyton.Originally posted by Jerry DBComment
