Report: Brady bullied Josh McDaniels in NE

[SHOWTIME15]

Tom Brady would ‘bully’ ex-Patriots coordinator Josh McDaniels: David Carr

New England was Tom Brady’s world and Josh McDaniels and Jimmy Garoppolo were simply existing in it — according to former NFL QB David Carr, that is.

nypost.com

It would appear McDaniels felt he was bullied by Brady and told Derek Carr (who then told his brother David) as such...

“I would say, what happened is in New England, Tom Brady ran the show, so he was able to bully Josh and he would just say, ‘This is what we’re going to do,'” Carr said. “And if Josh said no, [Brady] would go to Bill [Belichick]’s office, and if Bill said no, he would go to [team owner] Robert Kraft.

“‘Trade Jimmy Garoppolo, I don’t need him in here causing a problem.’ Jimmy Garoppolo gets traded, right?”

This is the kind of reporting I would expect from the NY Post. Conjecture from someone who wasn't there and then relayed through the telephone game to a tabloid that will run anything that will get eyeballs.

And originating from a guy (Derek Carr) who might have an emotional interest in making Josh McDaniels look like a weaker man.

I mean if this report is true, doesn't it shed light on the reports of Brady complaining about not having a say in the offensive game planning?

How does this report affect the Chiefs?

There's only one guy looking really bad in all this and it ain't Tom or Bill or Josh. Obvious verbal sewer spillage from a guy who's mad at how his little bro got his feelings hurt.

Dude, don't shoot the messenger. I just saw this report on NY Post and thought it was interesting. I never envisioned Brady as the type to go around the coaching staff all the way up to Kraft.

The report is based on a butthurt brother

Any reports of playful towel slapping, wet willys, or wedgies? Asking for my wife.

Even if it's true, who cares? The record reflects it, McDaniels is a big nothing without Brady. And when they worked together (or Brady was calling all of the shots) in New England, they were enormously successful. So from an offensive production standpoint, whatever the dynamic was between the two of them, it worked.

And Josh McDaniels is going to unemployed by January. Who's his QB for next season? No one and there aren't many good options. It's looking pretty bleak for Josh.

How would this be a surprise to anyone? Tom was a 3 time Super Bowl champion when Skippy became the OC. Imagine him learning on the job, but telling Tom how it's going to be? Then you have Bill O'Brien benefitting greatly from the camera man catching him on the exact moment he and Tom were yelling at each other in 2011 over a WR who let a DB undercut him. That was Bill's claim to fame. Tom made skippy and Bill look better than they really are. Just like Peyton Manning made Mike McCoy and Adam Gase household names.

It would explain a lot about Bill and Tom's deteriorating relationship...I don't think Bill is the kind of guy to tolerate dissent from anyone, superstar or not

The abuse is why Josh turned down the Colts to return to the Pats in 2018. He just couldn’t get enough.
