The fact he had the opportunity to fail, when the team was already out of the game was good, and the fact it would stop a QB challenge was icing on the cake.  I am a big fan of A-Rod.  I think it would be the wrong thing to do to draft another first round QB.  The KID HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE.If you call yesterday a chance the way the Pats were blowing past our O-Line...  Then you saw a different game than I did.All of that is moot now though...  The kid is done failing faster this year.R.P.</blockquote>
