I have grown increasingly intolerant of the self deluded "fans". You know the ones I mean. They sincerely belieive that they are God' gift to (unrecognized) coaching and general manager-ship.
At first I thought it was all in good and harmless fun. But as their screeching has attained greater volume, and their sef-delusion grows, it now irritates me even more.
When Belichick stated coaching in Cleveland, it took him four years to rebuild the talentless Browns. Despite a coaching staff that had half a dozen guys who became and are coaching superstars in college or the pros, it simply took that long. And his draft picks were Top Ten picks because of the poor, losing record of the Browns.
The total rebuild that Belichick had to do starting in 2009, as the old SB players all got old, were retired, and had to be replaced, has been little short of amazing. Unlike the typical rebuilding, he only had one, 1, O_N_E, top ten pick to use, (Mayo),and he did find a Superstar LB.
That is because he has never had a team that didn't win at least 11 games a year, his re-building teams turn in 11-5 records, NOT the typical 5-11 losing records that "normal" rebuilding clubs do.
He even managed to make a Superbowl appearance with a deeply flawed Defensive club, and a one dimensional Offense, overly reliant on an over-used, single smurf WR!
Why are you *****in' about that performance? Because some of his end of round picks in round 2, 3 haven't all turned into instant All Pros? Here is news for you, neither has anyone elses, either.
The mild re-building that Belichick had to perform in 2000, had many of the established young players left over from the Parcells-Belichick years, simply not enough of them. He still had young stars in Bruschi, McGinnest, Bledsoe, Law, Milloy etc. The only thing he could salvage in starting in 2009 was a NT and a recently injured QB.
With a little perspective we could look back and say that four year coaching and rebuilding, merits consideration as one of the best extended coaching and GM stretches in the history of the League.
When you ***** about the secondary, please remember that you need 10-12 good secondary players, in a heavily injured position. That is fully 1/4 of the entire team personnel. You don't rebuild that in a single of even in multiple seasons. But he is getting there. Now we ***** about fourth and fifth reserves, while the able starters are relatively ignored.
Grow up son, and... Count your blessings.
