I've been surprised at the lack of criticism the Pats are getting for only getting a 2nd for him. If he's as good as he appears they got absolutely fleeced.

The local media in New England are killing the Pats for this.

Didn't they supposedly turn down a better offer from the Browns?

Supposedly, although the Browns may have accidently hung up whilst celebrating the deal.

I'm sure if they put it out to the whole league to say he was available they would have gotten more than a 2nd (which Belichick promptly turned into more picks this year and next in darft-day trades anyway), but the sense is that Bill didn't want to deal within the AFC. I mean, even playing Arizona and SF against each other should have returned more than just a 2nd. Other than those two NFC teams, would Minnesota, NYG, or Washington have dealt for Jimmy?Electromatic wrote:Coach wrote:Orpheus wrote:elliseamos wrote:That's a deal I won't be able to understand, Belichick.

Yeah I can see that, it's not like he's got any track record of success or anything......
Doesn't he value 2nd's hire than 1st's anyway? (you don't have the 5th year etc etc) He was going to look good because Shannahan has a good scheme and he is capable of doing what he's told.
As far as the whole trade when Brady is 40+.... I mean....did Bob Kraft have any say in that I don't know? Tom Brady is still a better QB than Jimmy G.

I get what you're saying but the value maximizes beginning with the picks from about 15 on in the 1st round, so no, this would be very stupid.
This and the Butler decision will be seen as big black marks for the Pats for this season, or at least they should be.

Orpheus is 100 percent correct.
It's hard to deny the rift between Brady, Belichick, Kraft and the damage it has caused.
1. Belichick wanted to move on, and viewed Jimmy G as the replacement.
2. Belichick ushers Brady's ridiculous scam artist TB12 partner/whacko Alex Guerrero off the field and bans him from the team plane or whatever.
3. Kraft stepped in. Sides with Brady.
4. Bad moves ever since (Butler, trading Jimmy G.) in retaliation.
It seems far fetched, but the local reporting continues on this.
