Brady to play in '09

I think it would be worth a shot. I agree that we would need to get a draft pick too to even it out. But, damn...it's better than nothing. IF Cassel(sp?) is really as good as he looked this year then it would be a fair trade considereing Peppers will soon be on the downside of his career.

Why do you people treat the "Patriots System" like it's something from God? NO, I don't want to trade Pep for Cassel but damn, people...it takes a good quarterback to be a good quarterback. You all act like Bret Basanez would have 4000+ yds over there with 30 TDs. No way in hell. Just admit Brady and Cassel are good QBs already and stop acting like New England knows something no other team knows about some magical "system" to use with a QB.

I agree.

People are quick to say Cassel is the result of a system, but nobody said that of Tom Brady.

While I think the coaching and the surrounding team have much to do with both Cassel and Brady's success, you can't deny they are both good quarterbacks.

People have said that about Brady actually. But the fact is, he put up numbers with crappy receivers too (see 2006 season for example). Then when they got Moss and Welker, his passing stats all of a sudden went off the charts. I don't think that means that Brady all of a sudden became a "better" quarterback in 2007.

As for Cassel, for the 2032309290820820th time, forgive me if I'm not ready to throw Peppers and a 55-60 million dollar multi year deal at a guy who hasn't proven himself outside of one year within the revamped Pats system. Of course I'm guessing the same people making this argument probably did the same with Derek Anderson last year. And they probably would be the same people that would be bitching if the move didn't work out.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
