Lol well I cannot say for everyone but I don't hate him, I simply dislike him for dumb reason, he always win. He is great QB with fierce competitiveness, but I really think staying in same offense for years also helped him to appear as one of best QB in NFL history.

I think Bill needs to have his power checked. A lot of his recent personal decision making has not been great. Still a top 5 team in that category though, just not at the top like they used to be. They still do not know how to scout a corner.

I think you could say that about Joe Montana, Steve Young, Aaron Rodgers, even Manning although he switched teams. I think once a coach finds a great QB they make their offense around that player.

Plus the Patriots offense has changed pretty drastically over the years. In 2002 ball control move the chains offense keep the other teams defense on the field, win with clutch play at the end. In 2007 3 receiver set score as many points as possible, downfield passes to Randy Moss. In 2012 Two tight end set (when they were healthy) and run the ball and run as many plays as possible. I think their offense changes based on their personal a lot.

Good points.. What prompted me to believe that Brady has the advantage of staying in same offense is right after the year Cassel played as Chief in his first year. Cassel looked like a decent QB that could improve within time in NE until he was traded to Chiefs and he didn't looked same as he was in NE. This is something that have been debated before and will always be. I guess all we can do is share our opinions.

For the offense changes on NE through out time, of course the offense have to change from time to time or otherwise all other 31 teams will be able to stop them. But I believe think the changes are not that big, just different players running same routes from different positions. Just like Redskins offense, they give you lot of looks but routes are similar.

That's the only thing I can come up with.

Also the fact that Tom Brady should help his production - i expect Amendola to have alot of games resembling the one he had against us over the next few years.

what's up with teams in the NFC West trying to build super teams?

One of the comments under the ESPN report.

Bucs-4Life
Breaking News: Danny Amendola fractured his wrist while signing his contract will be out for the season...

I don't get why they would sign this guy for basically the same money Welker signed in Denver. Doesn't make good sense.

As Redskins fans, we're the last people who should be criticizing a signing because of injury history. Our quarterback may not make it until he's 25 at the rate he's going.

Anyways, I hate the signing. Too much focus on getting younger when the reality is your quarterback is getting much older and as long as it's Tom Brady's team, who cares about age? Bring in the best player, give your team the best chance at winning a superbowl. Welker does that, Amendola doesn't.

the rich are getting richer while were in falling behind mode once again because of that damn cap penalty. Boldin to SF. Goldson to TB. Harvin/Avril to Seahawks.. good for them but YUCK. Welker to Denver...

we didnt sign Griffin in FA though bud...

We have all the room to talk we never signed a guy like that from the FA Market.. sure weve signed guys who underperformed but nobody stands out in my mind that we gave a big check to with extensive injury history.

Yep, lets cut him now and start Grossman because he knows the system. Save that money and use it on the grass at Fed Ex.

Well yes, but thinking it's funny that AMENDOLA may not play 3 of the 5 years he signed for while our entire future hinges on Griffin's knee is ironic.
