LOL. ALL the evidence since Brady departed NE points to Brady being the more important piece by a huge margin.The winner between Brady and Bellichik is a draw.
Brady has said multiple times that Bill made him the player he was and Bill has said multiple times that Brady made him a better coach. It was the perfect match for both of them and all of us. Not sure why it’s so difficult for some fans to understand.
I agree that the pendulum has swung in Brady’s favor, however I will take Tom’s and Bills word over everyone who is looking for someone to blame. Also I think players like Bruschi, McGinest, Gronk, Edelman etc… had something to do with the two dynasties.LOL. ALL the evidence since Brady departed NE points to Brady being the more important piece by a huge margin.
You could’ve chosen not to follow the the conversation down the road and it probably would’ve sputtered out.Brady shouldn't have had Arians fired... that's what happened.
They went 8-9 and made the playoffs because as bad as the team was, if the division they're in is worse, they make the playoffs by default. They had more losses than wins, give me a break.
I didn't drive this conversation down the "look what the Buc's did after Brady" road, I simply followed it. I didn't force the comparison, scroll up.
Comparing the Patriots in 2020 coming off 4 Super Bowls and 3 Rings, to the one Ring in 3 years Buc's is silly.
Again... apples/oranges.
It's just more important for some smooth brains to find new and inventive ways to say "Belichick sucks."
Doing things the right way never goes out of style.There are different styles of management. What you seem to be missing is that you can have accountability w/o having to be a **** about it.
Chuds.
Mayo spoke about holding people accountable but more important he said players need to hold themselves accountable.
Yes, after 20 yrs, even Tom got tired of the same old same old. That says it all right there.
Brady left as a free agent, that was his choice, it was nobody's mistake.Using the salary cap as an excuse for B&B's mistake is lame. We're talking about the greatest QB to ever play the game and he wanted to stay here. And he's gone because Bill's ego got in the way and Bob backed Bill instead of Tom. According to what I heard recently, Bob apologized to Tom Sr for his mistake when Brady was honored here this year. If he knew it was a mistake and is willing to admit that then so should Pats fans.
I had a boss, actually my mentor, who would throw chairs across a room during a staff meeting, or pound his fist on a table when meeting with County officials before abruptly walking out. He was a very talented, crazy Cubano that got **** done. That was a long time ago.Doing things the right way never goes out of style.
You ever stayed at the same job for 20 years or longer... this isn't unique.
BB wasn’t Harvey Weinstein, he was far from Bobby Knight. Assuming Mayo will automatically translate to success, even with talent on the field is pretty presumptuous.I had a boss, actually my mentor, who would throw chairs across a room during a staff meeting, or pound his fist on a table when meeting with County officials before abruptly walking out.

I took the best of what he taught me and nixed the autocratic, toxic portions of his management style, and I always get **** done.
I suspect that's what Mayo will do. I listened to him carefully and feel confident he can get **** done, successfully. It really just comes down to bringing in talent now. Mayo, of all people, knows that w/o talent, he's doomed to fail. I'm not so worried about the coaching staff. All these dudes worked under good organizations that saw success. They know how the sausage is made. Still need the ingredients.
Ouch.
Brady left because Bill or Bob or both wouldn’t offer him a multi year deal, he was pretty clear he was playing until he was 45. It couldn’t have worked out better for Brady.Brady left as a free agent, that was his choice, it was nobody's mistake.
From what you've heard? Good grief... hearing voices now.
The only people in denial are Brady zealots who can't get over the fact he's retired, they still think he's coming out of retirement to take Purdy's job... they're delusional.
The salary cap is a fact, it exists, and only the slow witted call 4 Super Bowls and 3 Rings to finish the dynasty "a mistake."
The "true fan" tough guys who "only root for current Patriots" seem to not be so supportive of Mayo.
Ouch.
Definitely embarrassing, check in the mirror.Elderly curmudgeon Bill can't even get a job. Brady left and immediately won yet another Super bowl. This is a no holds barred slam dunk win for da GOAT. Are the Bill denialists accepting reality now that Mr. Hubris can't even find employment with all of these crappy NFL bottom dwellers like like ATL, SD and Wash? It's embarassing for Bill. And he desperately needs to take his medicine.
Yes, and, what people should be most embarrassed about is creating and promoting a narrative where people have to be devoted to one side or another of a false argument just to feel like they belong to something.Definitely embarrassing, check in the mirror.
