1). Your willful ignorance involves demonstrably not caring to understand how/why things work on a professional football team.
This is such a wastebasket statement. Meaningless drivel so you can avoid an actual debate. Seriously you keep replying to my posts without saying anything about the topics.
For instance, that overhauling an offensive system mid-season is a nonstarter and why only a change of that magnitude would've significantly improved the Patriots' offensive fortunes last season. You also habitually offer personally biased conjecture as established fact, which is both ignorant AND dishonest.
What? The offense stunk and there was open suggestion of Belichick getting more involved to straighten things out. It was reported, posted, talked about... correct? Clarify your understanding of this... was it suggested or not? Did it happen or not?... from your understanding, I'm curious.
My feeling is Belichick has a degree of involvement in everything, it's how he's wired. Probably after so many successful offensive seasons with Brady (and whichever OC because it hardly mattered given the annual results), Belichick backed off the offense somewhat, especially considering it was the stronger unit from 2007 through 2018.
I think Belichick believed Patricia would be successful under his guidance and there likely was a highly collaborative effort throughout. I'm sure adjustments were made (by Patricia and Belichick), but they finished the season 2-5 (with the 2 wins against backup QBs), so it just didn't work at all (which IS established fact).
2). Because you claim to "pay attention to everything" doesn't preclude fair-weather fandom. We already addressed this (post No. 52).
Fair-weather fan means I only pay attention to the team when things are going well. You can't change the definition to fit your argument.
3). No. You are blinded by hatred for Bill Belichick, disdain for Robert Kraft and dismissal of Mac Jones.
Don't hate Belichick, I think he's overrated, I've stated the case multiple times. He's still an all time great head coach, you can't dispute the résumé, but he's not the clear GOAT (although he may still establish that), too many glaring mistakes at this point. The argument for GOAT GM is even tougher to make and he's (undeniably imo) a mediocre drafter.
Distain for Kraft? How's that?
Dismissal of Mac as a clear franchise quarterback? Yes. But given the exact right set of circumstances - improved coaching, improved supporting cast, and a complimentary top 5 defense - then I could see him being good enough. I don't think he's a bum.
