I rooted for Corey and was happy he got his ring. He quietly dealt with some of the worst teams (and QB play) in NFL history before erupting at the end. I know I felt the same way he did, so I held nothing against him.

Sorry doubt that, Corey was just fed up with the ineptitude of a Mike Brown team.
This. Pats fans still love Corey and he was a model teammate there.

That 2004 Pats team was actually centered around Dillon. He ran for 1635 yards in 15 games and they rode him all the way to a championship. Keep in mind that Corey was 30 at the time. Now imagine if he'd played his whole career there. It's a shame he won't make the HOF.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
