Belichick out at NE


Recommended Posts

Lotta people saying Atlanta for Belichick.  Commanders or Chargers--he wants a QB (Washington has the #2 pick, I believe) and LAC has Herbert and they are under performing.  If I were him, I would go to the Chargers--I just don't know how much he'd like LA.

I see two desirable situations for Bill. It depends on what Bill wants to do.

  • Dallas: It's a TV Dinner. 3-consecutive 12-win seasons. Roster made to win now. He can pop that team in the microwave, nuke it, win a Super Bowl and retire being hailed once again as a coaching genius.
  • Carolina: Low Effort. He can step in, earn an ungodly paycheck for another few years, and retire without actually accomplishing anything. It doesn't tarnish his legacy because we're a terrible team, a worse franchise, and he has the built-in excuse of a pain-in-the-ass owner.

I don't see him going to an Atlanta or an L.A. where they have some pieces in place, but he'd have to actually build the program to take it to the next level. Because if he doesn't succeed in those situations, all it does is feed into the rhetoric that he couldn't win without Tom Brady. God forbid those teams actually have a worse record after he takes over? How would that make him look?

The Panthers, quite literally can't do much worse after he takes over, and that, funnily enough, I think should be an attractive prospect for him.

So does he want to cement his legacy with one more ring? Or get a massive golden parachute to end his career?

Should’ve called it a career the moment Brady bolted to Tampa. A losing record the past four years and that's with him bungling the six billion draft picks the Patriots always seem to get every year. The Patriots were so bad this year that we could've won an ugly low scoring game with them. The vaulted Patriot Way was a dead end just about everywhere else it was emulated by his former staff that became head coaches. Won't deny his intimate football knowledge except the translation to actual results on the field seems lacking. His decisions on QB are whimsical as though a fan is making them instead of a coach. 

Bringing him here would be a colossal waste of money and time but on the other hand, it would make Tepper look even more of a fool while putting a massive stain on Belichick's career. I shouldn’t be that petty but the thought is crossing my mind.

So .... George Seifert.

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
