If Brady wins 6th and retires....

[A Defiant Goose]

Nah. I’d want them to start Etling and try to tank for #1 overall and a shot at Lawrence.

Hate that I actually agree with this

 

[ToonPatriot]

We’d have to (hypothetically) tank in 2020, not 2019. Lawrence just finished his first year. He can’t leave for two more. He’s screwing up all of our posting plans.

You mean if we somehow managed to suck next season we'd have to settle for Tua or Fromm? I could live with that

Sure, but it would kind of suck with Lawrence only one year away. At any rate, none of this matters because Tom isn’t going anywhere and if he were, Bill would make the necessary moves to keep a competitive team.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

The title is misleading. Should say "WHEN Brady wins 6th will he retire?"

 

[Patriot Missile]

Even with Hoyer at QB, I doubt they could suck enough to get Lawrence. If they were to swap rosters with the Jets I think their chances would be astronomicaly high.

Oh I agree, I don’t see us trading up either so it looks like a coaching job on a lower prospect.

Brady will play until hes 45, then we can have these discussions. Even after he wins #6 and maybe #7 next year I think he keeps playing to 45, meanwhile cliff kellerman will be predicting he'll fall off the cliff every year until then.

 

[Angelpats]

Most likely scenario is garrapolo gets released when Brady plans to retire and we resign him.

Or Brady retires when Nick Mullens becomes a free agent. 49ers stick with JG, see his contract, Pats sign Mullens.

Next year JG suffers career ending injury and Pats win SB with Mullens.

I am more interested in whether Belichick will also ride off into the sunset.....

On one hand, both guys are tied together. OTOH, BB might see it as a challenge to build another team around another QB. BB would be bored sitting at home rewatching, "My Cousin Vinny"....

 

[DaBronxPats14]

He's not retiring now. I believe when he says he wants to play until he's 45 or longer if he possibly can until he himself said he Sux then he will go out on his terms. J.Mac is here for duration as well.

 

[mosslost]

You know better than to start a weak thread like this.

Sit back and watch it roll

 

[mosslost]

You know me hard for me to see us winning without TB but tell me if we could get Foles or even just trade for a highly rated back up like Jimmy was and let's see how BB can coach them up. Or just take someone in the draft now rather than waiting a year.
I get the fear of being 10-6/9-7 and missing playoffs or playing in WC round but cant waste any if the last few years of BB coaching tanking.

Brady was a 6th round pick. Montana was third round. Brady is GOAT and my favorite all time athlete but anyone who thinks Belichick and the early strength of the Pars roster during Brady’s early yeRs were not yuge in Bradys growth is nuts.

Parcels won with Simms. Super Bowls are win year in and year out with other QBs. TEAM is what is needed and that is Belichick. Brlichick can win with the next QB as long as he is coached up and they build a strong team.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Hes not going anywhere. He just had another vintage/legacy game and all that the usual suspects who should be eating crow right now and sucking his **** are saying is how lucky he got with the offsides and roughing the passer. If he wins next week expect more of the same. These idiots are gonna keep him hungry for years, im actually starting to believe he will play till 45.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Lets win the game first, then we can talk about retirement. Better to leave on top than the alternate.

It's impossible to know what either would have done without each other. If you took the best previous dynasty as a measuring stick you'd probably say it was the 49ers which was pre salary cap, with two different QBs, two different HC's and resulted in 5 trips to the Super Bowl. The Patriots are going to their 9th under BB and TB. That's insane. How many would it have been without one or the other is impossible to decipher.

They have to come up with something better than luck to explain 9 trips to the big dance.

All I am saying is you don’t need a first round QB. Great NFL TEAMS win the Super Bowl.

 

[Joey007]

Uhoh here we go again I couldn't disagree with this strategy more.

BB is too good a coach to tank. Give him Cassell and he could be 11-5. Hopefully we could find someone better than Cassell right away and have a shot at a Superbowl.

Hey maybe Bill retires too.

I’m sure McDaniels isn’t too good to tank.
