Speculation about why Belichick is still coaching

[sb1]

He was told to draft Brady by a man that is dead.

Since then, BB has drafted QBs who have won nothing. If BB could identify an NFL QB we would not have had Cam. The Pats would have won a playoff game in 3 years.

“Since then”… so we’re moving the goalposts now? I thought BB couldn’t draft QB’s… now it’s couldn’t draft QBs since Brady? Make up yer mind.

Why doesn't Bobby Grier get any of the credit for TB12?

I understood that. I still want Belichick to break the record though.

Same here, but I wouldn’t want him to hang on until he’s 80’ to do it. I think he will retire after next season, record or not, but I think it’s because of a pre planned plan of succession, with Mayo taking over as head coach, Groh as head of Football operations, and Wolf in charge of player personnel. I think this is why they paid Mayo not to take coaching offers, I believe he has been assured the job. That’s just my opinion on it, and even though he’s black i’m guessing it would violate league rules, so they would probably engage in the same charade every other franchise engages in when hiring a coach, despite already knowing who they want, I could be wrong, and Belichick could hang on until he has one more win than Shula, but he’s certainly not running the franchise the way a guy who wants wins immediately would run it. By this I mean he’s not going all in for 1-2 years, but is taking a much more methodical approach, that will leave them in much better shape going forward, whether he retires or not.

Funny that the same people who have for years insisted that Belichick ignores his scouts and assistants on personnel matters was doing what a lower ranking assistant commanded him to do at QB. Doesn’t get any dumber than that, but we always have to consider the source of the comment, who is uniquely stupid.

Youre a myopic Homer.

Biggest one too. No matter what occurs its always all good in your delusional world.

Ok then you can prove who is myopic.
You said if belichick knew how to draft a qb we would have won a playoff game in the last 3 years. So go ahead and show me all those coaches who never went 3 years without a playoff win.

I’ll get you started
Andy Reid went 6 years
Tomlin currently has gone 6
Harbaugh went 5
Shula went 8
Landry went 7 once and 6 another time
Lombardi went 3
Bill Walsh went 3
Parcells went 3, then 3, then 5 (representing 11 of his 19 years as a HC)

So I guess all of those guys didn’t know how to draft QBs.

We want Belechick to stay because the replacement will not be better.

So every other team throughout the history of the draft have made selections with no input from scouts and position coaches?

Credit always goes to the man making the selections and they all do so with the input of many scouts and coaches.

Brady, Cassel, Hoyer, Jimmy G, Brissett, and Mac is a pretty good list for a guy who up until Mac always had his franchise QB.

I know you’re going to hate to hear this, but I’d be on board with the team cutting bait if they don’t win a playoff game this year. The only exception I’d make to that is if the team suffers a key injury (I.E., Mac). Then I’d give him one more year. If not, I’m good with it if that’s the direction the Krafts want to go. Most coaches get 2-3. Some get 1. He gets 5-6 years. Seems fair.

IMO BB should have been sacked for letting Brady walk!

Kraft was to blame as he didn’t want him either.

They probably wouldn’t have won anything anyway with him. The fact that TB got his 7th ring (surpassing even MJ in the process) making TB haters seeth even more was a good consolation prize

Stop acting like drafting Tom Brady was some sort of Belichick master plan. The Patriots stumbled ass backwards into drafting the guy.

Any impartial analysis of the Brady draft pick would have to conclude it was as much (or more) like than it was some sort of plan.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Jimmy choked in the Super Bowl when the chips were down. SF was afraid to give him the ball before the half with plenty of time to score.

Shanahan’s horrendous late play calling, Jimmy not seeing the open man and the defense (secondary) were all responsible for the Super Bowl collapse.

I didn’t say anything about a master plan, I was replying to the statement that BB can’t draft QBs. The GOAT was drafted by BB, hence using just that one example that statement is false. Full stop.

So, you don't give him any credit in developing TB? TB worked hard and deserves the lion's share of the credit, but BB did a lot to develop him and the team around him into multi champions.

How does it feel knowing that barring injury your boy Zappy Smurf will never start another game for this team or any other team ever again?

The Smurf is not an NFL caliber starting QB.

 

[sb1]

The smurf’s next job?

Andy Reid does not do the KC drafting they have a GM named Brett Veach. You know like when they hired Pioli.

Tomlin does not do the drafting in Pitt. They have a GM named Omar Khan.

Landry had Tex Schram as his GM who drafted Don Merideth, Craig Morton, Roger Staubach, Danny White.

Youre not informed.

The smurf’s next job?

Youre going in after the trapeze act.

The smurf would be better at that than playing QB and trying to throw a football past the other team’s DL….
