What do you think the going rate for a franchise QB is? The Pats were never breaking the bank with Tom. 2 yrs for $50m. That’s all it would have taken, not $35m+ per yr like other top QBs.
At what point did I say I cared about what "the world thinks"? People have their impressions, acknowledging they exist isn't the same as caring about them. You asked a question. I answered it.
The Butler benching is the easiest thing a Belichick detractor can point to. It's just too obvious. The guy played nearly 100% of the defensive snaps for 3 straight years. He was in uniform on the sideline. He played in the game, just not on defense. He never said he couldn't play in the game. In fact he said he could have changed the outcome. If you want to argue Butler wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome then that's one thing but saying he was complicit in his own benching is ridiculous.
Firstly, Belichick wasn't successful in Cleveland. Unless you consider 1 playoff appearance and 1 playoff win in 5 seasons a success. Which if you do then I probably should just stop now.
Really? You think the guy who reworked his contract a hundred times over his career suddenly started obsessing over money?
Please translate.
Of course that's alarming, but it does not make sense. why all of a sudden? What happened? And Butler played on special teams, just not the regular defense. Even in the butler quote doesn't say I went to Bill before the game to tell him, out of the blue, i'm not 100% focused. His quote really sounds like a player that does not want to call out his former coach after landing with another team. We no something happened with Butler the week leading up to the Superbowl, but based on what we know there is no reason to dress him, play him on special teams but punish him by not playing him on defense and in the process rearranging the entire secondary for the entire game when any casual fan could see the defense was in disarray by halftime at most.
Brady still has it. He's not declining. He's won 2 Super Bowls in the last 3. And no you don't screw your salary cap by devoting $25m to the QB position, not when other teams devote $45m. $25m is a bargain. We could have easily held onto Brady this year.
Heard this BS before, Ring 6 make a burner account?
You think 2020 was Brady's second best season? So what you're telling me is you don't really understand what you're talking about and just grasping on to some emotional straws because you're sad Brady left. Got it.
Perhaps you heard it before because it's the correct take?
Btw check my account. I've been on this board since 2006. I just don't post here often because I find most Patriots fans to be dumb as ****
It's simply not credible and total nonsense that Butler all of a sudden freaked out and told Bill he couldn't focus. Just 2 weeks prior he played fairly good against Jacksonville in the AFCCG. He didn't allow a TD, just one long pass. He was third in tackles (6). See highlights of the game below.
I dunno man. As everyone knows I'm a BB undies-sniffer but I love Malcolm. That whole situation was heartbreaking.
Very good post but it doesn't explain why BB wouldn't of put him in in the second half. If he was really just lacking focus, or sick, or something of that nature, you had nothing to lose at that time. Put him in? If it was discipline, one half was enough punishment no? Everything you said is fine and the problem lies in the fact that any way you look at it, the situation was BS. I like both guys but one of them is responsible for making the other one leave and one of them is responsible for the defense in that SB. I don't want BB fired, but I'd like him to explain wtf he was doing but he's above that too. The people coming in here and having the balls to say that somehow BB is responsible for the player Brady is today is complete nonsense. Never do we hear that about other players. Somehow even this team's own fans believe that this coach has magical powers and that Brady isn't an elite QB. They aren't saying it but it's implied all over their posts. He's a coach, he's the best coach but still just a coach and he's had some of the biggest fireable offenses in the history of the NFL. That SB and the Brady contract are major blunders. Brees can come back next year if he wants broken arm and all. Anything he wants. They know how to handle a team legend. Bill couldn't help but be Bill, no exceptions. Ridiculous. I said it last year and regardless of anything that happened this year on both teams, you should of given Brady what he wanted he had earned it. I don't want to hear from the old ass hard line clowns saying no one is above the team. I'm not talking about you but they, as much if not more than the Brady ass eaters, are responsible for this **** show we find ourselves in. The media is having a field day with this.
