The line had barely any starters left.
Whoa, if I would've known the voters were going to get exposed, I would've used my other double secret account handle.
One of the best theories that I've seen here is this;
I didn't know that I could vote for multiple choices so I changed.
Pretty good theory but you can make the argument that without Brady Bill was on his way to being fired in 2001. Could he of won 2 on another team? Would he of even gotten the chance to coach again with his reputation? On the other side of it would Brady of even played anywhere without Bill? Keeping a 4th QB in 2000 and then keeping Tom in instead of his starter and winning the SB is legendary stuff.
The truly weird thing about this so-called 2010-2013 decline is that those were Brady's and the offense's best years statistically. He won an MVP in those years. The offense put up a ridiculous amount of points, one of the most prolific offenses in history. In particular 2012. Gronk, Hernandez, Welker, gave Brady an incredible amount of options.
He wasn't getting fired, BB and RK had a five year plan, don't know why this keeps getting repeated.
You're right, every coach with a 5 year plan lasted that long. Gruden has a 10 year plan and I'm sure he'll last that long....
BBs 1st deal was for 5 years and $2m per. I don't think he would have been fired for a missing the playoffs in 01 but he absolutely would have been on the hot-seat in 02.
Lol Brady might as well claim his National championship ring if we're getting this stupid.
Fans, including fans who are passionate enough to post on message boards, tend to look for the easy answers, particularly when the easy answers absolve their team. In 2013, while some of us here were talking about how it was the crappy receivers that were leading to Brady's apparent decline, most here were thinking it was Brady in decline. And, to be fair, it's very likely that BB thought the same thing (which was obviously a bad read on his part).
