Re: 2008 NFL season
Well Brady is in another league entirely. Easily one of the best QBs of all time.
I dont want anyone to think this is sour grapes or anything since the Eagles just knocked by Giants out of the playoffs, but I've never thought McNabb was that great of a QB. Good? Yes. Make occasional highlight plays? Yes. But I've never thought with the game on the line, I can depend on him to take my team down the field. That is the trait of a great QB, and I dont see that in McNabb. His legacy as of now, will be throwing up in the Super Bowl with the game on the line.
Re: 2008 NFL season
geez the pats front office is getting raided again
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Kansas City Chiefs have hired Patriots vice-president of player personnel Scott Pioli to replace Carl Peterson, who resigned a few weeks ago after serving as the team's president, general manager and CEO since 1989.
According to the Boston Globe, New England's director of player personnel, Nick Caserio, would replace Pioli.
"We are very excited to welcome Scott to the Chiefs," team chairman Clark Hunt said. "With his proven track record of success, Scott is the finest player personnel executive in the NFL, and we look forward to his leadership in building a championship organization."
During his time in New England, Pioli helped guide the Patriots to three Super Bowl titles and six division championships. He will inherit a Chiefs club that went a franchise-worst 2-14 in 2008 and holds the third overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Pioli has served in various roles with the Browns (1992-95), Ravens (1996), Jets (1997-2000) and Patriots (2001-2008). He has also coached in the college ranks with Syracuse (1988-89) and Murray State (1990-91).
Pioli has won executive of the year awards from different media outlets following the 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007 seasons.

Re: 2008 NFL season
Well you have to take from the best I guess. Every time Patriots players, coaches, or front office people leave it just makes Belicheck look smarter when they continue to be world class and the Browns and Fighting Irish continue to be mediocre.
Re: 2008 NFL season
^so what....all of tom brady's rings came without a top tier receiver at his disposal, some quarterbacks bring those around them to a higher level....others need someone to help them get there
I'm just saying. he didn't actually have a top tier reciever when they went to the Super Bowl. This has nothng to do with Tom Brady who is the fucking man. Comparing anyone today to Tom Brady is totally unfair to the other guy.

That's pretty much what Terrell Owens said. Game on the line in the Super Bowl and McNabb is puking in the huddles and gasping for air. Outta shape? Nerves? Whatever it was McNabb didn't clutch up when it mattered most.

I don't recall that...I think ever since he came in to replace Drew Beldsoe, I think everyone was in agreement in the thought that they were seeing something special.
Re: 2008 NFL season
well i think that anything after having bledsoe would be considered something special
but yeah i just remember people saying that the pats were a bunch of good players but nobody great, and that Brady was just in the right system, but he wasnt anythign special..etc etc

Re: 2008 NFL season
Brady did land in the right system and would've never become such a great player if he had been drafted by the Bills or someone like that, he had good enough coaching and good enough players around him to improve while winning - which is ideal. Cassel's success is proof of how strong the New England 'system' is.
