With Tom Brady out with reports of a torn or sprained acl, who will step up to lead this Superbowl team back to the playoffs? These are my top three options in order to continue the season.
3. Chris Simms- This young kid from Tampa Bay needs a home to play. I have heard that Chris Simms is reportedly coming to Gillette today for a workout session. With injuries in his past what makes him any better than Matt Cassel right? The difference maker is Chris Simms has more experience.

2. Laurence Maroney- Yes, I know that he is over-rated in fantasy football, who cares? Laurence Maroney has the ability and the back-up in Sammy Morris,Lamont Jordan,Kevin Faulk and Heath Evans to lead this team to a top five rushing team in the league.Laurence Maroney is young, talented and has a hell of a cut to the outside running game!
1. Free Agents- I know what you are saying, Chris Simms is a free agent why is he listed separately, my answer he is the leading candidate behind Matt Cassel. But, these are the options that Bill Belichick and his round table of masterminds will likely consider. Options are: Daunte Culpepper, Kerry Holcomb, Tim Hasselbeck, Joey Harrington and good friend and future Hall-of Famer Drew Bledsoe.

they are also working out tim rattay who, interestingly enough, was the other QB the pats were considering when they drafted brady.
it should be mentioned that the pats offense that we saw last year was by no means what any football fan shouldve come to expect from any team. they were on another planet as if they were playing a video game.
this team can still win 10-12 games with matt cassel. in brady's abscence the emphasis, imo, will be placed on the running game and the patriots defense... not necessarily the QB position.
cassel's role with be that of a game manager similar to trent dilfer with the ravens. he wont be asked to win games for the pats.. simply to not lose them.

i'll agree with you there.
Tim Rattay hopefully wont be our QB it is everyones best interest that he stays away.
Chris Simms I will take any day over Rattay.
If Cassel is our new #1 guy say good bye to the super bowl but not the AFC Championship game.
Pats vs Jags in AFC Championship
hopefully its just a sprained ACL and we dont have to worry just yet.

Being a Bucs fan, I can tell you that Rattay is way better than Simms. Rattay led a huge 4th quarter comeback against the Bears and threw for 3 touchdowns to tie the game. That was the year Chicago went to the superbowl.

Well I don't believe Pats fans have a lot to be optimistic about at this point. True Randy moss is an excellent WR who can catch anyone right? Well maybe not looking at his performance in Oakland. I just do not think The Pats are near the same without the poise and structure that Tom Brady brings. I think if he is truly out for the season as rumors say then the Pats will have a fight on their hands from not 1 but 2 AFC east teams as both the Bills and the Jets proved their teams on the rise. Good Luck to the Pats I wish them the best but I am truly concerned because its not unbelievable now to place 2 teams in their own division above them, let alone their conference.

Harrington is the best bet in New England- now I know he is often thought of as a horrible QB but the fact remain that what has happened in both Detroit and Atlanta were not his fault. In Miami, I think he had the best chance to thrive as a QB. He didn't have the offense excluding Ronnie Brown but he did make things magically happen(such as defeating the then undefeated Bears). I think if he is thrown into a good situation for the first time he will begin to mature as a QB and basically end up a bit like Garcia in Tampa Bay. He had a great college career, still shows a little bit of the flair that we once say in his first two seasons at Detroit, and has an incredible arm. He reminds me of Dan Marino and I think he could end up salvaging his career in the near future.
