yeah I’ll take my chances with the greatest coach in the history of the sport.
Not even close to the same situations.Having watched The Last Dance and learnt more about some of the behind the scenes events after the ‘97 season I find it incredibly that Jerry Krause is still held in such high regard. Jerry wanted to break-up the team after the ‘97 season and only agreed to return Phil and MJ for one more season (MJ had said he would only play for Phil). Why is Krause not demonized more?
Even after it was demonstrably shown he was dead wrong to break up the ‘98 team (they won after all), he still keeps yapping that everyone was over the hill and about to collapse blah blah. See below.
Krause explains why Bulls’ dynasty unraveled, in his words
And infact he wanted to blow up the team even earlier and we might not have gotten the 3 peat. Reminds me of BB wanting to keep JG and we might have missed out on the 2016 and 2018 SBs.
And now BB the GM has been dead set on proving he can win without Brady and that sounds exactly like Krause. And Kraus’ rebuilding famously bombed and failed. He might as well have kept the team together for ‘99 as well and who knows. Winning Championships and SBs are HARD.
I just feel BB the GM is doomed to repeat the same mistakes Krause made.
I wasn't referring to his past, I was referring to the notion Pippen would turn down a massive contract elsewhere to return.« Grossly underpaid ». There are two parts to that. Yes, other players in the league were earning more $. Yes, Pippen was most likely top 5 in the league.
But, Pippen had accepted long-term financial security instead of rolling the dice and betting on himself. I don’t invest money on risky stocks. I don’t spend my life savings on risky ventures. I like being cautious and living well, while knowing I’ll never be wealthy. I don’t cry about being underpaid, because I’m choosing security over the bet of getting richer... Pippen got security. No one forced him to sign a long term.
The optics on Krause were very purposeful by Jordon, as were the optics on Pippen. Jordon was being Jordon I guess and never forgetting or forgiving ANY slight, real or perceived.Thought vilifying Krause was the worst part of the series. It’s immature, rewriting history, and taking every awkward word and facial expression of his career to make him be the bad guy in absentia. Classless and baseless.
Krause if a HoF GM who mad et tough calls, yet rebuilt around two alltime greats TWICE.
Jordan & Pippen were exceptional players, but also a-holes and babies. The latter whines about how he’s portrayed, yet as a 50 something he offers that he’d “do the same thing” (walk out of a playoff game). Jordan didn’t NEED to be a huge massive you-know-what. Russell didn’t. Brady didn’t. It’s his huge ego and personality.
The portrayal of Krause was BS. Having said that, BB is just one level ahead - even as a GM. The entire BB crybaby bad GM crowd around here has no idea what they are talking about. BB is a HoF GM even w/o coaching a down.
You don’t need to act like for those two streches BB had awful QB.
Maybe if he had those results with a QB like Nathan Petterman maybe i would have gone in your direction.
Cassel went 11-5 on a team where Brady Would have been 14-2 and Cassel was elected in the pro bowl two years after that.
^Jimmy G was a very good QB with a lot of promise and he just played in a SB. And Brisset won some games two.
He sure has. Brady on the other hand hasn't done jack squat in this league without Belichick. If it wasn't for Belichick, he wouldn't even be in the league right now.so don’t act like BB has done it with nothing!

Brady would've gone at least 13-3 with the 2008 team...I really doubt Brady would have done more than one win better than Cassel did. If that. The defense was kinda bad that year. Brady also did one win worse the year after that...
Please......Brady on the other hand hasn't done jack squat in this league without Belichick. If it wasn't for Belichick, he wouldn't even be in the league right now.
Bill is respected, begrudgingly, by players; I doubt he's beloved by them...Yeah he’s Jerry Krause
if Jerry Krause drafted Michael Jordan
if Jerry Krause was also Phil Jackson
if Jerry Krause reloaded multiple times for multiple championships and built entirely new teams
if Jerry Krause was beloved by the players
Brady would've gone at least 13-3 with the 2008 team...
This is foolish lolDoubt it. Not with that defense. Would have beaten maybe the Jets but still would have gotten waxed by the Steelers, Dolphins, Chargers and probably still lost to the Colts.
This is foolish lol
What? You're somehow holding it against BB that he went 14-6 with his own backup QB's????
You realize the Steelers have not beaten Tom Brady at Gillette ever right?Doubt it. Not with that defense. Would have beaten maybe the Jets but still would have gotten waxed by the Steelers, Dolphins, Chargers and probably still lost to the Colts.
Typical Biffins trash.
Not even close to the same situations.
Where is @Biffins?I could not have said it better. Biffins struggles a great deal when posting.
Yes I did. It’s foolish to think Brady who played much better wouldn’t be a big enough difference maker.How so? Did you watch the defense that year?
