    Give me a break. I love dilusional people like you that pretend signal stealing never happened before or after Bellichick did it. It's just Patriot hating. Case in point: Denver does it, nobody cares.

    There is a reason why every coordinator in the league still covers their face when play calling. To this day teams still legally film opponents sidelines from the booth.

    You can't possibly compare that to the mayhem that this Panther franchise has caused...steroids, drunks, racial slurs, teammate fights, the Richardson family mess, oh and a couple or murders. It's like a bad movie starring The Rock and a Baldwin brother.

    Are you really going to try to argue that Bellicick doesn't make him look good? What other major moves would in the pre Bellichick era would you say are universally hailed? Pete Carroll? Bringing in Parcells was great, but that is not exactly the riskiest move ever made.

    I thought I already covered that. Some may call oll of these moves risky.

    Remember, Kraft is the one who risked giving up a first round pick to bring in Belichick in 2001 who was, at the time, an unproven head coach.

    Kraft had control of the team long before Belichick came on board. Kraft took over in 1994 and they went from the worst team in the league (1990-93) to a superbowl team in 96. He brought in Parcells and Pete Carroll.

    Kraft also turned down a $75 million payout and instead paid $175 million to buyout the Patriots and keep them from moving to St. Louis. Seems like a no-brainer now but at the time they were the worst franchise in the league with all their home games blacked out. They have sold out every home game since he bought the team.

    On top of that, instead of ripping off his fans with PSL's like Your boy JR, Kraft paid almost $400 million to build a new stadium with his own money

    Isn't it cutre the way you make every instance of a Panther transgression a systemic issue, but excuse all of the Patriot ones as one offs or say that everyone does it.

    Could you please pick one please.

    Pick on the Steelers. The Patriots are too easy.

    I don't think that those are exactly earth shattering decisions. Boston is a much bigger market than St Louis, and it was hardly a no brainer to stay tehre instead of moving (it was also one of the reasons that he was probably selected to get the team as the NFL didn't want them leaving Boston). And say what you will about PSLs, but they were almost universally hailed at the time, were instrumental in landing the Panthers in Charlotte, and most definitely constituted out of the box thinking.

    I just wish that when Jerry said he wanted to copy the Steelers that he had picked up in the middle instead of the begining :(

    Are you really this stupid, or just a tool ?
    So, the Panther franchise has CAUSED steroids, drinking, racism, violence ?
    Yep, the Pats I'm sure have never had teammate fights, drunks, or steroid use in their history.
    True, we had Rae-Rae, and he's rotting in prison. To blame the Panthers franchise for the bahavior of a psycho is as bad as, say, a man wearing Uggs.

    Whatever makes you feel better, douchebag. It's a pattern of management making poor decisions on who they draft and sign and a lack of control from fromt office and coaches. It's a shitty franchise, deal with it.
