-That Bill has more allies in the media to smear Kraft? Thinking that’s a stretch.
-If in fact Bill was trying to embarrass Mac and or Kraft by pulling him, wouldn’t that potentially say that Bill never wanted Mac from the git go?
- Agree they probly never liked each other. Come from different spectrums of leadership.
- Absolutely more important than Brady at the beginning. Equal as it progressed.
-Agree he did cause his downfall at the end. Ended up playing homage to the great Icarus
- Bill has plenty of allies in the press. I never said he had more. Bill has plenty of ways to get his point of view or spin or whatever into the media. It isn't a stretch.
- There has never been a single report that Belichick didn't want Mac. There is one report where he preferred to wait to take a QB in the second or third round, but never that he was against drafting Mac. And Belichick gushing over Mac in the late winter of 2022 tells me that he was probably satisfied with Mac until the disaster of the Patricia experiment happened. Mac was not the only one who went into the doghouse pretty quickly that season. Hoyer was basically forced out of the team for what looked to be a relatively minor concussion and Bourne was in the dog house all year.
