On the good side-----Boston sports fans are getting sick of hearing all this BULL****
including the media......On the other side WE Boston fans haven't heard all
the REAL FACTS about the whole affair......Lest we forget-----Boston MEDIA hates Belichick and slant all stories to make him look bad and Tom look like an angel.......NOT SO...... Belichick's job is to build (rebuild) a championship team......Bill runs (and builds) his team(s) with the Auerbach philosophy-----YOU CAN"T HAVE A WINNING TEAM UNLESS YOU FIRST BUILD A TEAM.....That means an ENTIRE team all pulling together for the common cause of TEAM VICTORY......Remember......Their is no "I" in team???
Brady was no longer buying into THAT proposition which became evident to Belichick when Brady started complaining about the play selection and having yelling bouts with Josh McDaniel in plain site on the sidelines of the games......Brady claimed it was nothing but a family squabble but Bill knew better......As more proof to Bill was Brady's insisting on having more input in the game plan......(He was unhappy with all the running plays which took away his favorite target, Gronkowski, who was making those running plays work with his great blocking.....Gronk was unhappy as well), BUT, you can only have ONE COACH and BELICHICK was him.....Belichick has THE blueprint for WINNING which cannot be denied.....SIX super bowl titles, remember, not to mention all the trips TO the super bowl......AND, he has the courage of HIS convictions.....(thank God).......He could have gave in to make Brady happy but he didn't.....
Getting back to Brady who could have let his fans know he was planning on moving to "another challenge" long before the day he signed with Tampa........turned out his teammates all knew.....Witness their half hearted playing in the end of the season that barely got them into the playoffs only to be knocked off in the first game.....
AND the tell tale sign that he sold both his houses a year before leaving.....Which was almost never pointed out by the media.......There's a few other signs that the Boston media doesn't dig into......like Gronk coming out of "retirement." .That might even have been part of the plan.....who knows???
I just wish Brady would have been more open with us.....I'm one who believes that the fans make the legend of Brady and should have been treated better.....
As for Brady's replacement???.....I've always felt Brady was a figment of Belichick's imagination.....Almost immediately he installed several MIS-direction plays that helped take some of the heat off from rushing defensive linemen......and running backs who could catch (and run with) the ball.....taking more heat off of Brady.....I'm betting he can do the same with Stidman or several other QB's out there......I've always felt that the QB didn't win games by himself.......It's the coach's system that wins......if the quarterback can work with it properly......Bill finds the QB's best talents then designs the system.....not vice versa......Wait until Tampa realizes Brady can't throw a long pass very well......\
MY BET.....Pat's get into the playoffs.......Maybe even the "BOWL." Stay tuned.....
