Long Term Deal for Henry?

Yeah, that is what I was saying. That simplistic. You really don’t think these two former patriots don’t want to emulate the way NE did things? If you don’t think they are strongly influenced by NE and Bilichek in philosophy then you are fooling your self. And that will have an impact on how they think about resigning players.

Do you disagree with that basic premise?

 

EVERY team would love to emulate the Patriots. Anyone with a brain knows that it's not that simple.

I highly doubt that Robinson sits around thinking "what would the Patriots do" like you seem to think. He's his own man. Sure, he probably has been influenced by what he saw in NE but that doesn't mean he makes every decision on the thought of what NE would do in every situation. That's just silly.

 

The Patriots best player is Tom Brady who they resign plenty.

 

And, amazingly, he doesn’t demand top dollar!

 

PAY HIM.. He deserves it and has earned it.

 

“Virtually”

 

I didn’t say the influence would make the decision. He is his own man but his way of thinking was shaped by the NE way. That will be a factor in his decision, consciously or perhaps not. And if that is the case, it could lead him to let some one else pay Henry. That is all I said and am saying.

 

So...your theory is the pats don’t and never had a great rb...or what

 

Yeah, QBs and RBs are the same value. Everyone in the league knows that.
