Hoss Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Fans are allowed to wonder and hope for anything they want. The problem I have with all your scenarios is that A) you act like they don't know they need better QB play B) you make it sound like they can just decide to go out and get what 20 other teams are looking for because they want to You act like they're not professionals and like they can just fall back on excuses. "Only a few other teams have done it recently so we don't have to do it and get a pass for not doing it." It's not easy. Getting a legitimate QB is hard... But I expect them to at least try.

TrueBlueGED Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Honestly that replay of Gronk's injury doesn't look bad at all, and he was flexing it on the way to the cart. But he looked in traumatic pain when it happened. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Why are these announcers acting like that was the end of the first quarter? That drive was crazy and they acted like it meant nothing. This game is ridiculous. We all know the piece of Patriots are winning this game. Ugh. I hate sports.

Gronk is that important IMO. Separately, I'd really like the NFL to change the intentional grounding rules. Brady had no idea where he was throwing that ball, he just got lucky a receiver was nearby. But it was intentional grounding by any real definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots would never win another game. These guys are crying about Gronk being called for offensive interference. It seems to me he could be called for that 5 times a game. He runs to the sticks, shoves the defender out of the way and makes the catch. Heck the Patriots pretty much invented the modern art of offensive interference! (in hockey penalizing F-bombs wouldn't leave anyone on the ice!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I also think that appealing to a ref or official to make a call should be an unsportsmanlike penalty as well. (Just like you can get ejected for arguing balls and strikes in a baseball game.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says they aren't trying? Whaley has been in charge two and a half years and brought in at least five guys and we know he at least tried a couple others. The only guy we know for sure that he passed on that has had any success is Derek Carr. Just because he didn't draft guys for no other reason then they play QB doesn't mean he isn't trying. He has said on at least three occasions that until they gind that "franchise" QB, their only option is to build up the rest of the roster. He knows what they need.

Claude_Verret Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Great QBs change culture. Hell, we'd be talking about the Hartford Patriots possibly if Brady didn't come to the rescue. Absolutely no reason to think they can't? Okay. Still stand by the dumb luck comment, Claude? Since your original point referenced Brady specifically, you know the GOAT. Then yes I am.

Hoss Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Since your original point referenced Brady specifically, you know the GOAT. Then yes I am. They lucked into Brady, yes. But that's not the standard for finding QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom webster Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 They lucked into Brady, yes. But that's not the standard for finding QBs. Actually, luck plays a big role. You, yourself, advocate drafting one every year in the hopes of stinking upon the guy. Green Bay gets Rodgers after he plummets in a year no one is desperate for a QB. Indy gets Luck largely because Manniing suffers the only major injury of his life. Pittsburgh drafts Rothlesberger because Dallas backs out of a deal with the Bills and the Dteelers just wanted to mess with Donahoe. Seattle trades for Flynn and Whitehurst and give them crazy money only to have Wilson fall to them. Teams like Carolina are fortunate enough to implode the year Newton is available while Cleveland gets Couch. Look, we really want the same thing and if there is a way to trade up for someone or trade for someone established, I'm all for it no matter how Taylor does the rest of the year. And I truly believe they feel the same way, I just don't think it's as easy as just deciding to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Rex is talking today.... Some notes: - still won't take responsibility for poor challenge decisions. Would only go as far as saying he needs to put a better process in place, but he was clearly blaming the others in the process. Said he chose not to challenge the Hogan play because they only had one timeout. - Alex Carrington "doesn't look good." Report is he's out for the season. - Wait and see this week for Karlos. Injury isn't severe. - Hopes Mario can play in "some capacity." - Nigel Bradham is out this week. - Not feeling good about John Miller's status this week.

TrueBlueGED Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I wonder if the team is giving any thought to cutting Mario after this season. He's going to be 31 and the team could save $13 million on next year's cap by doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
