Brady didn't want a multi year deal. Hmmmm.
Is it possible that he's just sick of Belichick's coaching style? Sick of not having a say? Would outside influences affect Brady? I look at his comment of "I am just the QB. I just work here" as him being ticked that he didn't have any input on who he threw the ball to. The other thing I look at is Gronk's comparison of
Belichick to the Grinch. Clearly, Bill's style grated on Gronk. Does Gronk have enough influence on Brady to affect Brady's attitude regarding Bill? The old cliche "misery loves company". We've all seen coworkers get in a coffee clutch and complain about bosses. Would Brady be susceptible to this? A couple of text messages after a scathing coaching critque?
I can get Johnny Foxboro to make that throw.
I can see the text:
God he sux. doesn't he know you're the GOAT? I can't believe he talks to you like that. He's nothing without you.
Does Brady just get to the point that he's had enough? That's why he's so sour after wins? That's why he looked relieved after the Tennessee loss?
There. I'm free of him and all his negativity.
I think it's certainly possible.
