Tom Brady on Ravens: "They talk a lot for one win in nine years"


The Saltman

Recommended Posts

New England's 23-20 comeback overtime victory over the Ravens wasn't enough to get to Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs to stop talking.

After the loss, Suggs said that Tom Brady "made some plays . . . But like I said, he just better hope he don't see us again."

"Well, he had his chance so maybe if he gets another chance he can try to back those words up," Brady said in comments transcribed by the Boston Globe. "We play those guys a lot and they've only beat us once . . . they talk a lot for only beating us once in nine years."

I hate the Patriots, but Id loved it when Brady was trying to get the refs to flag Suggs on roughing the passer, and Suggs got in his face, and instead of backing down, he started jawing back, and led the team down the field to tie it up. I still hate Brady and the Pats, but I thought was pretty damn cool.

but, he's white! Thought you had to be black to be a great quarterback

You've never heard me say that. Im not built like alot of dudes here. Giving props to a white QB thats great at what he does doesnt make me feel like a sellout to my race. It doesnt make me feel like "black trash". Saying a white QB could do something better than a black QB doesnt bruise my ego. I'm not gonna tell the Panthers, if they bring in a white QB I wont cheer for them anymore. Hell Ive been cheering and supporting the all white QB squads we've had for years. You've never seen me say every QB that plays for the Panthers should be black. You've never seen me try and make a white guy seem stupid for suggesting a QB thats white. I dont make it my life's mission seeing them fail, or telling teenage white kids they'll never be QBs, play kicker instead. There's a social context for all of that fear and insecurity folks have when it comes to a young black man being potrayed as their "savior" that blacks just dont have when it comes to white QBs.

how did that terrelle pryor guy do on sat? oh wrong thread :lol:

Better than Jimmy Clausen last Sunday. Terrelle will be starting next time his team plays, will Jimmy? I suppose Jimmy never lost at Notre Dame. :rolleyes: And when he did, did people instantly use that as justification why he shouldnt even be given an opportunity to play QB? Only a black QB.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
