if bill cant help a bad attitude(corey, moss) then no one can.

I know the Patriots get a lot of credit for building a perennial contender, and I'm not saying I want to bring him in, but maybe it just wasn't the right spot for him. Washington signed him and then changed their entire scheme to something he wasn't really happy with, and then he got traded to New England, not by choice, to play on the worst defense in the league. Maybe it'd do him good to get to pick the team he wants to play on that won't up and change his role in his first year there and maybe he'll produce. Not everyone gets motivated by getting bitched at.

Again, just playing devil's advocate.

He wasn't just playing poorly, he wasn't TRYING. Thats why he got cut (twice).

"Several league and team sources" have told the Boston Globe's Greg A. Bedard that Albert Haynesworth's "effort level" wasn't an issue before Week 9.

Coach Bill Belichick reportedly "thanked Haynesworth for working hard," but informed him he "didn't fit the scheme."

Maybe he was trying.

If Hurney really wants to satisfy the fans, and I'm not talking about the typical fans, I'm talking about the true FANS, he will sign the guy to a one year deal and let him show his stuff for the rest of this season.

I know you guys are all about "it's too late in the season" and "there's a reason he was cut" but the fact is that this is a perfect opportunity to get a guy who is currently in shape and ready to play at a position that is absolutely crippling our team and has kept us from winning football games.

Unless he is leading us to the playoffs, "true FANS" won't give a poo. Didn't Rivera say he wanted to give the young guys experience this season? Why give their reps to someone who may not be here next season?

True that. I'm way too much of an optimist when talking about this team...hell I believe we can go 8-0 in the second half of the season so I'm the wrong person to speculate on these sort of things.

We would need more than a better DT for me to really believe that could happen

Albert Haynesworth flat out quit for going on 3 entire NFL seasons. sh*tty comparison.

LMFAO I never saw Haynesworth give up in playoff game or when a team needed a win. The man was up front to the Redskins that he want to play UT not NT. Peppers was no different the last few years here only he was content on giving up on every game that was not on prime time. Even then he would give up in the playoffs and just disappear.

Change can have a big effect on players. Let the man pass threw wavers, then if he wants to come here let him... End of story.

Belichick: "Thanks for working hard."

Pantherclaw: "He has no work ethic."

One gets his views from what he hears, one knows the man. One has multiple Super Bowl rings, one I've never seen right a single time

last i checked, everyone is offering their opinions here. Even yours.

The man quit on his team.

You can sweep that unnder the rug, however you want.

That is one worthless employee.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
