Now he will revive his career because well, it is the freaking patriots and then they'll go on to win the super bowl. 2020 sucks.

He's taken too many hits. He could devastate teams when he was a running threat. But he is no Brady when it comes to completions and moving a team down the field. But, if anyone can rehab him, its them.

I think we all find put how valuable Bill was for Brady. For my sanity, I hope I'm wrong.

I think we will also find out how valuable Brady was for Bill. 8)

Maybe but the patriots were always able to maintain even with Brady out wirh injury. I think it was a mutually beneficial relationship but I'm not sure if Brady would have improved like he did under any other coach. It's all hypothetical anyways.

Brady is going to have a much harder time in Tampa. Just my opinion though.

Josh McDaniels with a healthy Cam could be an incredibly fun offense. The key will be if Cam is healthy.

There’s nothing wrong with his head. He’s had foot and shoulder injuries.

But we've seen a lot of players "bounce back" and be scared. They lose their aggression, the edge that got them there. That made them a starter before.

For what it's worth, I think Cam is like the Black Knight from Monty Pyton. He could be nubs and still think he has a shot. But we do have to see it on the field before we know for sure.

I highly doubt the mental aspect you’re speaking about is the same one he was referencing.

I cut the Panthers from being my favorite team after that effort. Redskins all the way nowadays.

I used to think in a similar way. When he lost both coordinators in a single year I thought he was toast. Woops...

Speaking of the Redskins, looks like a name change coming.

I'm a big fan of the work with a tribe and use their name. The Washington Rappahannock would be the best possible one for the branding aspect.

We could just get rid of the franchise. I wouldn't miss them and nothing makes me happier than sad DC sports fans :lol:

I guess since AGG is now a member of that franchise I shouldn't be so spiteful. I just can't help it.

Lived in the region for 7 years now. 7 years too long probably but once you get stuck in the DC hole, they like to save money and keep you around.

I haven't had an NFL team since the Colts left Baltimore in 1983, but now that Brady is gone and AGG is with Washington, I'm warming up to the Pats and the 'Skins. :football :football
But if the teams start kneeling for the National Anthem, they are dead to me! :usa

We need a compromise on this kneeling thing. Kneel and pray for Gods wisdom and a better America for all. Then do the national anthem.

My suggestion for Cider is don't turn on the NFL games until kickoff, because I'm afraid there will be a lot of kneeling during the anthem.

What is there to be afraid of?

If that is the kind of thing you are worried about, then you guys may have to turn off all sports for a while.

In case you were curious as to why kneeling was chosen over simply sitting. Here is a good read.
