It's happening.
Mega Super Blockbuster Trade for Review:
New England Patriots:
QB Tom Brady (99 OVR, 37, A Pot)
ROLB Rob Ninkovich (77 OVR, 31, B Pot)
for
Cleveland Browns:
QB Colt McCoy (87 OVR, 28, A Pot)
CB Cornel Patrick (81 OVR, 23, A Pot)
LOLB Kaluka Maiava (60 OVR, 27, C Pot)
Browns 1st round pick (#9)
The best QB in the game is moving to the AFC North. This was a very hard decision to make, but ultimately I decided I'm ready for a new challenge as we enter season 4, and seeing if I can win with someone other than Brady is a huge one.
I was hesitant to move him for sure, but I got a package from the Browns I'm really excited about. Patrick was a 1st round pick last season but didn't progress at all, so along with the #9 pick it's basically like getting two 1st rounders (and obviously I'm hoping he
will progress in Season 5). McCoy obviously can't make all the throws Brady can make (which is ALL the throws), but his short to intermediate passing is quite strong, and that fits my game very well. The linebackers were added to the deal later since UMX wanted to beef up his LB corps.
Well, let's get this going...
I've already discussed this deal with a few people who got a bit of a preview on it, and I'm pretty confident it's fair. As I posted yesterday, Brady has not regressed at all and remains indisputably the best QB in the game. Here's the proof:
