Yeah, but I don’t think Kraft would fire him. I think Bill would be more likely to retire. But I don’t see him failing. Not with the golden opportunity he has in front of him.
Yeah I don’t think they’ll fire him necessarily but I can see him ending things like Coughlin did with another position in the org.
I agree with most of your post with Bill's treatment of Brady. But one thing is missing from your narrative: if Brady gets signed for more cash -- i.e. what he's worth -- then the team's talent struggles only get worse.
Curran: Brady's win a loss of Ruthian proportions for Pats
Many Pats fans started their Sunday thinking about how to get Matthew Stafford. They also likely spent their afternoon watching Tom Brady head to a 10th Super Bowl. As Tom. E Curran writes, Brady’s latest triumph is a rough look in Foxboro.www.nbcsports.com
And that was the guy who actually wanted to be with the Patriots. Could be still. Should be still. The one that did everything but wear a sandwich board asking the team to sign him through the end of his career. The guy who banged his head against the wall and worried himself sick about what he’d do if he couldn’t play here.
That’s the guy Bill Belichick didn’t want to go all-in with contractually and pay him near the going rate for a good quarterback. While we all looked at Brady for the last half-decade and said, “More, please?” Belichick was looking at him and saying, “Enough already.”
And where’d that get him and his team? After jerking Brady around in the summers of 2018 and 2019, Brady finally picked St. Patrick’s Day to tell the Patriots he was done here. Which was fine with Belichick. Enough “selling out” and getting in cap hell.
Bring on Jarrett Stidham, Cam Newton and the worst quarterback play in the league.
Bring on a scenario in which you may have to give up a pick and a player to get Matthew Stafford for just about the same money you would have been paying Tom Brady. If you’re lucky. If Matthew Stafford thinks New England’s the right place for him and the Patriots can sweeten the pot for Detroit enough.
And we all know that, when Tom Brady is 45 he’ll still be better than Matt Stafford, Glass Jimmy, Newton, Stidham and every single guy that gets drafted this year except maybe Trevor Lawrence.
When you think about it, the Patriots really had to work to get this far on the wrong side of history.
They had to misjudge the arc of Brady’s career even though he was standing right in front of them for two decades. They had to live in a world where any more than $22M against the cap for Brady was a non-starter, even though they spent half of 2017 noodling ways to lasso Garoppolo on the team while Brady was still here. They had to decide that any indications of Brady developing self-awareness were threats to the team that needed to be nipped in the bud or demonized. They had to marginalize his contributions, make him out to be a prima donna and rebuff his requests for input.
All so they could get him gone and start the reboot.
I'm getting tired of this nonsense. Brady didn't want money he wanted years and he didn't join an all star team either.
You want to play man against Hill? I do believe they can win but we shall see.
Yep. Bill bungled the end of the Brady era in New England and no matter what Bill’s lawyers on here say I’ll never forgive him for killing the dynasty before it had to die.Curran: Brady's win a loss of Ruthian proportions for Pats

Vea didnt play last game vs kc either. Today in the limited snaps he had, he freed up the lanes for JPP and Barrett
If you play right on him he'll beat you everytime. It was very painful watching them play 10 yards off though because there's 0 for Mahomes to think about. It also seems like KC runs some very specific plays over and over and over again. What Kelce did underneath was criminal. BB probably screaming at the TV watching how people play them. We had the secondary to beat that team for **** sakes!! Had to let Brady walk. Couldn't rebuild the offense and give him a few years!!!!!!!! Anyways.
