Kraft Forced Belichick to Trade JG

[Kdo5]

For now I don't believe it.

However, if BB were to surprise us all by quitting after this season is over then I would retroactively give it a lot more belief.

There is no way he quits. This is idiotic.

Bill gets more leeway with the roster than any coach in who knows how long. He has built this culture in NWE for 17 years (deservedly). He likes the coaches under him, he likes the players. He is never leaving for another franchise. Stupid talk.

Even if it is true and Bill didn't like it, boo hoo. Bill has to ride or die with the GOAT who continues to play at the top of his game.

It's a bye week....I wonder what we'll all talk about....anyone?....subjects?...anyone?

Belichick to Burr: Go FK yourself.

 

[patfanken]

Not sure why it's such a crazy thought. 6is indebted to Brady for making his team worth billions.

Tine out - Kraft already had 6 seasons of sellouts, and a recent superbowl appearance BEFORE Brady came on the scene. The new stadium was already in the works BEFORE Brady came on the scene.

This isn't to demean Brady's accomplishments or his impact to this franchise, but there have been many others who helped this along, ESPECIALLY during the first 3 superbowls.

I'm sure there is a true love between Brady and Kraft, but BB still is the one who controls the roster. In the end why wouldn't you get something for an asset that isn't in the mix today, when at the end of the year, you are likely to get nothing. Brady is still universally viewed as a top 5 QB in the league. And he doesn't have to play until he's 45 to prove his system works ( f0r him at least)

His latest tweet:



Again, absolutely nothing shocking there -- I have no reason to believe Brady's camp didn't feel this way. And I have no reason to expect less from Belichick either.

In fact, what this tells me is that his source is more likely Brady's caddy than Jim Nantz....

Yeah, this is sensationalized common sense.

 

[PatsDeb]

I was just thinking - it could be true. It could be like the time that Kraft forced BB to stick with his favorite son Drew Bledsoe instead of that young upstart what's-his-name? The kid with the pizza who boldy told Kraft that he'd be the best decision Kraft ever made? Yeah, Kraft interfered on that one too.

NFL Films captures Belichick embracing Brady and Blount on the field after SB51:

"I LOVE YOU GUYS!"

Not captured on camera: Belichick to Garoppolo:

"I LOVE YOU MORE!"

Belichick to Burr: Go FK yourself.

He would have to know who burr is, or at least anyone in the entire NFL would have to know who burr is for him to say that

 

[rochrist]

He's an established sports journalist. Making **** up will only hurt his credibility. He doesn't work for ESPN and has no reason to throw his name into a cesspool of **** journalist just for some retweets.

In all likelihood his source is incorrect.

Making **** up will only hurt his credibility? So, you're basically admitting you haven't looked at or read any sports journalism in the last quarter century.

No. He doesn't. Because he's the GOAT of his profession. He can do whatever the **** he wants.

To the OP. You are fast becoming my least favorite poster.

I know you jest but in the 17+ years those two have been together I do believe there have been a handful of circumstances in which BB wanted to do something and Kraft said not necessarily a "no" but a strong recommendation not to follow through on a certain transaction.

Clearly Kraft isn't going to overrule BB on a player evaluation but on other matters such as maybe a player has a criminal past that he just can't overlook, etc.

 

[Drewwho]

I believe it!
Since the Deflategate presser where BB said "talk to the Quarterback", I have always believed that BB and TB had a strained relationship. BB has a huge ego and I am sure he hates hearing it's all Tom Brady. Sure, BB is appreciative of TB (as well he should be), but I feel very confident that he is not all warm and fuzzy when it comes to his HOFer GOAT QB. Just too much spotlight for the 6th rounder. BB wants 2 things; 1-to win and 2-to want everyone to believe he is 'the' reason they win!

His entire 'Team" mantra is what makes the man tick. Tom Brady gets squarely in the way of that. Without Brady, BB's record is pedestrian at best and he desperately wants to prove himself without TB12.

BB's stats without Brady:
55-64 (yes that includes 2008)
zero division titles
1 playoff win
zero super bowl appearances

BB's stats with Brady:
213-63
14 division titles
25 playoff wins
7 super bowl appearances
5 super bowl wins

Michael Lombardi retweeted the BB-TB relationship tweet, for what it's worth.

No he didn't? It's not on Lombardi's timeline. Nothing from that Ryan Burr guy is.

Anyone who uses felger and mazz in a sentence and there is not the word dogshit in this sentence referencing them should be banned from here.

Was this English? I’m going to need your translation on this.

 

[TomPatriot]

He would have to know who burr is, or at least anyone in the entire NFL would have to know who burr is for him to say that

He reports for the Golf Channel. Putts, Punts. Same thing.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

I'm happy that Ryan Burr is verified. But I still haven't got the slightest idea why I should give him any credence whatsoever. I think A) Kraft is way to smart to do something like that, and B) If he was stupid enough to do it, Bill would be gone at the end of the year.

Listen to Belichick's words about (backup QB) Jimmy G. Burr's comments ring VERY true and I believe them.

 

[Lee144]

Can you provide a link to a story about this?

Let me google that for you: Tom Brady's most dangerous game

 

[BadMoFo]

No he didn't? It's not on Lombardi's timeline. Nothing from that Ryan Burr guy is.

He re-tweeted early on. A person can remove a re-tweet at any point.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

We'll see how you feel about it in 5 years.

Exactly!! Brady's game (accuracy is really spotty) is slipping and he's 40 years old. If Jimmy G can play then this move was a major mistake and one forced by Kraft....and Kraft will own it not Belichick.
