K D Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) best QB of all time and a system in place so that if the other players don't work out (drugs, cheating, murder, etc) they are easily replaceable Edited May 4, 2017 by kdiggz
White Linen Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 This is such garbage. How convenient to act like you have it figured out with the greatest QB of the era. They have gone through and have made a plethora of changes. They have two constants that are so good, the other changes are irrelevant. That's how good hoodie and Brady are. The content of what he's saying has some truth to it, but it's elementary not some enlightened thought. The better example of this, IMO, is the Bengals. They believe they have a good coach and they stay steadfast on that belief and make adjustments to their roster. They are also an example that if you don't have the best QB of the era, continuity doesn't always translate into winning. I would have much more respect for Kraft if he would just say he's been fortunate. Instead he bloviates about how he's figured out how to bring ego's together and all that other crap.
sir andrew Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Well, I'm glad Bill Belichick is on the same page as Bill Belichick.

I would have much more respect for Kraft if he would just say he's been fortunate. Instead he bloviates about how he's figured out how to bring ego's together and all that other crap. Precisely. Any Patriots #thinkpiece about "The Patriot Way," or "model organization top to bottom" is code for "we have the greatest QB ever and you don't." Why has no one abdicated for some useless, no name, never heard of him DT to just take the guy down? He's won 5 rings, has nothing left to prove to anyone. Furthermore, whatever punishment the Bills (preferably) would receive is so extremely disproportionate to how losing Tom Brady affects the balance of power in the AFC so greatly. Headhunting is commonplace in the NHL. Teams do it every day without apology or guilt. As terrible as it is to say, what's the worst thing that could happen to the Bills if they just took Tom Brady out? I'm serious. What's the worst thing that could happen? The lose a draft pick? Suspension? Fine? Who cares? You just put your team in a position to win its division for the first time since the Clinton presidency.
Success Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Kraft is way too full of himself. He hired BB, and the rest took care of itself. Let's see how amazing he is when BB leaves.
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 In Buffalo, Russ has been promoting simple "Continuity" and he filters it out threw the mouth pieces of John Murphy and Chris Brown and others. It's been that way for over a decade. But it was then and is now a completely flawed concept. Continuity for continuity sake will not grow something bad into something good. I can't take my auto mechanic and give him continuity as my tailor and expect him to produce good fitting suits. Buffalo has never understood this. Hopefully Mr. Pegula can implement the right system of "continuity". Continuity does not Breed succes Continuity maintains existing success
boyst Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 When you have belichick running the entire show and anyone scared to object him you're gonna have this. We will see how he does when he looses belickick. In hope he retires before Brady. Who am I kidding? I hope they both get hit by a train. The world will suffer not great loose.
Success Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 They actually want to trademark "unequivocally the sweetest." Man, does that organization ever need some time on the bottom so they and their fans can just become normal human beings again.
Iron Maiden Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 They actually want to trademark "unequivocally the sweetest." Man, does that organization ever need some time on the bottom so they and their fans can just become normal human beings again. Didn't you mention something to the effect that , during last year's SB run, some of their fans were actually saying that getting to the big game was starting to be boring....can you even begin to imagine....talk about being spoiled..... I was thinking about those kids that were born in the early to mid 90's...by the time they were old enough to understand what football was and pay attention, they've only known NE as the powerhouse they are now....they have no idea what having a bad team means...

Yeah - I read their boards too much. Part of my unhealthy obsession. There is such a distinction between older Pats fans and the ones you describe, just generally speaking. The older ones are truly savoring every second of this run. The younger fans definitley talk about how boring the regular season is now, and how it's basically preseason. Maybe I'm rationalizing, but I'd rather be us. I think the feeling of winning is a lot different when you have to suffer first.
row_33 Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 True but please don't kid yourself. It sure helps for the last 15 years to have the best QB of all time be under center & still playing at an extremely high level for this engine to be running smoothly. Teams in the NFL with a starting franchise QB for at least 6 years recently, many still counting Atlanta, Baltimore, Carolina, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Dallas, Green Bay, Indy (5 now), KC (4 now), Chargers, Pats, Saints, Giants... I'll stop counting there, a great QB for a long stretch is common in the NFL...
row_33 Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Team needs something to take credit for. Sukcing for 17 straight years can't have that much fight over who gets the big piece of chicken.
HT02 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 That's not really accurate....he took a perennial losing franchise and turned it around before the lucky break with Brady ....NE became respectable when Kraft hired Parcells....they got Bledsoe and went to the SB in 1996....I think Foxboro has been sold out every game since 1993.... He also traded a draft pick to get Belichick....he obviously saw something he liked there..... That's why I said he was viewed as a meddler (also a cheapskate) Parcells quit and walked away from the am AFC Championship team because Kraft and his minions wouldn't let him run the team.
Rigotz Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Bob Kraft is an investor that was in the right place at the right time. He got lucky in late rounds on the greatest QB of all time and hired a coach that just failed with the Browns and later turned into one of the greatest coaches of all time. He doesn't know much about football, compared to any NFL GM. He is the money guy. That's it.
TheFunPolice Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 One of the greatest football coaches of all-time One of the top 2 QBs of all time Put them together and keep them together for 15+ years so they can continue to add to the system instead of starting over and pretty much nothing else matters.
Jasovon Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Without Bill Bellichick the Patriots will go back to setting NFL records for low attendance at their home games again. Nothing to see here folks.
4merper4mer Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Kraft may have been drinking when he employed one of the most often used set of corporate BS lines while decrying corporate BS. Check your ego at the door, no finger pointing blah blah blah. The guys was probably drunk.
