We might be feeling sorry for him 5 years from now. Belichick’s dad was a football coach and Bill’s sons hope to follow in his footsteps. There’s no doubt in my mind that Bill would like to step down and hand down the HC reigns to his son(s). The problem is that Steve seems to be a bit of an odd duck… He’s probably not HC coaching and I’ve never heard anyone in NE talk about his contributions. We’ve heard them talk about Jerrod Mayo but not Stevie Belichick. I think if he was at a point where his son was in line to take over, he would step aside.

John from Riverside Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 3 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: I can't tell if you are truly missing the point or just pretending to. What was Brady's arm strength coming from a college powerhouse? Mac Jones level, I would think. Armstrength? You mean like Jamarcus Russel (Josh was his comp by Mayockin 2018)? JA was pretty bad his rookie year. His arm strength hasn't made him a steadily better player (many argue hear he often throws the ball too hard too often). Anyway, it's hard to fathom BB would, after a season, think to dump a kid with relatively little starting experience in college who led the team to 10 wins, was 13th in yards, 8th in completion % after a season. That makes little sense. Don't you agree? He is not going to dump him.....that is the whole point. You will never win a super bowl when you have to cover up your average armed QB By the way....Mac Jones and Brady were not comparable as rookies if that is what you are getting at.......Brady was pin point accurate coming out the gate....Mac Jones is afraid to throw the ball down the field and when he does he throws high balls and a lot of almost interceptions (to go along with the interceptions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a coach - a good coach - but not one that I fear or much care about. He can retire or not retire. It's all the same to me. Yep. He and Brady were our daddies for too many years. Had we won back to back division titles while they were intact, that would be something. Wasn't even close to the case. Time to move on.

You can argue the Pats are average. People who want to use rookie year comparisons of the two are not watching the games. Mac is close to ceiling.. that’s why he got early consideration for the niners. He’s at best a less handsome Jimmy G. How do you know he's close to his ceiling after a season? Did you think, on week 1 that they would be challenging the Bills for the Division title right up to the end of the season and would face the Bills in the playoffs?

All he'd do is sit there, scowl, and give one word responses as a color commentator. He has all the personality of a mouldy, rotting vegetable. He definitely is like that with reporter pools. But if you see him in other venues away from being asked about Patriots football it really is night and day. At least on the NFL Specials or Interviews when he pops up. Media I feel are the the ultimate romanticizers/mythologizers if a A player scores a touchdown or makes a good play, according to the MEDIA, it’s not just a touchdown or a good play it has to mean something more. it means that he’s become more of a man or he’s dug deeper or he’s fighting for the Honor of his team and his town. but Bellichick is the ultimate realist IMO. A good play to him is, “yeah…he executed well.” That’s it. Because there is always the next play and what you did before doesn’t mean it will happen again no matter how rosy you paint it.

It is possible that Mac Jones becomes a great QB, next season the Patriots win 12 games and go deep into the playoffs. However it is also possible that Mac Jones turns out to be a weak armed game manager and the Patriots go 7-10 missing the playoffs. If it is the latter could you not see a scenario where Belichick retires? And wouldn’t that be “awesome”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Personally, I would hate to see Bill Belichick retire until another 3-4 years from now. The way he has built his team as a GM is purgatory-land. I have no doubt he’ll be a mediocre coach for the next several years and I would love to see that proven out right in front of everyone.

It would be amazing to see the Bills beat the Bucs in the Super Bowl and dispense with all their bogeymen. But I wouldn't be so dismissive about Belichick. Bill Walsh didn't win a lot of games his first couple years with the 49ers. Vince Lombardi didn't light up the world after he left Green Bay. Even good coaches need good players. You can fault Belichick the GM, but Belichick the Coach is still pretty talented. Just getting this year's Pats to the playoffs was an accomplishment.

There was something different about Tom (unfortunately) from the time he stepped onto the field. High balls? Lot/high rate of interceptions? Who's rookie year are you talking about now? I was comparing Josh's and Jones's rookie seasons based on expectations and actual results. The Bills were a 9-7 playoff drought ending team before McD blew it all up and Allen came on board. Allen wasn't drafted as some down the road prospect. His results were not initially encouraging and any claim that was a consensus even on this board that he would become what he has in 2 more years is a laughable fabrication. Revisionist history. No one expected NE to make it to the playoffs with some kid with less than two seasons of college QB'ing (at Bama, no less) or was going to be the best QB of his draft his rookie year. Certainly you did not. Then you objected to my comparison to Brady's first starting season. Specifically, you said: "Brady was pin point accurate coming out the gate....Mac Jones is afraid to throw the ball down the field and when he does he throws high balls and a lot of almost interceptions (to go along with the interceptions)" And all of those claims are easily proven false, as I noted. And you claim now that, 21 years ago, you knew there was "something special about Brady", then next you will tell us that you bought Netflix when it was 71 cents a share. Not credible.
