Hey folks, I'm the OP that started this debate. It's actually an interesting question to consider. Of course, BB is a GREAT coach. And to this point, he'll go down as the best NFL coach of all time. He should; he's very deserving. I don't think he necessarily is the best at working the...
I'm guessing none. We'll see what a genius Belichick is when he pushes TB out the door. I have a feeling Bill wants to show everyone he can win without Tom Brady -- that's why he's keeping JG and that's why Tom isn't going to be around much longer in NE.
Good luck, Bill. You're going to need it.
I actually think NE could have gotten more than a 1 & 2 for JG. Heck, both Houston & KC gave up 2 #1's to get a QB. BB likely turned down AT LEAST 2 #1's AND more.
What does that tell you? You don't turn down that much for a guy who likely won't even play this year UNLESS you've decided he's...
You absolutely nailed it! That's it -- the only logical conclusion for passing on picking up multiple assets (picks) is if you think TB won't be here after next season and JG is going to be your QB. You can't give JG the franchise tag, have Tom Brady still on your team and eat up all your...
You're right; the logic....doesn't make a lot of sense. It's Belichick being Belichick I guess. But if you do keep him for another year, you'll have to franchise him and that's over $20 million for a backup. The Pats might be able to pull it off but it will be a huge strain and prevent them...
He did a really good job here and for very little money. He deserves to be paid more. I hope someone gives it to him. But no, it won't be with the Patriots.
Great Patriot and invaluable in his time here. Thanks indeed!
Yes, the block was amazing. Also the TD where he carried about 3 guys in to the end zone wasn't bad. He's very talented, always has been. You're right though, those 5 guys currently on the roster are locks. I would hope they'd carry an extra WR. I realize it's a long shot, but think he's...
I just go back to this: how long will Belichick be here? Could Brady outlast the head coach?
I assume Brady still has two years of being elite as ever and two more years of still being a very good QB with a slight dip. That's 4 years of Brady. JG will not be here if Brady is still the QB...
I assume almost everyone will say no, he's not needed. And perhaps that's true. But I liked what I saw in his limited time here.
WR position is pretty full. But a cheap one year contract? Anyone?
GodBrady,
Good post. Can't disagree with many of your points. Bennett and Peterson on paper might be better than Allen and Gilleslee. Either way, both would be very good moves for the Patriots.
I think for Belichick, as he's mentioned, he selects players he wants to coach, guys that fit, or...
