Who is your Favorite patriot to have played for them. For me it nis Troy Brown. He one of the most unselfish NFL players . He Holds the Patriots record for most catches and points scored for the patriots. he earned the name Mr. patriots by playing WR, KR,PR,CB. I can not say enough good thing about him.

Mo Lewis= Ex Lax

Bledsoe was gonna get benched for TFB, it was just a matter of time (And not too much more from the sounds of it); Chances were pretty good that TFB was going to get the nod the next week anyways. All Mo did was speed up the process. Still, it was a hell of a play on his part- THANK YOU MO!!

Ayup.

Anyone remember 2000? Back when "Bledsoe vs. Bishop" was a hot topic? The Pats made the rare move of keeping FOUR quarterbacks: Bledsoe, Bishop, veteran John Friesz, and some skinny no-name 6th-round rookie QB named Tom Brady. A lot of us wondered, "Why the hell are they keeping four quarterbacks? Why aren't they just cutting this rookie and putting him on the practice squad?" Easy: because Belichick had already decided that Brady was too valuable to possibly lose.

By the time the first game of 2001 rolled around, Bishop was gone, and the 6th-round fourth-string rookie had suddenly vaulted over Friesz and was the backup. A lot of us wondered, "Why the hell is the fourth-string sixth-round rookie now the backup over a vet like Friesz?" Easy: because Belichick could already see the potential of Brady.

If Bledsoe hadn't been whacked by Mo Lewis, and the Pats struggled, and Bledsoe didn't look so hot, a lot of us would've been wondering, "How the hell could Belichick bench a future Hall-of-Famer like Bledsoe for this young Brady kid?!?" (And Belichick would've done it without blinking. See "Kosar vs. Testaverde".)

This is why Belichick does what he does, and we aren't coaches.

From Wikipedia-

Patriot Reign is a best-selling book by Boston Globe/New York Times sports writer Michael Holley resulting from two years he was given unprecedented access (as if he were a fly on the wall) to the inner sanctums of the world champion New England Patriots football operations as they worked to turn a good luck year into a legitimate contender of a team. Holley spent his days tracking the behind the scenes operations in the New England Patriots organization between their first and second Super Bowl (Super Bowl XXXVI and Super Bowl XXXVIII) wins, sitting in on meetings of all kinds, and never being asked to exclude anything. Prohibited from nothing, Holley roamed the managerial meetings and team areas normally closed to the press and conducted in depth interviews with scouts, coaches, and other Patriots insiders up to and including owner Robert Kraft and his son and President of the Patriots, Jonathan Kraft.

In 2001, Bishop played for the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe. He started six games for the Galaxy, and completed 76 of 153 passes for 1,090 yards, including 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also gained 244 yards on 35 carries (7.0 avg.) and scored one rushing touchdown. Bishop was released by the Patriots in August, 2001. Bishop was then signed by the Green Bay Packers but was cut before the regular season.
