On a day where Michael Turner rushed for 220 yards and scored two touchdowns, Donovan McNabb racked up 361 yards and three touchdowns and the Panthers shocked the Chargers with no time left; Tom Brady still managed to steal all the headlines in the NFL world.
Hey Brady, maybe you should have stayed on the Injury Report, at least you would have saved the league some time by not having to redo your
paperwork.
Now that it has been confirmed that Brady is done for the season, the million dollar question is who is going to take the helm at QB for the Pats.
Chris Simms has already been summoned by the Patriots brass for a workout, and there have been whispers about Tim Rattay as well. Another option is to just stick with Matt Cassel and see how he runs with it. After all, that is how Brady became the superstar he is today after taking over for Drew Bledsoe when he went down in week one of the 2001 season.
One major difference; Brady was a stud at the University of Michigan before coming to the NFL where as Cassel has ONE start on his college resume. AT TIGHT END!
With the Bills new and improved defense, Parcells genius behind the Dolphins and of course the New York Bretts, the Pats need to make a phone call to the retirement home and beg Daunte Culpepper to come out of his three day retirement.
Culpepper told ESPNthat "I would rather shut the door to such 'opportunity' than continue to wait for one of my fellow quarterbacks to suffer a serious injury." Well, Daunte, I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when I say, FORGET you ever said that and get on the phone with Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick right now.
Now I'm not saying that Daunte is a better QB than Cassel, Simms or Rattay(even though he is without a doubt), but it just makes more sense for the Patriots as far as chemistry is concerned. And by Patriots, I mean Randy Moss.
Yes Cassel knows the Pats system, but who knows Randy Moss better than Culpepper?
Besides finding a replacement for Brady, keeping Moss and his 23 TD catches from 2008 happy should be the number one priority for the Pats. It goes without saying that if Culpepper were brought in, Moss would be smiling from diamond studded ear, to diamond studded ear.
Moss himself even pitched the idea of reuniting with his former slinger as a package deal for teams interested in the off season before he was graced with his three year; $27 million dollar contract.
