Patriots Still Hamstrung By Tom Brady Even After Departure
Bob George
Brady left the Patriots at the end of the 2019 season, and now those three Super Bowls and four appearances seem more like a bad thing and not a good thing.

"Now those three Super Bowls and four appearances seem more like a bad thing and not a good thing. "

Might be one of the most bizarre things I've ever read.

Tom is gone, the sooner we get over it the sooner we can focus on winning a game.

"The score was 13-3 and the Rams offense wasn’t going to have any say in the final outcome. That was a game that didn’t require Brady like the other Super Bowl wins did"

The score was 3-3 when Tom led them downfield with a spectacular Gronk catch to set up the Michel TD midway through the 4th Q. That changed the game. The Gilmore INT and the drive making 13-3 pretty much sealed it.

"Not that you would want to give back those three Vinces, but moving forward, was holding on to Brady the best thing for the Patriots?"

Patriots only won one ring after trading Jimmy G to the 49ers. And yes, keeping Brady during that time was the right call as I'd put my money on the GOAT any day over a guy who's only played 1.5 games.

So basically this guy would be ok with only having 5 banners? Jimmy wouldn’t have beaten the Chiefs in 2018, period.

I know. I read that and had to read it again but that's a stunning dumb statement. This guy would trade three Super Bowl titles for Jimmy G?

Other franchises would kill to have just one Super Bowl title let alone three...and there was a 10 year drought between their third title and their fourth.

I just don't get where you can say that three Super Bowl titles out of 4 trips is a bad thing. There's no way to square that circle.

I don’t really know what to say.

WHY are Bob George "columns" still allowed on this website? His writing is poor, his lack of knowledge is embarrassing and his perspectives are without exception negative/anti-Patriots.

Brady played two great playoff games in even getting to that Super Bowl.

The Chargers game was vintage Brady. He was lights out.

Thanks but I’ll take the SB win two years ago, thank you very much.

I really only have one hobby; commenting on Bob George's writing skills.
The man loves to start sentences with pronouns....ie.....this is, there is, it is, etc.
My 2nd grade writing teacher Miss Plunck would make a student sit in a corner and beg for forgiveness if he/she ever started a sentence with a pronoun.
My 3rd grade writing teacher Ms. Mumuska would humiliate students if they ever started a sentence with "and" or "but".....Bob's go-to sentence starters when his quota of "this, there, and it" have been all used up.
At least Bob managed to use verbs in this think-piece so........baby steps.

Great article.

I was going to post something along those lines.

BB botched the QB position and its partly his fault and partly Bradys fault. BB was ready for Brady to fall off the cliff when he drafted Jimmy. But Jimmy had the opposite effect on Brady. Instead of Brady handing over the reigns to Jimmy in a peaceful transfer of power, Jimmys presence motivated Brady to play longer, work harder and cheat father time.

Kraft gets a lot of blame too in letting Bill decide Brady's fate...ultimately, I think Bill was trying to push Brady out, maybe because Brady was becoming too big for the organization and wanted more power over personnel and other things...

How is this Brady's fault?

How is this Brady's fault?

Because Brady is rumored to have gone to Kraft and have Jimmy shipped out of town. Brady was threatened by Jimmy.

I completely disagree. We had the BEST and he was thrown out like garbage. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. It wasn't right.
And the team is paying the price and will be paying the price for the foreseeable future. This Garropolo love fest in here, makes me sick. Can't stand him. So Brady was supposed to just give up his job to this kid to make all of you happy. So disrespectful. What has happened to this team is not Brady's fault. Coach B made up his mind and did what he felt was best. We have to live with it.

But by all means blame Brady for everything. You can blame him if the team doesn't make the playoffs too.

But I dont like Jimmy and while I believe that he is better than Cam, Hoyer and Stidham, Im still not sold on him.

He played great yesterday but he is inconsistent.

Brady would struggle to win with these NE WRs and TEs. They are not good.
