Time to trade Brady?

[greenpride32]

You can win with O or D; it doesn't matter. As long as you score more points you win.  Of course if you're strong on both sides of the ball even better.  You also have to remember with football it's just one game not a series like in other sports; really anything can happen especially if there are big plays.

I think someone earlier in the thread brought up a great point; the Pats D this year is nothing special.  But they had no pressure during the regular season because the O gave them such big leads.  And it sort of forced the hand of the other team to throw every play.  The Pats played behind almost the entire game in this one.  

In the Jets game the D gave up some big plays but you also have to look at the great field position for the Jets.  They made all the big plays.  If the Pat's O showed up they could have easily have put up more than 28 points.  But all in all this was a team loss, certainly not the fault of the QB or one player.

Also, This wasnt a Brady issue IMO.  This is a schematic issue against the Jets defense. 

Brady used play action incredibly ineffectively last night.  Going into last nights game the Jets have owned the pats on play action. 

When brady uses play action against the rest of the NFL
Comp pct 71.8 
Yds/att 11.1 
TD-Int 15-3
Passer rtg 130.2


Play action against the Jets
Comp pct 33.3
Yds/Att 2.9
TD-INT 0-1
Passer Rtg 14.6

The thought of trading Tom Brady is ridiculous. We're talking about one of the best QB to ever play the game. Mark Sanchez is in no way shape or form a better QB than Brady. That is all.

I wouldn't trade Tom Brady if I was BB or Bob Kraft.

I'd rather get some help through the draft and FA. Chad Ochocinco would be nice in order to make defenses honest against the Pats.

As I read the posts, I was wondering: "a trade post and nobody has still mentioned BBD?".

So why not sharing BBD's services with the Patriots?

He could be a two-sport star, get all the media attention and hype... he would be the 6th man the Celtics need at a reasonable tag price, and also he could be the Star of the O-line for the Pats.

Would it be possible or even legal under the current CBA?

I would not even entertain the idea if I was the GM of the Patriots just because he is one of the best out there. If I would contemplate trading anyone it might be Meriweather but even that might be far fetched cause he ain't the best but he is not even close to being the worst.

Not bad, Big Baby would definitely pack a punch and has good hands. While we're at it, if we do trade Brady (which would obviously be a horrendous idea), Rondo would probably be a more than adequate back up and would be super-agile. I just wonder how his deep ball would be.

are you serious with this post? This just seems like a ridiculous idea thrown out there made to get a bunch of people riled up. Cus it makes no sense at all.

  It kind of makes sense if you could trade Brady for a Trent Dilfer type...

Maybe, just maybe if the Pats had a top defense then I could begin to reason a Brady trade.  If they had a defense like the Steelers, the Ravens, the Jets or the Packers then all they need is a game manager.  At this point they don't, they have an OK defense that can be shut down when spotted a big lead.  In order to get that big lead they need a QB that can put points on the board.  So unless they are getting Rogers or Rivers in return for Brady, then you are making the team worse for the forseeable future and I don't mean a little worse I mean 4-12 worse.

Also wdeehli, they have 8 picks in the first 4 rounds.  They need to add a defensive and offensive lineman in the early rounds particularly since Light and Mankins are FAs and Koppen is getting up there in age. 

Another running back wouldn't hurt, but their running game wasn't terrible this year and I see them staying with Benny and Danny. 

I don't see them going for another receiver with Welker, Branch, Edelman, Tate and Price on the roster and two pass catching TEs. 

Maybe another defensive back, although they'd be better off bringing in a veteran in the secondary considering the youth back there. 

Personally even if Bill trades away some of those picks there are plenty left to bring in a QB, especially if there is one available in the 2nd or 3rd round that they like.

Does it really? It seems to me what you suggested would be like taking one step forward and then 5 steps back.

Absolutely not! What we need to do is go get a top of the line WR or RB.  We need one piece of elite talent to be around Brady.  In the draft going after Julio Jones or Mark Ingram would make sense.  If not, I think you need to go after guys via free agency/trade.  Welker/Branch aren't #1 WR's.  They are a great #2/#3 though.  Green-Ellis is a solid back, but he's not elite.  Woodhead is a great 3rd down/change of pace back, but nothing really more than that.  If you go get an elite WR, I have no issue with Green-Ellis as the starting back.  Same with if we get an elite RB.  There's no issue with Welker/Branch being 1/2.

I haven't read the entire thread. I'm a Redskins Fan. As for this thread -

What??

Send him to Washington if you don't want him

Isnt this pretty much like saying the Magic should trade Dwight for Perk because Perk has a Title and Dwight doesnt?

No, but considering Dwight may not have what it takes to lead a team to a ring, and that he's overpaid in that sense, and considering that he may not even come back then yes, they should definitely be looking into what they might be able to get for him and not be looking to pull a Cleveland

Except when there's a playoff game happening in Foxboro and the Pats have an extra week to get ready. Then Brady is in no way shape or form the better QB.  He's not better than Eli Manning in a Super Bowl either.

Of course I'm probably just trying to be contradictory to say such a thing, right?  I mean the results don't speak for themselves or anything.
