Ealy says the Patriots are different

That's one I thought of too. There isn't this huge line of players who became greats to warrant the reaction every time the Pats acquire a guy. If anything they at least used to have a rep for takung in aging greats and giving them a few more years on a great team.

belichick is very very good at identifying traits in players and putting them into a position to succeed. That is his strength as a coach. 

Yeah it helps when you have the best QB in the game, but he and Brady together have developed like three completely distinct offense that have dominated the league at various times in their career and at this point it's safe to say they're the best duo ever.

This line about "turning players great" is ludicrous as this wes welker discussion shows, because someone with an axe to grind will just claim that the player was already great and belichick just got lucky again.

Belichick has coached for a long time, and his ratio of busts to successes is probably slightly above average, which in the nfl is pretty fuging great. He has a ton of bad blindspots; he has weird theories about DBs, he can't really draft RBs or WR with any frequency.

But time and time again he's proven he can see something in a player other teams don't and can capitalize on it. That's why they've been so successful.

I think he's clearly the best coach and it's not close. They still grab a lot of players that don't work out. Too many to jump to the watch player x become an (All Pro/ pro bowler/hall of famer) typical reaction. I'm not suggesting you do that...but it always gets said

Ealy may do fine under Belichick. Our locker room seems to thrive with self motivating players. That's more conducive to a "players coach" like Rivera. Belichick is probably better at getting more out of guys that need structure and discipline. There were questions about Ealy's attitude and work ethic early on. Maybe Bill's approach can get more out of a guy like that than Rivera can.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
