MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Drew Bledsoe's numbers in the all-powerful Belichick/Patriots system: 18 games/starts 597 attempts 352 completions 59% completion rate 3,691 yards 6.2 YPA 19 TDs 15 INTs 77.1 QB Rating 5 wins 13 losses That's one heck of a system. True. The defense was AMAZING in 2000 (and the first game of 2001). Thank goodness for the Pats Brady's addition made the defense better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Donahoe Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Okay let's see. We have a better RB better receivers better safeties better LBers They have better Oline better Dline Push on the corners overall So overall, we are probably very comparable. I am one who thinks line play is very important, and therefore give them more weight then the other spots. 417925[/snapback] I'm talking about the Pats and Eagles. Taking the QBs out of it, the Pats have less talent than the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 T.O.? Ever heard of this guy? He's making headlines these days. True. That Branch is a scrub. SB MVP means nothing, right? Ah but wait, Brady makes Branch look good. Check out McNabb's numbers with a star-less WR corps (like Brady has). You're right. 4 straight trips to the NFCCG (remember that TO missed the playoffs this past year). He sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Tom Brady 417723[/snapback] Yep, Brady would immediately make us one of the favorites in the AFC, if not the favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndZoneCrew Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Dwight Freeney....imagine him opposite of Schobel with this defense....plus...throw in the fact that he went to the CUSE!...NICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, there's some intangible missing with the guy when it comes to competitiveness. He makes more dumb mistakes / comes up small under pressure than any marquee QB I've seen in the last decade. My pick's Jonathan Ogden, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Donahoe Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 True. That Branch is a scrub. SB MVP means nothing, right? Ah but wait, Brady makes Branch look good. Are you actually comparing Deion Branch to Terrell Owens? Don't get me wrong, I love what Branch brings as a player and he's proven to be a great big game guy, but his talent level is not close to Owens'. The guy's 5'7", for crying out loud! You're right. 4 straight trips to the NFCCG (remember that TO missed the playoffs this past year). He sucks! Nice straw man there. So with comparable offensive talent and superior defense around him, McNabb has consistently led his team to be 1-2 games worse than Brady's? But if McNabb were on the Patriots, he'd have led them to 5 Super Bowl wins? Not sure I follow your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Donahoe Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I'll accept your admission of defeat. Instead of doing that, why don't you compare Bledsoe's offensive numbers in the all-powerful Belichick/Weis/Patriots system to Brady's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 LT from the Chargers. Trade Magehee for a decent left side O Lineman. 418244[/snapback] I am not sure that LT is better than Willis, and LT seems to have just as many durablity issues. But I really like your thinking in bringing in a top-tier player with the intent of trading the guy we have in that position -- turning this dream pick into two picks.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 It's so hard to pick one player, but two immeditatly sprang to mind 1. Ed Reed- Safety imo is quickly becoming the most important position in the defensive secondary and the 2 teams with the best safety "tandems" were in the superbowl last year, however you can't go wrong with the best overall safety in the nfl. 2. Jake Delhomme- I love what this guy brings to the table, and hella underrated. Classic Game manager with the ability to put up #'s and win games for you.

IMHO Tomilinson is the running back in the NFL right now. Not saying Willis couldnt be there in the future but right now he isnt in LT's league.
