Josh Gordon is going to get a sick weed script from Brady's fake doctor and I'm jealous.

quote:

Brady started worrying for his job almost immediately after Belichick cited his age and contract status -- and the coach's own desire to be "early rather than late at that position" -- when the Patriots drafted Garoppolo in 2014. One New England assistant said the general feeling among staff members around that time wasn't that Belichick's system could make Super Bowl quarterbacks out of all 32 NFL starters. "But if you gave us any of the top 15, we could do it," the assistant said. "I don't think the coaches view Tom as special as everyone else in football does. Mr. Kraft thinks Tom is the greatest gift ever, but the coaches don't."

quote:

"If you're married 18 years to a grouchy person who gets under your skin and never compliments you, after a while you want to divorce him," a source with knowledge of the Brady-Belichick relationship told ESPN's Ian O'Connor, author of "Belichick: The Making of the Greatest Football Coach of All Time," after the 2017 season.

"Tom knows Bill is the best coach in the league, but he's had enough of him. If Tom could, I think he would divorce him."

quote:

In the early days of the case, Belichick was among the Patriots officials who had "serious doubts" about Brady's claim he had no involvement in the potential deflation of footballs used in the January 2015 AFC Championship Game victory over the Colts.

I hope the way this went down is, Gordon showed up acting high as poo poo, because he wanted out of that drat organization and knew they'd cut him if he was using.

New England coaches think Brady is a system quarterback. No wonder they all fail when they go out on their own.

Also, Robert Kraft still smart.

Belichick is a huge egotist, obviously, but this is just a Belichick *assistant* claiming that *other Belichick assistants* think Brady is a system QB.

So basically:

Brady is fungible. All the qbs that played in NE under Bill in recent years have won games (while still in NE). Jimmy and Cassel both did work. Its only when the qbs leave NE and Bill that they suck.

Touchdown Tom owes everything to Bill

For we'll fight with a vim
that is dead sure to win.

It’s almost as if Belichick assistants, having experienced the success associated with his regime, attempt to reproduce that success via cargo cult rather than substance and then fail spectacularly. If you look at Brady and don’t think the exact same thing would happen to him if he left New England, you’re delusional.

Belichick seems to have a Joe Gibbs kind of program but in the salary cap era. It'd be super interesting to see what he'd do if he kept coaching after Brady retires.

I hate to agree with The Monster Who Is Bill Belichick but he won 11 games with Matt Cassel and I doubt Brady has wiped his rear end without Bill's permission since I was in the 3rd grade.

Eh, he won 11 games against the easiest schedule they ever had in the Belichick era on completely loaded team that went 16-0 previously.

Yeah, this is why the "System QB" argument is A+ trolling but super dumb if actually taken seriously. Tons of QBs have fluked into 1 good season under ideal conditions and then proven to be bums. One season is too small a sample to take seriously, and all the other Brady backups barely played at all.
