He also lost two SBs due to amazing, once-in-a-lifetime moments, just like those coaching blunders.Electromatic wrote:Why not quit, leave and go try to win elsewhere?Coach wrote:Orpheus is 100 percent correct.Orpheus wrote:I get what you're saying but the value maximizes beginning with the picks from about 15 on in the 1st round, so no, this would be very stupid.Doesn't he value 2nd's hire than 1st's anyway?

This and the Butler decision will be seen as big black marks for the Pats for this season, or at least they should be.
It's hard to deny the rift between Brady, Belichick, Kraft and the damage it has caused.
1. Belichick wanted to move on, and viewed Jimmy G as the replacement.
2. Belichick ushers Brady's ridiculous scam artist TB12 partner/whacko Alex Guerrero off the field and bans him from the team plane or whatever.
3. Kraft stepped in. Sides with Brady.
4. Bad moves ever since (Butler, trading Jimmy G.) in retaliation.
It seems far fetched, but the local reporting continues on this.
I don’t have any idea why he didn’t play Butler but I guess we’ll never know unless Butler knows anything. He was also gifted two Super Bowl wins by coaching blunders so... I mean there’s that.
I’m not as ready to anoint Jimmy yet.
No one is anointing Jimmy, but he's the best QB they've developed under Brady. Belichick felt he had someone good enough to take over for Brady and keep the winning going.
Belichick, it's been reported, wants his legacy to be unique in that it's the 5 SB wins/dynasty and, equally important, that he leaves the team in good shape with a bright future. That's a bold goal, but what else would you expect. As a fan, you have to love that if it's true.
