N/S Pats fans going off on Cooks and Brady

Wanted to tell u fix the link. The 2nd one is invalid.


There was some well respected people saying we got fleeced in the trade. I never agreed with that assessment. Bill and the Patriots were being given far more props than necessary and Paytons ability to assess talent and replace him was also being downplayed.

You can't look at the trade in combination with who was drafted. You have to look at the pick. The Saints missed when they traded up with the Eagles and used a 3rd roudner. Doesnt' mean cooks was ever worth that. The fact that they got a 1st round pick back for a guy who is an intermediate/deep threat was WINNING.

The fact that they turned the pick into Ram is just embarassing but they wont the trade for the most part out right. Only problem was people were overvaluing Cooks.....wayyyyyyy too much.

I completely agree with this. What you have to remember is that the trade was made before the draft. As you all know, the draft is a roll of the dice but I believe SP and Ireland were willing to play Craps. I think they knew they had to get radical to change the direction of this team. It looks as though SP and Ireland rolled a winner.
