What brilliant thing has belichick done since Brady walked out?

Was it replacing offensive coaches with defensive coaches?

Someone show me how me how he's currently smarter than everyone else.

Me old mate Bill was ordinary before Brady and after he left. He’s sacked this off-season or retires before it happens

So we could have grabbed DJ Johnson with our original 3rd without doing another trade, or taken Byron Young, who was still available. Draft masterclass

I’ve been soured on Fitterer from the moment he took Jaycee Horn over Fields, Parsons, Slater, or even Patrick Surtain II. He is always on the losing end of his draft day trades.

Eh, think that's a little bit revisionist history and a little bit misguided.

Nobody could have predicted Horn's injury issues and I still think he can be alive if he can stay healthy, so still not upset about taking him instead of Surtain, but that's really the only one of those players I'd have been okay with there.

I'm still convinced Fields will end up as a bust, he can't throw the ball and at some point he won't be able to run it every play (even when he did, they ended up with the worst record in the league).

Parsons wasn't what he is now coming out, he was a MLB, which we weren't taking at 8.  In a re-draft right now, he goes #2 behind Lawrence and if everyone knew he'd end up the pass rusher he is, he probably ends up going 3 after Lawrence and Wilson at the time anyways.

And Slater would have been a reach there are the time, I'd have been okay trading back a bit to get him, but not at 8 then.

I'm happy for Corral.  He has a little talent and I would have preferred him be the back up rather than Andy Dalton.   Dalton gives us no chance at developing an asset behind Bryce.  If Bryce gets hurt I would much rather have Corral being developed so maybe we could get something in return for him down the road.

We drafted Corral knowing that he wasn't running a pro style offense in Ole Miss.  We knew that he was going to take time to develop and transition to an NFL offense.  It's the same thing we did with Will Grier.  I think, just like Grier, we have another player that we pulled the plug on their development too early, and he will end up being a good backup.  

When you draft qbs out of spread offenses in college, it take abouts 3 seasons for them to fully adapt to the pro game. If we weren't willing to accept this then we should have never drafted him to begin with, but that's a Fitterer mistake.  

When it comes to GM's, their track records shouldn't be judged on 1st round picks, those are easy, but rather the later rounds.  Fitterer has an absolute dogshit track record when it comes to mid to late round picks.  He has also traded assets to move up for these picks that haven't worked out.

Some of the picks like Grier, may have worked out, but Fitt was too impatient to allow the development to happen.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
