To be fair, how much credit does he get in scouting players from 1993-1995 before Bob gave him power in 1996? That 1996 draft was insane.I agree.
In case it wasn’t clear, Bobby Grier is one of many examples of how easy it isn’t to get an exceptional drafter.
The team was falling apart under Poodle Pete. the offense was tanking. He needed to go.I wanted to keep Carrol,
My attitude was meh, what he did with the browns wasn't that impressive. I certainly never imagined he would turn the pats into a dynasty. Well he and brady.I didn't think it would be all that great. A defensive coach replacing Carroll. Also, a
defensive coach. Didn't hate it. Was just surprised we went with someone who
didn't kill it in Cleveland. I know there were extenuating circumstances.
The Brady6 documentary indicated it was Grier who reached out to Lloyd Carr about 12To be fair, how much credit does he get in scouting players from 1993-1995 before Bob gave him power in 1996? That 1996 draft was insane.
He apparently was scouting Tom Brady so he may have persuaded Bill in addition to **** Rhebin to draft him.
He could end up with almost the same record with his first and last season hereGetting Bill was very exciting. I was also pumped and jacked. Even in the 5-11 season, they played competitively.
Thank god you didn’t get your way.Ha ha!
I wanted Terry Donahue/Dom Capers over giving up a first round pick for Belichick! Julian Peterson was taken with pick #16 that year....and Shaun Alexander a few picks later!
my sentiments exactly!I was just glad to get rid of Carroll.
The thing I liked about the 2000 season was it seemed that instead of the Carroll years when there really wasn’t an identity, or a commitment to what the team wanted to become, in 2000 we did the things a championship team needs to do, and found out what we had. Rather than taking a chance letting Bledsoe try to be Dan Marino, we played the style that wins championships, stuck to it and learned where the upgrades were needed.Getting Bill was very exciting.

Then, as now" Trust the ownership that saved the franchise.I didn't think it would be all that great. A defensive coach replacing Carroll. Also, a

I remember telling people that the 2000 Patriots were the GREATEST 0-5 team evah!Getting Bill was very exciting. I was also pumped and jacked. Even in the 5-11 season, they played competitively.
