OT is Brady trying to be a hero

Just setting it up, huh Whaler? As a Pats fan, I'm not even feeling all that great about this one.

I would have rather played Pittsburgh personally. Pats almost always beat the Steelers.

I don’t care who wins.

My only interest is I bought a single Jacksonville can of Bud Light during the summer. The joke being I’d drink it when they won the Super Bowl. It has probably frozen 3 times in the garage this winter.

Will it make it two more weeks?

It’s road Blake Bortles. If you lose there aren’t excuses.

If Tom Brady goes 5-25 with 5 interceptions, I'm going with the hand. ;)

I’d go with giving away a franchise quarterback for a second round pick if I was interested in making excuses.

Fair. No idea what else they could have done with him though. Keep him for a half a year in case Brady gets hurt?

Just setting up the excuse in case they lose. Easiest path to Superbowl in playoff history. If they lose it will be talked about daily on sports center. If he plays and they win he will go down as a folk lore sports hero for his performance

^^^^THIS

Different sport, same logic.

Whats our so called Willis Reed moments for Uconn. Shabazz playing on sick stomach from 7/11 wings, Shabazz coming back near the end of the Nova game in round of 32, Emeka back spasms in the 04 season, Boatright turning his ankle against UK in title game.

Pretty much most of what Selvie did.

Oh man please don’t compare anything to the Paul Pierce wheel chair incident. That was truly an embarrassment. Pierce is softer than Charmin. His recent crying about Isaiah Thomas just solidified it.

And yes, Brady is doing a “hey look at me! I’m going to play with an injury!” Routine.

Just shut up and play Tom.

So, by not saying anything about his injury, he is drawing attention to himself. If he said something about it (and we know over the years Brady constantly talks about his injuries) then that would be the equivalent of NOT saying anything about it.
 
intlzncster said:
Sure there are plenty of attention seekers, that doesn't make everybody, or even half the guys, the same. Again, for 15 years he acts nothing like that, and now, because something happened (clearly, as he didn't practice), he's all of a sudden an attention seeker? Makes absolutely no sense, but ok.
Expand ...

And to top it off, he hasn't even said anything about his hand! LOL.
 
A lot of people have thought that Brady has brought attention too himself more then he ever did the majority of his career with his TB12 method and having his trainer preach it to the team, and doing more commercials its like hes trying to cash in on what he could have done earlier in his career,and there is a conspiracy that Brady went to Kraft to get Jimmy G off the Pats. Bottom line all athletes have ego even the most humble ones.

The amount of winning this guy does is unbelievable. 7 straight championship games? 12 overall in his 16 seasons? Ridiculous. He makes it to this game 75% of the time.

Why would Brady need to go to Kraft to get Garoppolo off the Patriots? Garoppolo was leaving this summer either way.

As for the trainer, people don't even seem to realize that Brady met that guy IN the Patriots locker room, as he was the personal trainer for Patriots from the 1990s before Brady even got there.

Im just saying what I have heard from the Boston media and Colin Cowherds Brady-Belichick conspiracy, I didnt say I believed it I think most of it is garbage. Now does Brady have an ego of course he does thats what make him great.

Boston sports media is the worst. THE worst. Makes Stephen A and Kellerman look like quality analysts.

You can either trade him for a 2nd, or hold on to him for the rest of the year. If he walks after the season, the patriots get a comp 3rd in 2019. Seems like a no brainer just to hold on to him.

Belichick is about loyalty. Just looking at how things went, consider who he traded Garoppolo to and when. Belichick is loyal to the Shanahan family. It's also so Jimmy G can get a hefty contract. The NFC West is stacked now anyway.

I was hoping they'd trade Brady and keep Jimmy G, but Brady won out. If Brady wins #6, trading Garappolo works out fine.

I am not one of those “you want to beat the best” yokels.

I want to beat the 16 seed in the national title game if at all possible.

Please cheer for the Eagles this weekend. Thank you. :D

A little more nuanced than that.

That potential 3rd rounder is at the end of the round, so it's more like the 1st pick of the fourth round (approx #108).

At the time of the trade, San Fran was one 1-10, so you're thinking a top 5 pick*. That would effectively get you a pick at the start of the 2nd round. That's a two round difference. Pick 35 or so vs Pick 108. Which is huge. That's leaving aside the fact that the comp pick is a year later, which drops it's value even further.

Additionally, the vagaries of the compensatory formula comes into play, depending on who leaves the team, and who signs with the team. eg You could potentially lose out on a pick at the back end. Hard to say how it would all shake out.

*San Fran went on a run so the pick got worse in value

For sure those people put out stories, but even basic questions poke holes in them. The 2 QBs could not be on the Patriots next year, and Brady's contract makes him uncuttable and untradeable, which is why Belichick scoffed when the 49ers asked for Brady.

Except when he plays against Eli Manning in the Super Bowl. ;)
