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.

He cheats better--spy cams and deflate gate.  Cutting edge

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.

Dalton being the backup is to best develop our most important asset - Bryce.

Really not any different from the Hurney years but still people hype him up. After all the "Finesserer" circle jerks it turns out we're the ones getting finessed more often than not.

Apparently Corral was not released. He went AWOL after a practice and the patriots couldn’t locate him for 2 days. Terrible.

Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reported Corral left the team late in the week without notice. Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal then added more context to an increasingly bizarre situation.

“The Patriots could not put him on that list unless he literally left the team,” Bedard wrote. “From what I’ve been told from a league source: Corral disappeared after Thursday’s practice and no one could find him for two days … that would seem to indicate that they found him. They have not released him.”

Bedard added: “Corral went AWOL.”

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
