The thread about Belichick's son set off some thoughts about the future of the New England Patriots.
Just assume for a second that the Patriot Dynasty ends in like 6 years, just like every previous Dynasty. It'll never happened, and we'll always be the greatest team in football, but just imagine anyway.
No magical replacement of GOAT coach and GOAT quarterbacks. We flare out like the Steelers, Cowboys and Niners before us.
The ghosts of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are going to linger in that stadium forever-- that team forever.
If we suck and then continued to suck, it'll take about 10 or 15 years to really settle into it, like getting used to riding around on a moped and saying "Chow" when you used to be the Roman Empire.
Whoever has the jobs of coach and quarterback, for the fifteen year window post-BB&TB12, is basically screwed. Nothing will be even close to good enough. Can you imagine a mediocre/****ty team wearing Patriot uniforms? It just sounds disgraceful.
I want to boo just thinking about it. It'll be like their insulting the hoodie and #12.
How bad are those jobs going to be after the retirement of the two GOATs?
