Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady

[CRedskinsRule]

Wow, can you believe the selfish lazy attitude of this guy. Bellicheck ought to cut his ass TODAY:

Monday Morning QB-Peter King

... Last year was pretty disappointing in a lot of ways, obviously. Losing to Baltimore the way we lost in the playoffs, losing leads late, losing on the road. Every year is so different, and the way we approach this year will be extremely important. We need to see the toughness. We need to see the commitment. Can we take the coaching?''

Brady will hear a lot of questions about his commitment, now that he's spending so much time in Los Angeles. Hs goal in the offseason used to be to win the prized parking spot given to the most dedicated player in the offseason program. Now his family goals take precedence, and because his older son (he shares custody), lives in Los Angeles, he feels he has to be in southern California more. He made it clear he's not going to give short-shrift to either of his sons, and if he has to work on his own for a good part of the offseason, away from his teammates, so be it.

...

Well this makes sense. He has already won rings and is a baller, he feels the need to spend his time on family related issues.

I think that is acceptable.

Wait, his team didn't really play good late last year, he is one year removed from major injury, and all these other things we would hear if he were on our team.

I agree it's acceptable, but let's also realize EVERY team has players who aren't at these camps, and yes this was a back-handed way to say get off AH's back.

With that vent out, I understand if the mods lock or merge this thread.

Coming off a major injury he threw 28 td's vs. 13 ints and over 4300 yards. It wasn't his best year but if Jason Campbell put up those numbers then he'd still be here.

You can't compare Brady's situation vs. AH's. One guy just showed up out of shape and didn't play up to his potential. Brady year in and year out is a top QB and plays the most important position on the field. Although Brady should be there he gets the bendfit over AH by a mile.

His children should come before anything else. Good for him. Obviously you posted this as a parallel to Haynesworth's stuff. I don't think there's much of a comparison. Haynesworth is a fat lazy loser who doesn't want to do offseason work with the team because he thinks he deserves to be traded. He's a malcontent jackoff IMO. Can't stand the guy.

AH will start getting the benefit of the doubt from me when he carries us to two Super Bowls like Brady.

I'm not so sure that's it man. He hasn't said it, only seems that people on message boards have speculated it. I'm sure he wouldn't mind being traded to somewhere like Minn, but before we even got the new regime he had his offseason plan mapped out.

Yeah and if Haynesworth had played on the Pats he'd have a ring too.. but he was stuck in Tennessee.

Of course to put it in context, the last comment on it by Brady seems to sum up the AH saga in my mind as well:

Ultimately, what it comes down to is this: We've all got to be ready to play.''

Great point GMScud, after AH starts winning he can get away with things without scrutiny.

Also I think this is a legitimate debate. He was hurt, didn't play well last season, etc. I side with the family however. Just how I feel.

What is he getting away with? Saying that he wants to train on his own because he admits last season wasn't his best (yet he still was prob one of the best defensive player in a unit that wasn't coached that well)? Saying that he would be best suited to play DE and not NT in the 3-4, and that he'll play whatever the team tells him to do anyway?

Are you saying that AH's situation is worst than when Shawn Springs completely disappearing during the offseason a few seasons ago? Or the Miami players on this team training on their own because they felt like it?

Like I said, people need to get over the 100 mil stuff. Personally, I wish Haynesworth was training with the team, however, I don't think this is the worst thing that could be happening with the team.

You know what I think is worst than this? Changing to the 3-4 and creating a whole bunch of needs on team that didn't have many draft picks. But still, I'm willing to give MS the benefit of the doubt.

I admire you Rushkins for taking a stand and continuing to not waver. Your feelings have been consistent throughout. You're not one of those people that say good things about a player when everyone else is saying good things, then when they start saying bad things, they say bad things too. "Going along to get along" If one thinks Haynesworth is fat, lazy, not a team player and all the other things that have been said to characterize him, continue to say those same things if he has a pro-bowl season...........rant over.

I tend to agree with you on this.

Why would you sign the best DT in the league and then turn him into a NT?

They should trade his ass but who would want a malcontent like that? The dude's a cancer and a disruption to his team! For the kind of money he's making he should LIVE at the practice facility. He epitomizes the term "Spoiled, selfish, athlete". Bastard! Man these guys piss me off!

The word "cancer" gets thrown around too easily. Haynesworth is FAR from a "cancer".

Pacman Jones, Roy Williams, Plaxico Burress, they're "cancers".
