this is why I am sick of hearing how great Brady is. Year after year the Pats tamper with other teams players (Blount) and give Brady WR’s, RB’s etc. that no one else has.  Brees, Rodgers or Wilson would destroy Brady’s performance if they had these QB’s.  

Huh? Brady has won with guys like Patton, givens, Troy brown, Edelman, journeymen wrs.  They win because they are really good. It sucks but it’s the truth.

So many people ripping on AB.  He played everyone. Wonder how quick he head gets straight now.  It’ll be a miracle.  As I noted, it’s the LeGarrette Blount play with the intermediate trade to the Raiders thrown in as a twist. 


And he created a blueprint for other NFL players to use - the NBA playbook for sometime now - this will be repeated.

Yup. If teams allow it. The Raiders should have just suspended him indefinitely- or traded him to the Dolphins.

What is fishy about it?  Blount got cut and they signed him.  Moss hated Oakland and losing.  This is what having the best qb and coach do for you.  And if he acts up, they get rid of him. 

In the Blount case there were rumors of tampering (especially since he’d already played for them).  Same back with Moss intentionally quitting on the Raiders to get moved there.

 

Anyone recall this happening repeatedly with other good teams?  Anyone play their way off a team to hook up with Peyton, for example?

whats fishy is Blount and AB basically and in AB’s case did ask to be cut and suddenly end up on NE.  Tampering.

True but that’s not something really avoidable. The NFL on the other hand...

So athletes should be good to higher standards than politicians?  I’d argue as annoying as AB is, he actually has talent that is hard to replace.  Many of these politicians are easily replaceable.

If AB wanted to go to New England the whole time, then it all makes sense. Pittsburgh would never trade AB to the Pats. So he goes along with everything & lands in Oakland & then finds a way to get his contract terminated & ends up on New England in the end. With eyes on a championship & playing a pivotal playoff game vs the Steelers to get there.

Not tampering per se but a way to dictate where he wanted to play. Seems plausible imo

Dude may be a diva but he's not crazy

He lost $15 million.  He’s an idiot and the Pats can take him on because they are the Pats.  It’s pretty simple.

Haha, they are cutting AB after the Steelers game. 

I've just always felt like the whole signing a guy for the gameplan thing was overblown. There's SOMETHING to it, but not to the extent that some believe.
