edjr 6,228 Posted January 8, 2018 I like the part where Brady is a ###### to his backups, but when Hoyer comes in he is described as a "longtime friend". Yeah a "longtime friend" who used to be his backup. Name one QB (or any player) in the history of history who has been overly friendly with the guy trying to take his job That was the big rub on Harrison, he wasn't nice to the young guys trying to take his job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I laughed when it was Montana, Favre, etc. It looks like Brady took it to the next level with demanding the guy be traded though, allegedly of course, that's next level stuff.

TD Ryan2 316 Posted January 8, 2018 Belchick, "we've had the best QB situation in the league for 2.5 years... it's just not sustainable, given the way that things are set up... not something we wanted to walk away from... we rode it out as long as we could and explored every option to try to sustain it... at this point, we had to make a decision" What's so hard to understand about this? What does unsustainable mean? - salary cap, unsustainable - JG's career needed to move forward - TB is still playing at elite levels something had to give... and in the end, the Patriots did what was best for the PEOPLE involved - they made Brady Happy, they made Jimmy happy, they made Kraft's Accountant happy... "who" took a hit a bit was the NE organization as a whole, not a person individually. Could NE have gotten more? Sure, but they'd have focked JG, Brady, and maybe Kraft's accountant. Who say Bill doesn't have a heart? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 8, 2018 No one really knows the troof, but I believe this more than he sat by and did nothing Well the interesting part of the story was that Jimmy G couldn't get into the TB12 area for therapy after he hurt his shoulder last year. That would be pretty cold, if true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 6,228 Posted January 8, 2018 I don't know about "overly friendy" since the claim was "famously unhelpful". If it's so common why would someone describe Brady as "famous" for it? Unless maybe the article was just a focking hatchet job. And if he's so "famously unhelpful", why are him and Hoyer buds? Hoyer must be a focking idiot. Also, you're listening to butt-hurt Steelers fans now? That was never a "rub" on Harrison until he became a Pat and they had to find some semi-valid reason to hate him. Here's James Harrison not helping TJ Watt take his job; feel free to read the adoring comments from Steeler fans. so he's helping for the camera if only the camera was on him 100% of the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parrot 789 Posted January 8, 2018 There is SOMETHING here. It's not all 100% made up. There probably was a meeting between Kraft and Belichick where the QB position was discussed and they both realized there was NO FOCKING WAY they were keeping both TB and JG past the end of the season. Brady is still looking good, and is a fan icon, so Jimmy needs to go now if they are going to get anything for him. That's all that had to happen for events to unfold like they have. No demands from Brady or mandates from Kraft, or hurt feelings from Bill. I'm sure Brady is upset over not being Patriot of the Week though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parrot 789 Posted January 8, 2018 what does that have to do with the price of handjobs in Bangkok? Maybe the fact that you took one chunk of a single sentence; "Brady is still looking good, and is a fan icon, so Jimmy needs to go now if they are going to get anything for him. " It's pretty clear I made that statement in the context of a hypothetical Kraft/Belichick exchange prior to the JG trade if you're not being intentionally obtuse. Brady is still the favorite for MVP even though he kind of sh!t the bed down the stretch, which means he was playing REALLY well prior to the trade. HTH.
