Faraway hills are always greener.
Shula really won nothing with Dan Marino who should finished his NFL career as the GOAT. Does that make Shula a nobody?
It's a hypothetical proposed by thread. Is there anyone here who is actually ready right now to fire Belichick?
Look at both dynasties. The early years lived off of Seymour (most important), Wilfork, Warren, Light, Branch, Mankins and late returns of Samuel as their core draft picks. You could even throw in Graham, Watson and Givens as well. The 2005-2008 drafts were bad and it showed up in playoff games in 2005-2007. The 2nd dynasty doesn't happen without landing Gronk (most important), Hernandez, Hightower, Chandler Jones, McCourty (transitioning to S), Thuney, Mason, Vollmer, Collins for a couple years and late returns with Edelman as the core. The drafts of 2014-2019 were ignored because the players above carried the team. The correlation of these picks in both dynasties was that many of these players were considered near the top of their respected positions with Pro Bowls/All Pros. These were the foundations of both teams. They don't have that now. They have ZERO core players that have recently been drafted. It's a tough concept for many posters to understand.
I think it’s time for him to walk away.
Bedard plays along with the heavily scripted Felger & Mazz show. They've all become caricatures.
Walking away isn't the same as being fired.
No, but I think it's safe to say I'm not alone in my dislike of him, or where I fall in the debate of how others also feel in terms of where he ranks among his peers.
He'd be handling the entire operation, and he's just not my first choice. Again, I don't understand your infatuation with him or why you'd consider him an "upgrade". Is it because Brady likes him? Otherwise, I just don't get why you're in a hurry to push Bill out and replace him with Payton....?
You're overstating my position. Personally I'm not infatuated with Payton at all. I think he's a brilliant offensive minded head coach. His defenses generally sucked so I'm not sure of his impact on that side of the ball. Brees was good but Payton was the main guy of that operation. I don't think Brees is eclipsing 5000 yards with any other head coach. So I like Payton and he's available.
Good for Bob Griese but what's your point?
Brees had the career he had because he played in a dome, I feel like we've talked about that here given the contrast in his play in the elements.
I'm excited to see the threads pop back up in six or seven years (or longer) when absence makes the hearts of those who believe it's time to move on a little fonder. They'll be talking about a decision the new guy makes - and we lost because of it - that "Belichick would never have made" and talk about "the good old days."
True, however this goes back to Kraft saying BB has earned that right. I feel the organization was allowing some time to see how this would go. Obviously it hasn't gone well at all. So again my prediction is after the 2nd bills blow out loss in week 17. Once the season is over the executive decision is made.
Many, if not all those "posters" will not be here Ian......fyi, and imoI'm excited to see the threads pop back up in six or seven years (or longer) when absence makes the hearts of those who believe it's time to move on a little fonder.

And to add to your great points, was reported that krafts grew frustrated with BB continuing to ignore the draft scouts. Hence al groh was involved with the drafting as collaboration. Since then the draft has been pretty solid.
