They should let this man be the starter....you wanna know why? Brady is gonna be a gimp for the rest of his shortened career. His knee was twisted BIG TIME and they - the peoples that look after him....have been concealing the truth! He is now a disabled player with little or no future.

How long have you been a doctor? My left elbow has been bothering me lately. Do you think its cancer? Idiot!!!!!

I was under the impression that this had already been done. As for Brady's knee, isn't he looking at more surgery?

everyone knew this was going to happen

Depends who you ask. Some say he's back on schedule, some say he needs another surgery. I'm willing to bet he'll be the starter opening day 2009.

You can't believe anything the Patriots organization says about injuries. Bill Belichick is notorious for lying on injury reports.

Better to be safe than sorry though. Cassel could still be traded despite being tagged if Brady does come back healthy and ready to play, right?

It would be a smart move to franchise Cassel.

Yes. But you would first have to find a team that is willing to pay a 1 year starter $14 million guaranteed. That's alot of money that could backfire on the Pats. But if they have the cap room. I guess it could work.

Just reread the article after having a cup of coffee and saw the answer to my question. D'oh!

If you go to espn.com, you'll see an article about this.

It will be interesting to see what happens. Will Brady try to rush back to save his job? And what if Cassel starts the season and goes 5-0, do they bench Brady? I think they need to trade Cassel and just hope for the best with Brady.

You know, I think it's funny that the only time anyone (me) sees Brady anymore is on TMZ. LOL

As far as his being behind.. ACL rehab is 6-9 months for us average Joe's. For elite athletes, usually 4-7 moths. Add in his setbacks for his follow-up surgeries to clean out the mess, probably back to 6-9 months. So, Opening day is entirely possible. Again, it depends on whether he needs more work or not.
Simple Arthroscopy, not much additional time, revision of the graft, well, forget next year.

I'm sure he doesn't mind at all. It's $14 mil in guaranteed money one way or the other... if he is the starter next year and plays poorly, he still has the money. If he has another season like the one he just had, his stock goes up. Pretty sweet for a guy who hadn't been a starter since high school. I would think the only downside would be if the Pats didn't tag him. I don't think many smart owners are going to throw too much money at someone with his limited experience because of a one good season.

Who is this idiot Belicat and the inane comments that mean literally nothing. Franchise Cassel and the Pats already know where they are going with Brady and how Brady's leg is so there is no guessing here. They are going to tag Cassel and trade him if all works out for Brady and if not he is going to be opening day starter. Nothing more needs to be said.

Not so many options when you look at it realistically.
