I hate Shula as much as any Patriots fan but to be honest I don't care about the record. Some of the wins in his record come from Bill's time in Cleveland so it doesn't make much difference to me if the last handful come with the Giants or Chargers. Either way at this rate he won't get it here unless Kraft has given a lifetime achievement award perpetual contract the way Andy wants.Because I still want him to break Shula's record....he needs 16 wins...much better if he goes to a team that will finish 6-11 this year...and win 10 games and maybe a playoff game....then win 5 more in 2025...just so Shula rolls over in his grave.
Honestly, aside from the Giants game...I am not seeing anymore wins this year...and a massive overhaul in the off-season...
I agree on Brady having one or maybe multiple...but remember that Brady never starts if he went anywhere else...he was going to supplant Bledsoe in Belichick's mind...but BB needed an injury to make it happen then BB stuck with Brady.
Had Brady gone anywhere else...he might have beeb cut in year 2-3 or ended up a journey man...sometimes it is about opportunity/reps....
As for BB winning one on his own...the same deal...opportunity...he would have never been able to coach 25 seasons or so without any success. I mean many coaches wash out and they never got
to coach a HOF QB. I think BB would have been as good as Reid was with the Eagles....
I find it hard to believe Brady wouldn't have caught on somewhere and ended up as the starter. By all accounts Brady made huge strides from his rookie year to his second year and whether he bounced around or not he would have found a job somewhere. While there was certainly some luck involved in his story I don’t think he lucked into being the greatest of all time.
