lobster said:My personal view is Belichick doesn't like to deliver bad news to players, and it's made some of the players very angry. Bledsoe should have been told that Belichick had changed his mind and decided to go with Brady instead of letting Bledsoe figure it out for himself. Andruzzi should have been told the Pat's weren't going to offer him a new contract, he really wanted to come back but was left hanging. There are probably others and that could have led Borges to conclude Belichick is an awful person.
BB doesn't like to deliver bad news? Someone want to get Bernie Kosar on the phone? I'd be willing to bet BB delivers bad news just fine. My suspicion is BB possibly holds off on delivering bad news if it is advantageous to the team to not yet make the decision absolutely final.
Here is what I expect from BB. Do what's best for the team and let the chips fall where they may. This is what I expect from the players. If selected to play, play your hardest. If let go from the team, seek the very best situation you can somewhere else. This is what I don't expect. Player A to be feeling shocked and jilted if BB goes with Player B, as long as, in BB's opinion, Player B gives the team a better chance to succeed. As a simple fan, it is obvious this is BB's way. I can't believe a player could be that naive about BB. For those thinking it unfair?? If BB no longer gives the team the best chance to win, expect Kraft to go with Coach B. That's the way the cookie crumbles.......
