The Patriots, under BB, Kraft w/TB, has never been based on "Stats".
Jeez, I HATE stats.
The Pats don't recruit based on Draft status.
A lot of teams have one, maybe 2 big play makers.
When they are hurt, suspended...etc, They are a limping dog.
BB spreads it out.
Another teams discarded, "non essential" , good players are welcome here. Depth!!
Guys like Allen, Dorsett (and co.) do much more than catch the ball. : Block, pull coverage, decoys... Nobody has the patience and work ethic that BB does.
Everyone on the roster has a crucial purpose.
TB has/does more for this team than any other QB I've ever witnessed.
Selfless, dedicated, all in.
To compare or question what this team does, or has done, within the current FA structure, is not paying attention.
I've had several Cowpie fans tell me "Romo had a better QBR than TB, in 2014". LOL!!!
This weekend was a perfect example.
Stats...
The Pats won't win the Lombardi every year.
But it's obvious, it's working.
TB doesn't care about stats.
TB is a member of a TEAM.
The eye test. The ring is the thing!!!
...And here he is, knocking on the door AGAIN!!
But, everyone has an opinion.
