And that's what makes BB and the job he does EVERY year even more remarkable and special. How many other coaches can deal with the kind of turnover (especially his coaching staff) that he has to deal with and continue to field a contender EVERY season? Even the two times last decade that the Pats missed the playoffs it was by the slimmest of margins. The guy is the best to ever do it, IMHO.
The elite QBs allow this to happen.
Manning
Brady
Montana
Young
Marino
Elway
etc....
I hear you, Deus. But in fairness to BB (and to defend my point) our elite QB was not the reason we won last week. Our elite QB didn't bring this team to an 11-5 record in 2008. Our elite QB had a few stinkers this past season as well, and it was the defense that bailed them out.
With all that said, your point is not lost on me by a long shot. In fact, I've been of the belief that BB is a lot luckier to have TB than the other way around. I know many will disagree and some will flame me for saying that, but I truly believe that.
Facts are facts. However BB was smart enough to keep 4 QB's in TFB's rookie season. TFB said that he spent game days in the stands eating nacho's.
Even the GOAT QB of all time is not enough for losing the core defensive players that the Patriots have over the past 4 years. That is why I have felt all alone that this team was a year away. But here we are in another SB. :rocker:

It's too bad that Wheatley and Darius Butler were complete BUSTS.
As 2nd rd picks at CB, they really set us back a couple years and made us waste more picks on CB's that we could've used at other positions.
Meriweather being a knucklehead certainly didnt help. Shawn Crable, Ron Brace, Jermaine Cunningham....etc....
We could've been fully rebuilt if they weren't all BUSTS.
Luckily we've been fortunate enough to find some decent UDFA
...and they made it to the Super Bowl despite BBs ineptitude as a GM.

Indeed. Guess which positions they'll be drafting in the upcoming draft? If you said CB and S you'd be correct...but they probably won't....but they should (with a different talent evaluation process).
