Brady vs Belichick: The Verdict

[lancerman]

Reports yes, LEGIT reports, no

They were no less legit than the reports you use to say Belichick didn't want to draft Mac Jones.

I have never said that.

 

[lancerman]

I have never said that.

You also said you weren't Andy Johnson and later said you never said that.

Here we go again.

Feel free to offer any facts to support Lombardi being better than Bill. Or just keep hating your choice.

I'm not the one calling calling my opinions "fact".

And that's not even my opinion I said there are good arguments for and against Bill as GOAT coach along with all of his coaching peers among the greats.

By all means go find a time I said that belichick didn’t want to draft Mac Jones. This board has a search function so it would be very easy to fund, except it doesn’t exist

So STFU.


You are just trying to deflect the statement you were called out on

Got it. So like usual you're just trolling.

You are welcome to prove me wrong if you can. But you cant so you engage in this kind of rhetoric.

TLDR

 

[Thelonious]

Once Brady was done I remember thinking how nobody will ever come close to his SB record, but only a few short years later we're looking at that possibility with Mahomes. He isn't even half way there yet but he's still young.

Bill is a great in-game HC. He's about as cool under fire as any other HC I've seen. A great example of that is the Seattle SB finish and how he calmly stood there at the end of the game and let the time clock dictate the play Seattle had to call. I give Bill the nod by a lot.

That's how it should be: one for one guy, one for the other - because we both know they both ought to get the nod.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

We have an advantage over those youngins because we've seen the players in all sports and in many eras. Seeing tapes of older players doesn't give young fans the same feeling that we have because we lived it and saw which players were most dominant, and not just a flashy highlight reel video.

The other issue I see with some fans is the thought that less teams makes it easier, when it's the exact opposite. When Russell played in the NBA for 13 years he faced Wilt 100 times in the regular season and 50 times in the playoffs. In Lebron's 20 years he might not have half that many games against his top competition. That's a huge difference.

One aspect of athletic competition is pressure.

Stakes is just the beginning. It was 'easier' back in the day to have character and determination because unless you were named Bill or Wilt you were working in the summer time to pay your family's bills.

Whatever outside pressures there are today, players can't claim they're not being paid handsomely.

You still see star studded teams today even in the league's watered-down expanded world.

All the leagues have legislated away much of the violence and hence toughness.

The statistics just don't compare appropriately between eras.

Didn't know where to put this but thought it was a really cool angle others would enjoy seeing.

Some of the arguments presented for Belichick are ridiculous. They claim Belichick drafted Brady, it is a fact that **** Rehbein is the guy who was behind the draft of Brady....

Rehbein never made a draft pick in his career. He was a position coach.

Belichick made the pick and he used a lot of information gathered from scouts, coaches, front office men, Lloyd Carr, and probably a few janitors.

I was in a "coaches don't matter much" frame of mind and I let it cloud my judgement. Mayo's horrendous coaching and posters here helped me come around.

I feel blessed that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick had their stars aligned and that both ended up with the Pats. I wish that Kraft felt the same way but I'm not sure that he does.
