It will be interesting if Bill retires when Brady hangs it up. Chronicle his career without Tom Terrific, and it looks pretty ordinary.
Half the players on the elite teams couldnt play for KF because they dont have the work ethic or humility it takes.
bingo. you put KF at OSU or FSU or bama and they would cease getting the rosters full of 4 and 5 star players... because KF wouldn't recruit most of them. he learned his lesson with city boyz, inc.
It would also have been interesting to see what Ferentz could have done had we had a Brad Banks throughout his entire career too. A leader and talent like that can be a steadying force for the whole team.
If those teams quit recruiting that level of talent they would also no longer compete at a top flight level.
Just like Saban couldn't handle the NFL. LOL
I'm not ignoring anything. I said, without Brady. In the NFL the QB makes that much difference, if he's one of the four or five elite guys. Go back and look at the Colts record before, during, and after P Manning. From a 3 or 4 win team to winning at least 10 games, (averaged 12 wins), for a dozen years in a row. Never been done by any team in history. The year he was out injured they won FOUR games, with basically the same team. If they had ever put a really good team around him, especially on defense, they probably win 5 or 6 SB's in his time there. The one year they had a pretty good defense,(thank you Bob Sanders), they won the SB. I don't know, (nor does anyone), what the Pats would have been without Brady, but I'm pretty certain it wouldn't look anything like the record you described.
Well thats a lot to look at, so thanks for all of your research. Of course, I never said that Belichick didn't deserve SOME of the credit. Frankly, its hard to tell who benefited more from their union, Brady or Beli, as they are so intertwined, kind of the chicken or the egg. Who knows what would have happened had Bledsoe not gotten hurt and Brady languished on the bench for four or five years. Would he have had a hall of fame career? Would the Pats have embarked on the dynasty they've become? There's no way to know. What if Brady had gone elsewhere, would he have become Tom Terrific? Just like, how would the balance of the league been different, if the Colts had picked Ryan Leaf, (as they were close to doing), and Manning had gone somewhere like Minnesota, or the Texans or somewhere where they played some defense? The only thing we do know is that what happened in NE, is now history, and the coach and QB sit today as the GOATS, as you said, in their respective positions.
..........
Right... The only four time BIG coach of the year and he'd go 3-9 at OSU with their talent, because he's some kind of idiot, correct? Some of you guys need to get a new gig. You make a piss poor troll.......
I think of it more in the lines of how many other people did the or is doing the same thing(s) and don't or didn't get caught. The deflategate thing was completely over blown- taping of practice thing, OK yeah that probably is crossing the line. However, many people have said that doing that was more of the norm around the league as opposed to the exception.
Obviously a little unique before the super bowl yes. I am a bears fan so really don't care, however; what I do know is that before NE got caught taping it was going on every single week around the league, in college and even in HS. NE was just really good so obviously got the spotlight put on them. All I know is Bill will go down as the greatest NFL coach of all time and Brady will go down as the great QB of all time. Not saying cheating is not bad, but if you are going to cheat at least be good at it- obvious NE is better than other teams at whatever they do year in and year out.
I get exactly what your saying as far as those schools being inherently more appealing to the 4 and 5 stars of the world. i'm saying that KF may not be interested in those players because they aren't his type of players. KF offers 4 and 5 star kids that fit into his player criteria. of course its all conjecture, but I 'think' he would not go after a lot of the kids that those schools get on a year to year basis. jmo.
Tom Brady wasn't always tom Brady. He was a 6th round draft pick w a work hard, accountable, dependable personality & knows what it takes to get better. Bills kind of guy.
