i think it'll be good for him.

I think he did this because USC is about to get SLAMMED by the NCAA for all kinds of infractions, and he's getting out before it happens. My $.02.

I think he's going to do great in Seattle if they give him time to turn it around. I always thought he'd come back to the pro's.

See now the problem I have with this is. Seahawks are my favorite team, and I can't stand USC. I can honestly say i'm not to found of Pete either.

WOW!!! Been following this, but didn't think it would actually happen. Justin Forsett just shot up my Fantasy Draft list for next year...

The timing is right for him to leave. USC has hit a plateau in their game play. It was evident this year they are not the dominant team in the PAC-10. On top of this, they are dealing with possible sanctions stemming from the Reggie Bush case, AND the Joe McKnight hoopla. This reminds me of Jon Callipari leaving Memphis right before they got nailed with those sanctions from the NCAA.

I don't think he will do much in Seattle. He was a shade above .500 in the NFL, and his team degressed during his 3 years in New England. However, the NFC West is one of the weaker divisions so if you are going to join a division, it is best to join a division like the NFC West compared to say the NFC East.

I can't name many coaches who who were successful in both college football and professional football. Matter of fact, I can only think of one...Jimmie Johnson.

Seattle's front office is the big problem...they don't have one. I honestly would have taken Leslie Frazier or Perry Fewell over Carrol...but I also would have given Jim Mora Jr. more than 1 year to prove himself...again, you can thank the front office for that.

Godspeed Seattle, Godspeed

Brady is a great player.

Just answering your question...he went 11-5 with a backup quarterback. No he didn't make a playoff that year in a tough AFC division.

Are you really questioning Bill Belichick's coaching ability without Brady?

How was Brady in college...last I checked he wasn't an all-american.







The big thing YOU are overlooking is...college football and the NFL are NOT the same...

I am not questioning Belichek just pointing out that in the NFL you need to be a great coach but you need some luck also. His record before Brady was about the same as Carrol's.

Brady is a good player, no doubt. I don't think anybody was questioning that. He came into the NFL not as a big player like manning, and vick, mcnabb and the others, but I believe he has proved himself.

One player I can say I think was over-rated was Culpepper. Moss made Culpepper, and when Moss left the Vikings. Culpepper's career went downhill very fast.

Tell me about Culpepper was terrible down here in Miami.

how was brady? underrated!
i literally saw every one of his college games, and he was extremely methodical for a college QB. he was not as highly touted of a recruit (i think he was like 6 or 7 on the QB depth chart his freshman year), otherwise i think you would have seen a lot more on him in the national picture. he did not have the support of his coaches until he started some games.
also look at his two bowl performances... big bowls, big deliveries personally, and of course two wins in two tries. he was the man at u of m...

Because in college, a lot of people wrote him off. That's how he was under-rated. He didn't have all this hype coming to the NFL, like some of these other QB's you see. Actually like a lot of them. Not to mention he was Bledsoes backup. Then he was pick #199 out of the 2000 draft, which is in the 6th round. I don't think a high rated qb would of went during the 6th round. Normally you see them going first round :).

That is exactly why he left. just like John Calipari left Memphis before the NCAA could bust him.
