It is also believed he was to pick up Tyree over the middle but...View attachment 30666
Must be hard to go through the rest of your life as not coming through when it mattered.
Strength of schedule should be accounted for here. In 2019 we had one of the easiest first half schedules of recent memory. Once the schedule toughened up we finished 2019 4-4. Last years schedule was more difficult. As well as losing TB we also lost our LB core from that 2019 defense.Why is that not true?
Brady still won regardless of how bad BB drafted or how many low budget players were signed on. Brady won 12 games in 2019 with basically the same bunch of WRs and TEs that Cam struggled to win 7 games with.

It's hard to care much about him anymore now that we've had so many corners just as good or better since 2012.Do the "I deserved more" ex-players ever discuss the deeper rosters Bill was able to afford because he valued quality depth more often than not over the marginal on-field gains that might be realized by breaking the bank to retain certain stars?
Does Asante ever mention he was part of 11 playoff wins/3 SB appearances/2 SB champions with NE and only 3 playoff wins with his higher paying teams the rest of his career?

Side bar:
Is it fair to say, given his Daddy's Patriots-centric flame throwing escapades, that Assante Samuels Jr's New England draft board ranking has taken a bit of a hit?
Additionally a Brady- led offense in 2019 scored as much as a Newton-led offense in 2020.Strength of schedule should be accounted for here.

The Bucs finished with 11 wins. I just don’t see how we finish 12-4 with the drop off in offensive talent and the schedule we played.Additionally a Brady- led offense in 2019 scored as much as a Newton-led offense in 2020.
The D (points allowed and scoring) was the difference
Not too often you see a really good defense - yes overrated but they were still really good- go to complete crap the following year.Additionally a Brady- led offense in 2019 scored as much as a Newton-led offense in 2020.

Yep. No way in hell. Bill saw how the last 10 games of 2019 went and knew with Tom and the same offense and a further weakened defense would be a mediocre 2020 NEP team.The Bucs finished with 11 wins. I just don’t see how we finish 12-4 with the drop off in offensive talent and the schedule we played.
They lost a number of key contributors and over the last 9 games in 2019 were not as good as the first 8 in all catagoriesNot too often you see a really good defense - yes overrated but they were still really good- go to complete crap the following year.
Hopefully we see a rebound in 2021.
That must really sting having an ego like that and getting reminded forever of your front and center role blowing a perfect season.If Assante did his job, the Patriots would have had a 19-0 perfect season. He needs to shut up.
Gawd. If Asante Jr is drafted by BB we might see Asante Sr be the football version of Lavar Ball.Seriously, Asante Samuel Jr. is off the draft table.
