The Best of the Week in PatsPropaganda
It was a quiet week on the free agency front. I’m assuming the Patriots are waiting for Vollmer to make a decision before rounding up some defensive tackles and wide receivers. The amount of money they allocate to Vollmer will be a big chunk of change so it’s smart to wait until that worked out so they know how much they can spend on the other needs.
Things should start to get interesting again in the next week. And look, it’s almost April, the draft will soon be upon us!
Here’s the best of the week…

If Brady retires without winning that elusive 4th championship (god forbid!), how do you think that will effect his legacy?
It’s still a Hall of Fame career. And while the two Super Bowl losses are the most recent in our memory, ultimately they’ll be somewhat of a positive on Brady’s resume. He put his team up late in the fourth quarter in both of them, but his defense couldn’t stop last-minute drives by Eli in either.
Getting to five Super Bowls in the free agency era is astounding any way you cut it. Not to mention SEVEN AFC title games and only missing the playoffs once, in his second year, on a tie-breaker.
So if he doesn’t get number four, it’s been an epic run of winning. We can debate Brady vs. Montana for eternity, but there’s no question Brady is an NFL Legend. Period.
If manning wins a championship with Welker while Brady couldn’t do you think that will have a negative effect on how the sports world sees Brady?
You’ll have to wait for the answer to this on Monday as it’s the topic of my B/R column.
In short, I think Brady has the chance to prove once and for all that he’s the better quarterback, but Manning has it a bit easier.
What season do you think Tom Brady became officially an elite quarterback? And Why.
First off, I have to say I really hate the term “elite” when talking about quarterbacks. People get so fired up about who’s elite and who isn’t. It’s not like once you get to being “elite” you stay there. Some players have elite runs in the playoffs then never put it together again.
But Brady is elite, we all agree on that, so I’ll answer this. I could say 2004, because three Super Bowl runs with flawless performances, especially the dismantling of the Steelers says there’s no doubt about how epically good he was.
But he was surrounded by great teams then as well, especially on defense. So let’s say 2006. The cupboards were bare and yet he still threw for 3,529 yards and 24 touchdowns. It was also about that time that the Patriots defense went from a dominant one that could take control of a game, to one that was a little too old and slow. Brady really had to carry the team for the first time in his career, and he got them almost all the way to the Super Bowl with arguably one of the most untalented Patriots teams of the last decade.
When Brady got some real weapons in 2007 it showed just how good he had become. Before that he was a smart quarterback, but after 2006 he was a truly explosive one, and once he had truly great players around him he proved how good he really was. Before 2007, Manning had all the stats and Brady just won games with mistake-free precision. But after that it was clear that Brady was every bit as dangerous as Manning.
