Grub,,,,
You're kidding about all these guys except Brady,,,,, correct??
Edelmann??? come on?? No way.
Vinateri was solid sure. A superstar?? I mean come on he's a stinking kicker.
Revis was washed up when he was a Pat.
Had Moss for one year.
They won the SB last year WITHOUT Gronk. May have one more than one without Gronk if memory serves me correct. Gronk is superstar status though,,,when healthy. But it proves my point with the Pats they win the SB without his services.
Bruschi,,,, that's a reach to say Super star.
Highttower,,,,,not even close.
Brady yes obviously.
Law and Milloy ,,,,ehh they were good. Not superstars. Deion Sanders was a superstar. Law and Milloy were no Deion.
All these guys you mentioned with the exception of Brady and Moss (one year) aren't going in the HOF. Wilfork may get in but it will take a while. I don't consider an overweight run stopper a super star. If you ain't in the HOF you were never a super star. Period.
Guess your definition of superstar and mine are different.
You are obviously suffering from the current lack of snow which makes your thought process a little blurry. Come on- NO superstars?? Never have??? Tom Brady is a superstar. Julian Edelman is a superstar. Gronk is a superstar. How many SB rings does it take? The best years of Wes Welker, Tedi Bruschi,and Lawyer Malloy. Randy Moss. Vince Wilfork. Darelle Revis. Ty Law. Adam Vinatiere. Dont'a Hightower. Hardly any of them retire with the Pats but they had some of their best year(s) there. That is part of the Patriot way - get rid of them when they are worth something right before they crater. Blount is just the latest example of that. The Pats have Garappolo waiting in the wings and he has shown he is capable. In fact he is not the immobile stump that Brady has become. I could see tha Pats cutting Brady loose for a whole bunch of high draft picks and plugging in Garappolo. Would not surprise me in the least. If Rodgers gets hurt the Packers have ....... By most accounts the backups have looked horrible in preseason play. Mason Crosby would last about 1 month in NE. Hopefully it snows soon.
