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 

[Shocker]

Within 2 months…he will be released

Not going to lose any sleep over this. I will wonder if Bill did this purely out of spite.

Wouldn't surprise me. Just his lame ass attempt at irony.

He's always been a punk ass troll.

Watch he fails his physical

Matt Corral this seasons SB MVP.

Completing a game against the bucs. Domination.

Gotta give the front office credit.  They are playing no favorites,  when assembling their 53.  They are keeping whom they feel are the best 53, how they got here doesn't matter.

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.

It’s gonna be hard for Corral to pick a new offense this late but he has the talent to succeed 

[pantherclaw]

Just blanked the Eagles. 3 INTS, 2 to the house. The first INT made by Huddleston favorite,  HENDERSON.  

Domination. 

Would be nice for out defense to exceed expectations this year.

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.

Eeehhh, I'm not so sure about that.

As things stand right now, we essentially gave them two picks to let them have Matt Corral.

Sometimes I think Belichick does it just to be an a--hole

By my count, that would be three quarterbacks on the Patriots practice squad counting Bailey Zappe, Malik Cunningham and Corral

Which tells us that Mac Jones "AINT him".
