I actually agree with the OP. The Pats gave up a guy most likely to hurt us for worse players. Don't look know, but the Pats drafts have been so-so lately. BB needs to sign FA Safeties, 'cuz he sure can't draft one.
If you read or heard what he said, he didn't seem upset. Just amazed at the crickets during the draft and the crush to sign him after. I don't really care about Tyler Bray as a player or a person. I just think it's joke when people want to kick this guy when he is down without knowing anything about it.
He's a size/speed guy who hasn't been healthy. Now he's healthy. I agree that he has little trade value, but, of course, you give him a shot. He gives them competition at the position. The idea of trading TJ Graham is just ridiculous.
I'm sure the media had something to do with him speaking of it. It's not like he held a presser. Someone called him. What did he say that was that bad? He said his son should have been drafted. He did not make an excuse for WHY his son wasn't drafted. He just thought his physical gifts were worth a pick over what immaturity issues Bray had. Stupid thing is....most of you agree with what Mr. Bray said.
That's not my point either. My point is: Mr. Bray was saying the QB's physical talent was worth being drafted, even if he was immature. He was also "amazed" that there crickets during the draft, yet the phone was ringing off the hook to sign him as a FA. If Tyler was such a cancer, why would you bring him in even as a FA?
Comparing Tyler Bray to Ryan Leaf and calling him a loser is immature and ridiculous. People need to get real.
The way I see it, EJ Manuel is huge, fast, athletic, can throw, is mature and is poised to completely commit himself to being the best possible QB he can be. I don't know if he'll succeed, but I'll take my chances with that package.
Is that the consensus in your bathroom? Word is that Easley is finally right and he looks great. TJ Graham showed flashes in his rookie year. You're nuts if you think they'd jettison him a year after they picked him (ahead of Russell W.)
It's just not going to happen my friend.
Love Gruden, Jaworski, Simms, Gannon and Theisman. These are men who have accomplished a great deal in football and not by accident. I consider their insights qualified and entertaining.
In what is suspected as the worst year for QBs in the last 10, you want to take 2????? To call it stupid is to offend stupid.
How 'bout play with EJ and Kolb for 2 years and draft another to replace Kolb as the primary backup after his contract expires....
