Brady's brand is embarrassing snake oil but the guy was in the Super Bowl a minute ago.

Throwing him under the bus already?

Trash.

Pats fan here. I was a fan before Brady, so I’m a lifer. I was a fan even before Bledsoe so I saw some terrible teams. It’s been awhile though and I don’t think they’ll be THAT bad. Word from camp is the defense looks great but the offense is still lacking. Will be an odd year for multiple reasons. KC & Baltimore are the teams to beat in the AFC. The NFC is more wide open.

I sent out an email to the fantasy league. Any interest in going for another year? We had a pretty competitive league last year. Time is running short though. Need to pull the trigger soon if we’re going to give it a go. Let me know.

Can you give me an update on just what the hell the Pats will look like without Brady? Are they starting that guy no one's ever heard of before? Why did they sign Cam Newton? How does it feel that Tom left? Which side has the city taken?

I believe the D will be great. They have some damn good DBs. I like how Belichick or the GM likes to build their Defenses from the secondary forward as opposed to putting all your eggs in the front 7 as most teams do.

I definitely would play the FF league...as far as I can tell I'm already in the league so I don't think there's anything that I need to do.

Fans in NE are kind of split.  Some side with Bill and the team and say "screw Tom" for leaving.  Others side with Tom and say "screw Bill" for letting him go.  While I was hopeful they could work something out, in the end it's probably best for both parties.  Tom was frustrated last year and didn't have much to work with on offense.  They weren't able to add anything of great substance in the off season aside from 2 rookie TEs due to their horrendous cap situation.  So if Tom stayed, he'd be working with the same questionable surrounding cast (outside of Edelman and James White).  In Tampa he's got Evans, Godwin, Howard, Gronk, etc.  I think he'll be just fine.  And for NE, it was time to look forward.  It was supposed to be time to hand the reigns over to Stidham in his 2nd year but Cam's price came way down and they just couldn't say no.  Stidham actually looked great early in camp but then got slowed by an injury and hasn't been able to catch back up.  So it looks like it's Cam's job to lose.  It's a tough spot for either guy with the limitations on things due to Covid, no minicamp, preseason games, etc.  Brian Hoyer has actually looked the most comfortable because he has the most experience in the system, but he's there to be a backup, if he makes the team.
