Looking at the Patriots - 2019

[Patriots71]

Let TFB do whatever he feels like is best for his own good...just as long as he can deliver the goods.

At 42 this might be planned. People are acting like BB is furious and the whole team hates Brady because he is not going to OTA's. I am not sure that is the case, I think everyone is on the same page on this. BB is not really one of those coaches that would just let something go unless he was ok with it.

 

[Patriots71]

I'd probably have an issue with it if TFB was on a serious decline and the team was in suckmode.

But getting to 3 straight SBs and winning 3 in 5 years at his age has created a significant amount of leeway in my mind. And I assume with BB too. If he and/or Kraft REALLY ABSOLUTELY believed Brady MUST be there for the good of the team, I'm sure he'd be there.

I think if the first part was true, then Brady would not even be here. I am not sure if its leeway or if the team feels he can do his own workouts and the rest is 42 year old management. As you said, if this was a huge deal with BB, then this would not be happening. I do not know the reason for it, or what the team thinks behind closed doors, but I am not sure its the major explosion the media and some fans will make it.

Ya, I meant leeway from me as a fan.

Tom will be there for OTAs, just not VOLUNTARY OTAs. Everyone remember the definition of voluntary?

vol·un·tar·y
/ˈvälənˌterē/
adjective
1.done, given, or acting of one's own free will.

It's kinda like the pieces of flair in Idiocracy though...

Mahomes recounts what Brady said to him in the KC lockerroom after the AFCCG. Classy from Tom.

Brady makes up for the voluntary works by the extra two weeks of practice for the super bowl every year........... I couldn’t believe this was an issue last year, to see it come up again is mind blowing

I remember watching Jimmy G throwing to Tyms before a game a few years ago thinking that this was the future. :shrug_n:

 

[mooseontheloose]

LOL Tyms. He was hella hyped around here by a few and then he disappeared into the abyss.

How can anyone look so damn good and then fall off the map?

Edit: Actually, there were quite a few of them, but anticipation of a great player and getting excited for the future is part of the fun for some of us. Hopeless optimists.

Plus we always read about Brady getting together on his own with receivers to do some throwing. I suspect he does that more often than we know.

Sealver Siliga jumped out at me as the only one on the list who made a real impact. Albeit a brief one.

Yup...I was all on that hype train. I admit it too...

yup, the rest were a collection of WHO?

I remember when Tre Jackson and Shaq Mason were always mentioned together.


Safe to say only one of them really reached his potential.

funny isn't it. he played early as he was more polished than Shaq but he is hurt and that knee injury is serious shit.

I remember he caught a long ball from Brady against the Bills (I think) and I was really hyped. He looked Moss'esque.

It didn't last long, though.
