Deion Branch hasnt been as bad as he makes it out to be also. Branch is old, and a servicable 3rd option on most teams.

If you've paid any attention to the Patriots Way, his point is extremely valid, though you'll continue to disagree.
The Pats are IMO the best in the league at getting the most out of players, and then getting rid of them the year before their skills rapidly decline.
There's even a blurb in Patriot Reign where they talk about how they "just know" when the right time is to cut guys loose.
In recent memory, Asante Samuel is the only guy they've cut loose that actually played at a similar level to his play in NE - but it's only been one year.
