I remember at this time last year, we were talking about if Brady had regressed passed a point of no return. The answer is a resounding no, the roster in 2019 was full of scrubs on offense with an injured Edelman. Brady now has AB,Evans, Godwin and Gronk back and his completion percentage rose from 60% to 65% and he has thrown 40 touchdown passes this year. Colin Cowherd said it best, Rivers Brees and Ben look old but Brady is still playing great and defying time. If Bill had agreed to try and get some more weapons on offense, maybe TB would have accepted less money to stay in NE.
1. The Pats had about fifty bucks of cap space.
2. The Pats did try to get Brady weapons. They signed Antonio Brown. They drafted a WR in the first round. They traded for Sanu ( Brady's choice).
3. They went to four of the last six Super Bowls and won three.
4. Because of cap space management, free agent signings, coaching and etc etc... the Pats have had a unprecedented twenty year run resulting in 13 AFCCG appearances, 9 Super Bowl appearances and Six wins.
5. Belichick and Brady were together Six years longer than the next successful tandem. Six years. They got tired of each other?
6. For whatever reason, and I don't care what the reason was, their relationship soured. They got divorced.
7. The cap space was a factor. Did BB have some poor drafts? Yes. But did he try to surround Brady with weapons? Yes he did.
Not aiming this at the OP but WTF.
What a bunch of whiny sniveling twits.
If you're *****ing and are.....
Over 40 - phuck off. You've never had a better twenty year ride in your life. And half of you probably got married and divorced during the ride.
30 - 40 - phuck off. You're too young to realize that you had the best ride of your life. And half of you are probably filing for divorce after ten years of marriage.
20-30. -. Phuck off. You were born into a dynasty and was fed great moment after great moment with the proverbial golden spoon. What a bunch of spoiled pink hats.
10-20. - There's still hope for you. Slap your pink hat dad a couple of times for me. Will you?
BB built a playoff team in Cleveland. He built the Patriots into a Dynasty and he'll build them up again. No doubt in my mind.
I truly don't understand this "who was more valuable" bull shyt because the answer is they both supplied us an incredible twenty year run.
I love both Brady and BB. I'm enjoying watching Brady do his thing down in Tampa and I'm enjoying watching BB rebuilding the Pats.
Will he rebuild the Pats to what they were over the last twenty years? No. It's impossible. The BB/TB dynamic has only happened once in NFL history. It was special. Will BB rebuild the Pats into playoff contenders? Absolutely.
