Are we desperate "Dumb" enough.... Bill Belicheck

Recommended Posts

The coast is clear and we now are in prime postion for our 4th coach in the Tepper era. Even though the core problems still remain.

  • David Tepper 
  • Scott Fitterer 
  • Bryce Young (jury still out, but barely) 

The question everyone is asking themselses what circus move will we make next? Nick Saban, Jim Harbaugh, and the biggest one Bill Belicheck. I can see it now in Febuarary, Tepper backs in the brinx trunk in MA to Bill to be the sole GM/Coach. Highest paid with unlimited control. What could go wrong? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10098390-peter-king-on-bill-belichick-cowboys-chargers-panthers-are-possible-landing-spots

  • Brady as QB
  • .666% winning percentage 
  • 6 SB Seasons 
  • 30-12 in the playoffs. 

Sounds great! until you dive in deeper. Life without Brady:

  • Overwhelmed QB issues since Brady
  • Alabama QB.... that looks lost at times, we can relate.
  • 82-98 record (.456%) 

Below is a look at each of the non-Brady quarterbacks that have started under Belichick and the records they have posted for him as of Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season.

Quarterback Team Record
Mac Jones Patriots 18-23
Vinnie Testaverde Browns 17-16
Bernie Kosar Browns 11-18
Matt Cassel Patriots 10-5
Cam Newton Patriots 7-8
Drew Bledsoe Patriots 5-13
Mike Tomczak Browns 4-4
Jimmy Garoppolo Patriots 2-0
Bailey Zappe Patriots 2-0
Mark Rypien Browns 2-1
Todd Philcox Browns 2-3
Jacoby Brissett Patriots 1-1
Eric Zeier Browns 1-3
Brian Hoyer Patriots 0-2

 

I hope it's a hard pass, but I feel we will go for the big name coach. Johnson OC for the lions is the only option moving forward.

Ben Johnson is not coming here. Why go to a team that has no roster, no first round pick, a meddling owner who forces you to take his draft picks, and a QB whose looked shaken at best when you can go to the team that has those picks, a war chest, or another team that’s already ready to compete in the playoffs? Johnson will be highly sought after and will have his choice of teams to go to. Panthers will be dead last of places he'll want to go to.

The egos of Tepper and Belichick colliding would probably be a fun poo show.

I can't see Belichick being interested. He basically made the Bryce mistake with Mac Jones thinking a great college QB could overcome his obvious physical limitations with mental brilliance. I can't see him having any interest in coaching Bryce Young.

That'd be another wildly entertaining collision of massive egos.

It'd be entertaining as hell.

Would it be a winning combination?  Not so sure about that.

Also feel pretty certain that neither Harbaugh nor Belichick would be okay having weekly meetings with Tepper.

I wonder how Tepper would have taken it if his hedge fund clients wanted to have weekly meetings to critique his every portfolio move and have him defend it?

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
