Well, it appears Tom Brady will be out for the season. I think I speak for all of Patriot Nation when I say, 'dang'.
To call the loss of Brady a blow would be a seismic understatement. This is something more along the lines of a cataclysmic bazooka blast from outer space. Kamikaze Pollard, as the Chief's safety shall from now on be known, took out the central nervous system of the finely tuned Patriot machine and reduced the team to a motley assortment of loose parts.
Enter Matt Cassel, the stately quarterback from USC, who at best can be called unproven but who more realistically should be labeled a greenhorn (Cassel hasn't started at quarterback since his senior year at Chatsworth High School in 1999). A bit wet behind the ears? Perhaps. But certainly up to the challenge? Lets hope so.
