1. trading Jamie Collins.
New England won the SB without him, @ $12m he wouldn't be here now
2. Benching Malcom butler because of pride.
We don't know why Butler was benched. The only point made that might be valid
3. 4th and 2 vs Indy in 2009
The D was gassed, if the spot is right that call is brilliant
4. Trading Richard Seymour
Seymour went on to play 53 more games total, Solder is still playing 2 rings later
5. Trading Randy moss to the Vikings.
Moss was a distraction, playing poorly and wasn't coming back ($)
6. Trading jimmy G
Jimmy was leaving after the season, they kept their Brady insurance as long as they could and netted a back up. We don't know what the pick rec'd will end up doing.
bill will go down as one of the most if not the greatest coach and GM of all time but he has made a few bonehead decisions over the years. Thankfully the good mostly outweighs the bad. Except the butler decision because that probably cost us the game.

Who’s going to be the QB for the future? We have to pick one this year...

Classic "grasping at straws" . Only 2 is debatable. 4th and 2 is the same call pederson made in the superbowl.

Trading Seymour without any type of acceptable replacement who could act as 75% of the player at DE was (in my opinion) a huge mistake, and we paid dearly for that for awhile, but we also received a first round draft pick for a player who was basically at the end of his career and wasn’t likely to be re-signed due to contract demands, so I don’t have as much issue with that as some do.
Collins was a freelancer who wasn’t going to be retained. That one was easy.
The 4th and 2 call wasn’t as bad as it looked due to our defense being so gassed, and Faulk may actually have picked it up with a more reasonable spot anyway, so it’s hard to nitpick that one for me.
Moss basically ran his mouth and forced his way out of town, plus Brady was locking in on him and throwing picks, anyway. Spreading the ball out more paid off to the tune of a 14-2 record that year, and we began to utilize the 2 TE sets. We also took MIN for a high round draft pick (3rd) and got three years of Moss + a better pick than we gave up (4th). I don’t know why that’s even on the list.
Trading Mankins saw early season challenges that resulted in a SB victory at the end of the year, so that’s another controversial move that seemed to pay off in the end.
The only one that pisses me off was allowing JG to walk, but it’s also a possibility that they may have signed him to a 3-4 year high priced deal (that never would’ve realistically happened) only to watch him continue to ride the bench for most of it, getting very little value, if any, in return. I can’t realky blame that on Belichick, but moreso bad timing.
You’re thinking of 2015, and I agree that attempting to run with Steven Jackson didn’t seem to pan out. At all. Unfortunately, there were lots of injuries to our receiving options, IIRC. Also, the OL wasn’t playing well.The Jets playoff game with the Welker benching was a low point. Kraft afterward asked if we even had a game plan. Another waste was recently, I forgot the year, where we squandered the one seed playing stupidly in the last few games and had to go to Denver.

Belichick's made plenty of bad decisions and some really bad decisions. Everyone does that. It's part of the human condition. What sets BB apart from so many others in football is that he seems to make fewer of those truly bad decisions, and that he seems more able than most to overcome bad decisions.
I highly doubt that Mayfield will be anywhere close to available by the time we pick at #31, so that concern is almost certainly irrelevant.Who’s going to be the QB for the future? We have to pick one this year, I’m not sure who they’re even looking at. In a perfect world, I’d want baker mayfield but Kraft has learned his lesson from Hernandez about drafting high risk players. Mayfield has an attitude
