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

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
