Well. this thread has wandered, hasn't it.
As far as disruptive players go (e.g. TO, Randy Moss), it's in the same category as hard-ass coaches (e.g. Parcells, Belichick, Coughlin, and your new main man): winning cures all ills. If a team wins, the headcases and hardasses are not an issue. If a team loses, they become an issue. TO is a selfish, douchebaggous, cancerous, blah blah blah, and yet the guy was hobbled and almost won the SB for the Eagles against the Pats. Moss takes plays off, is lazy, yada yada yada, yet combined with Brady to tear up the record books in '07.
As far as the Pats drafting goes, they've been fairly average-to-bad. But they make up for it with some late-round gems, and solid FA acquisitions. So it balances out.
And, as far as Dirty Sanchez goes, again, get back to me when he's played an NFL game.
