Watching the Chiefs and their current attempt to sustain the winning ways really tells me how special Brady was as a competitor. The psychological side of sustained excellence in sports can't be understated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady's better than MacCorkle Jones. I can't imagine being so enamored with one individual that I'd actively enjoy the demise of a team I supposedly rooted for, but I guess part of Brady's magic is that he's been able to charm people from Skip Bayless to Antonio Brown to SBF. At least you didn't pay him $55 million to be his friend. Hopefully you stayed away from that and the other snake oil he's so good at pushing.

But I’m a realistic Patriots fan, and I think one of my team’s biggest problems is that we don’t have a reliable QB. Not having a reliable QB is an almost certain road to a bad season. Having the greatest QB in history allowed the Patriots to dominate the NFL for 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, having a coaching system and organization that could win double digit games with Matt Cassel and McCorkle Jones at QB, allowed then to win extremely closely contested Super Bowls with an above average quarterback (and lose three against the likes of Nick Foles and that funny guy that provides comic relief on MNF broadcasts with his brother.)

Bill (and his system) without Brady is 80-91. The Patriots at best will win 3 more games this year with Bill at the helm. Bill the GM would have fired Bill the coach long ago.

If you can win double digit games with McCorkle and Cassell, that's a great coach. If you can get the Commissioner to change the rules multiple times to combat your schemes, that's a great coach. True, some of that success was achieved by bending the rulles, and it's hard to know how much, but he, his system, and the defense he created was a bigger factor than the system QB who ran the offense and benefited from a run of good luck, except maybe against the mediocre QB whose team his offense put up 31 points in two games against. (At first when I saw 80-91 I thought it was Eli's record.) Put Brady on the Dolphin teams of his era and he'd be a footnote in history. Bill is starting to slip a bit, it seems, and nepotism may have led to the very recent decline, but he still comes up with gems like sending a rusher from the sidelines to block a kick to keep the team in the game that show he's still making the best of what he has. You can only juggle the plates for so long in the modern NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) That certainly didn't feel like a win against the Giants. It's kind of a hollow W when you see clear holding on the replay.
