Patriots released Leigh Bodden today according to PFT.
I didn't watch every Rams game for sure, but I haven't seen anything at all impressive from Bradford, not even what I would call a flash of brilliance or something.
Not looking hopeless isn't an indicator of future greatness, just saying that he looked like he was going to be a productive starter at the least.

I agree with levious.
You can kind of tell watching someone that they are going to be at least an NFL caliber qb.
I knew within 10 minutes of Kolb's first game that he was a bum. I knew by Ben's 3rd game that he was great. I knew by the AFC Championship that Brady was a servant of Satan.
Those initial impressions are not always correct, but more often than not they are. I don't buy this crap about needed years to develop when most NFL careers don't even last that long.

I'm really confused. Unless they've traded for Revis, I don't really understand this move. He must be seriously injured or something.
With McCourty playing like shit and Dowling being made of glass, he was our best corner.

What did you think of Drew Brees? Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Not everybody has the same career trajectory. Guys games get better and get worse as time goes along and it doesn't fit some kind of mold.
Never saw enough of either guy early on to make any kind of educated guess.darkside31337 said:
The three things I can judge right away are mobility, throwing motion (most importantly timing of release) and accuracy. Most guys who are accurate are accurate from day one. Same with mobility and guys with a quick trigger. The things you can't evaluate are blitz pickup, knowledge of the offense, and leadership. But if you don't have two of the three physical criteria I mentioned then I don't see how you are ever going to be a great qb.

Not really, this just means that Uggman needs to score 40 point instead of 30.
You pervert.levious said:
It has been torture this decade not a rivalry. If you get off on that then you need to see a doctor. Ben is like 2-4 or 2-5 against them. And one of those victories came against Cassel.
That is the past though. Fuck the Patriots and feel pity for whichever worthless Pats fan I made an avatar bet with!

I realized something yesterday TexansGaf....I won't be able to watch the game between the Jags. 
I'll be out of town in Orlando celebrating my anniversary. I guess I'll have to keep updates with the ESPN app.

I am not going to change my avatar, not even to celebrate destroying the evil Pats and having the best record in the AFC.
Just like I won't change my avatar when Andy Reed finds a way to outchoke the Cowboys and Romo. Though speaking of not doing it the idea of a picture of Andy Reid when he tries to run the goal line offense or 2 minute drill is tempting...
Pats would win if they decided to stay balanced and run on us. But they won't. They are going to fall behind early and try and go in the spread and slang themselves to victory. Haynesworth will quit midway through the 2nd quarter and you will be left with no pass and no secondary and no deep threat to burn our decrepit defense. Ben will initially be confused by the lack of defenders in his face within 2 seconds, but he will adjust and dissect the Pats defense and rip out the black heart of that franchise on the way to a decisive victory.Dutch Patriot said:

thanks, I've never been able to find the full clip (the replay part) on youtube, only the live clip that doesn't show him taunting before spiking.
So glad he cut his hair, I don't mind long hair, but he would constantly do that annoying push back his hair behind his ears thing. Looked like he had long hair for the first time in his life.

McCourty and Arrington on the outside, with Molden in the slot. And if Dowling ever returns he will take Arrington's place and Arrington will move inside.
BTW, forgot to mention, thanks for cutting Butler Pats. The guy's started the last three (four?) games for us and hasn't had his name mentioned in the broadcast except for when he makes a run-support tackle, which is about as good as it gets for a CB. Really helped solidify our secondary (10th in Pass D IIRC).

I like this alot.Milchjon said:Higher quality, just for you, bionic:
Man, if GAF still allowed .gif-avatars, I'd make a bet just for this. Too bad.
Also, a reminder of the greatness of Lord Brady
Go Pats!!!
Milchjon said:
Run game is probably the main reason to go under center, you can't run block downhill out of shotgun. Inside zone running, iso runs, just won't work properly out of the gun. The back is either to the left or right, if you zone block it's going to be to the opposite side he's lined up on.
In the college game coaches have lined up the back behind in the QB in a shotgun set to get a downhill run game, also opens up the playaction/bootleg game as well. Combine that with a TE/H-back and you can get some I formation runs out of a 3 WR shotgun set.
College coaches can be very creative and innovative.

It's pretty weird to see how many former starters playing in the secondary for the Pats have been traded/cut this (pre-)season. Meriweather is stinking it up for Da Bears, Sanders is sitting on the bench in Atlanta, Page is sitting on the bench in Philly and Butler who's like you said playing in Carolina. I hope he plays good there, he showed some flashes his first year, but after that couldn't adjust to the system or something.
