[QUOTE="DarkHelmet, post: 520593, member: 9399"] That statistic blew me away. I would never have guessed only three guys had ever played for other teams. In this age of free agency it is simply amazing. When I heard the announcers make the point it occurred to me that at the pro level essentially all the athletes are freaks of nature. They run faster, jump higher lift more and an endure more punishment than normal humans. The fifty-third man on the roster is still a monster athlete. So much depends on what the coaching staff can get them to do with all that talent, and do the players have the brains to understand and follow the system and read the game as it changes on the fly. One thing I think TT has done very well is to draft smart players. Pre-TT we would often draft physical specimens who just weren't bright enough to excel in the system. I think New England's long-running success can also be attributed in part to a focus on guys who are smart enough to learn, remember and adapt. Of course there are monsters within the elite group of freaks of nature like Megatron. [/QUOTE]
