NE has successfully positioned him as something very special and other teams are sniffing at the bait. It's a remarkable and admirable effort on their part and franchising him was icing on the Cassel cake.
Of course, Mr. philfree is right, but even considering the current quarterback shortage, NE has promoted him both subtly and skillfully enough to make The Donald proud.

I'm with you on this. I watched every Patriots game and I still don't know if he's legitimate. As a 'scout/GM' for other teams, I'd feel a lot more confident if he'd beaten Pittsburgh. I know that he had the team in position to open that game up until Moss dropped a sure touchdown pass, but I'd liked to have seen him rally the team to overcome that.
A similar thing happened in the Chargers game earlier in the season. To me, it's probably the biggest red flag I'd have if I were thinking of trading for him.
