This could be the Patriots last run, would you go after Belichick?

So a story is about to drop by ESPN about a major riff between Brady, Belichick, and Kraft. Details have already begun to leak.  Basically it came down to Belichick wanted to start Jimmy Garoppolo over Brady this season, so Brady went to Kraft, and Kraft traded him. So Belichick is telling all of his assistants to take other jobs elsewhere.

Interesting story to follow for sure. We could (potentially) see these guys in their last game ever together.

And an even crazier thing to ponder...if Belichick were to be without a job, but wanted to coach again, would Carolina (and it’s new ownership) potentially go after a guy like that?

I mean...this is all based on the premise that Belichick actually wanted to start Garoppolo over Brady this year? Can you imagine Brady riding the bench right after a Super Bowl victory when he staged the greatest SB comeback of all time? And still playing at the top of his game? That would be ridiculous.

Yeah, this smacks of a minor tiff that someone is blowing up into epic proportions in the media. I do think Belicheck would probably rather have Jimmy G. around next season.

3 years ago the Chiefs blew out the Pats on Monday football by 30+ pts and the Huddle was filled with joy as Brady was officially washed up and the Patriots run was over.  They won the SB that year. 

I'll believe it when I see it. 

SB 52: Panthers 28 vs Pats 21

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
