I heard this on ESPN Radio Today:

When asked about his new relationship with the Patriots:

How is that talking sh*t? I hope people don't start posting threads like this because I will just trash them. He didn't ask to be traded. I hate when fans praise one minute and then turn their backs the next. Especially on a situation that is out of the players hands. Is he suppose to say "I hope I do real ****ty here now that I"m not a Raider?

well, what else is he suppose to say? As long as he doesn't make any specific references to the team or the players, I can live with it.

Agreed. I still really like Gabriel and I think he's going to thrive in NE. His comment about having a better chance to succeed makes a lot of sense considering the Pats' recent history and their current WR situation. His role with the Raiders depended a lot on Jerry Porter and whether or not he could get his act together.

And I might catch a lot of flack for this, but realistically who would you rather have throwing you the ball? Aaron Brooks or Tom Brady? I know who I'd pick.

Gabriel hasn't said much of anything as of yet, even including that interview he did. I think he is keeping what he really thinks to himself and is staying positive.

**JFF** · #6 (**permalink**) 09-06-2006, 02:37 AM

Um, odds wise, he does have a better chance to succeed in NE.

1) No "Randy" to compete with.
2) The Pats are playoff contenders.
3) They have a solid, established QB.
4) They have a solid, established, successful system.

(Patriot haters are gonna blow me up.)

Nobody is a bigger Raider fan than me, but Gabriel did not seek a trade. if this is the ugliest thing he says, I can live with the truth.

He really isnt saying anything bad about the Raiders. He does have a better chance to succeed since the Patriots really don't have many good recievers like us, especially with Branch holding out.

This was not no **** talking, he was simply saying he was happy to a Patriot. Should he have said he ws unhappy to be there? Should he have said he's a Raider for life? Gab played hard as hell as a Raider, we traded him remember, he didn't ask out. He wasn't like C-wood or even are WR who we should trade Porter, a player who has talked **** about his team and coaches, even asking to be traded. So leave Gab alone and wish him well!

I HATE the patsies but I totally agree with what you are saying

Gabriel was good to us and gave us what he could and with that I will respect him forever. He will always be a Raider and as stated before it was not his choice to be traded. I'd also like to make note that he stated himself that he was a little surprised by the trade.
