HOUSE Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I don't know what's going on inside there, but somebody made a mistake," Montana told Jarrett Bell of USA TODAY Sports, regarding Brady's free-agent move to Tampa Bay. "I think when you look at the whole situation, you try to figure out how you want to get away from things that are there. I had a different story, where they had made a decision. He, obviously, they never would have gotten rid of. I still don't understand how New England let him get away. I don't understand that" "I don't know exactly what he's looking for, but my understanding was that he's just looking for more control of the offense. But I don't know. I haven't had a long conversation with him; I talked to him a little bit at the Super Bowl, but not enough time to really get in-depth." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001107625/article/montana-patriots-made-a-mistake-with-brady-leaving Edited March 26, 2020 by HOUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 The TB and BB dynasty is over. I don't think that is really settling in with people. Fans worried about NE getting a broken down Cam or Andy Dalton. TB gone will change the whole dynamics of that team. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurpleBull Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Read this earlier in the day and couldn't figure out for the life of me why Montana seemed so invested in Brady and NE's decision; he almost sounds bitter at certain points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I don’t think even despite buffalos growth Brady was winning squat in New England. AFC is a tougher road IMO than the NFC.

Success Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I will not be shocked if BB tanks. People say he never would, but he's pretty smart, and knows his NFL history. He's seen what has happened to teams like the Bills, who stay just competitive enough to muster a 7-9 most of the time & stay out of reach of the top QB talent. If they did tank and get Lawrence, think of the collective groan from the rest of the NFL world. He'd probably enjoy that, also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 2020 or 2021 or 2022 i wouldn’t be picking Patriots to win Super Bowl WITH Brady. Another 1-2 division titles? Sure. But not the Super Bowl. So just do it now. Start now and maybe you get your new program implemented sooner. its not like Brady was 32 and they were letting him go and missing out on 160-190 more games. They are missing out on having him for 32 - 40 more games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo44 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 The choice to jettison Brady was a smart move. It’s not just about the 2020 season for them. It’s about the entire next phase of their future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Jimmy shipped off and out chasing adult film cougars in San Fran, the Patriots thought that Kraft’s ‘bad behaviour’ would cease. Little did they know...

ColoradoBills Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 BB needs 56 more regular season wins to be all time HC in wins. Is that what people think he is going for? He's 68 and would need at least another 5-6 seasons to get that (maybe more if he goes into a complete rebuild). I can't see him coaching at 74. If he doesn't luck into a QB (like he did last time) by next year he will hang it up IMO. I am shocked he hasn't named his kid DC yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, many will consider him the best head coach 5he game has ever saw. I think he just wants to make a run at 1 more SB to show it wasn’t all Brady.
