Ill Tell you what, Dane. Ill read the book. But Im sorry if I don't believe that after 1 year (2000), the patriots thought Brady showed enough for them to determine that he'd be starting by 2002

before Bledsoe was hurt and entering the 2001 season, FWIW... By the time Bledsoe was traded Brady was considered a franchise QB

Same shit for Favre that same year... and it had nothing to do with Hasselbeck... that's just how they did it I guess. Scenario: It's 2001. Drew Bledsoe has just signed a franchise QB contract similar to that of Brett Favre's deal. Going into Game 1 of 2001 you are asked who you think the patriots expect to be their starting QB on Game 1 of 2002. Do say A. Drew Bledsoe.... or.... B. Tom Brady who has shown LOTS of promise, but has 3 career attempts. If you selected A...then Dane is wrong. The argument started after this quote by Dane: "They expected him to start by year three, IIRC." in a response to the mention of Brady being a 6th round pick in 2000. Brady was supposed to be a career backup---like Cassel, others-- and got an opportunity to prove he was something more---like Cassel, others. The only difference was that Brady proved immediately he was a Franchise QB--making Bledsoe expendable--while Cassel only proved to have potential after achieving moderate success in 2008. Ill say it again. Brady is tough to categorize...but it's not a huge stretch to say he was considered a career backup type by the Patriots in 2001 before he even attempted 4 career passes. After Bledsoe's injury is an entirely different story....but I don't think he was considered QBOTF before ever starting...which I believe is what Dane was arguing. |

To dismiss his success protecting the ball shows that either you know nothing..... or your position in this argument does not allow you to be honest. |

Wow and to think many on this thread would not give a Rookie last year and this year on the Defensive side of the ball for the Chiefs any leeway.
![]() On a side note I would say this was a growing pain game for Sanchez. More importantly than this game is how he bounces back after this game, I think that will be more of a test to how he will progress and how he will be perceived. Not to mention how the Jets will or will not put a leash on him.

Five interceptions and a QB rating in the single digits? That sucks.

Uhh, taking chances and going for big plays would only lead to a sack for this offense. Actually getting big plays down the field requires pass catchers who can get separation downfield and linemen who can hold blocks for more than 1 second...

Uh, there's plenty of sacking going on as-is. Meh.
