Maybe this is Bill Belichick's best coaching job after all. How are the Patriots 6-2 with this crummy passing game? Tom Brady will gladly take the wins, but the stat page isn't kind to him. He's averaging 5.9 yards per attempt in 2013, Brandon Weeden territory. He only has nine touchdown passes through eight games and you know he's not doing much as a runner. If you grade all fantasy QBs on a point-per-game basis (and don't have a start minimum), Brady checks in at No. 36 in the Yahoo game. What good is a brand name in a world of numbers? The return of Rob Gronkowski hasn't clicked yet - Brady posted a 53.5 rating in the Jets loss and a 69.5 rating in Sunday's win over Miami (anytime you can win despite 116 passing yards, thank your lucky stars). Brady didn't notch a two-score game in October. And the opponents aren't easing up - Pittsburgh comes calling in Week 9, Carolina in Week 11. Houston and Cleveland, two good pass defenses, are looming in the second half. So what can a Brady owner do? Maybe it's time to move on. See if you can make a trade, be it with another owner or the waiver wire. Let's consider some options.
