Belelichick says Jason Peters wouldn't 'make his team'

[The Answer]

The Jets' season opener against the Patriots still is eight days away, but the first salvo already has been fired. It's from an unlikely source: Bill Belichick, who usually is careful about not providing bulletin-board fodder to the opponent.

Belichick takes aim at safety Kerry Rhodes, ripping one of the Jets' best players in the current issue of Sports Illustrated. In a story that ranks the top 500 players in the NFL, Belichick offers his take on the rankings of Rhodes (29th) and Bills tackle Jason Peters (39th).

"Neither of those guys could make my team," Belichick told the magazine......

Jason Peters #39? :huh:

[PECKERWOOD]

Classy as usual Billy Bob.

Jason Peters #39? :huh:

I some talk about this list and he is that high because of his decent to good play so far, but mainly his potential.

[Meathead]

wonderful

some good old fashioned hubris

a key ingredient in the classic collapse of the front runner

Bill Belichick never said this:

There was a post here a few minutes ago about a New York Daily News story today that quotes Bill Belichick saying that Jets safety Kerry Rhodes couldn’t make his team, in response to a Sports Illustrated piece ranking the top 500 players in the game. However, the quote attributed to Belichick was merely a hypothetical by writer Peter King, who noted that he wouldn’t drop Rhodes (No. 29) or Bills tackle Jason Peters (No. 39) in his rankings, “even if Bill Belichick called and said, ‘Neither of those guys could make my team.’”

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL QUOTE: (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/08/28/the.king500/1.html)


Most told me I was loony to have Rhodes ranked in the 20s and Bills tackle Jason Peters in the 30s. I believe Rhodes comes closest to Ed Reed (12), the best impact safety in the game, and I believe Peters, a converted tight end, will be an All-Pro within two years. So I wouldn't move them down even if Bill Belichick called and said, "Neither of those guys could make my team."

[Novacane]

I did not think Belelichick would say something like that even if he thought it

[Earthquake Enyart]

Oh God. Should have known that that fat tub of goo was behind all of this.

[SquishDaFish]

Belicheck never talks down any players on other teams.

[ublinkwescore]

F Belichick all the same.

Rich Cimini of the NY Daily News issued an apology.

Ummm, Peter? Shouldn't the 39th best player in the NFL already be an all-pro?

[billsburgh]

Ummm, not necessarily

[FinFaninBuffalo]

Ummm, not necessarily

Yeah, right. Is this the list of the top 500 players two years from now? He has Peters as the 2nd best OT in the whole league. He rationale is that he will be really good in two years... WTF?

[THATHURMANATOR]

I was going to say that I would find it hard to believe he would say those things
