It's a fact that getting rid of Brady was the downfall of the dynasty and that is on Belichick. Everything else is excuse making. I mean Kraft stated in Episode 8 that Bill would show him different statistics which showed that Tom's throws over 20 yards were ranked near the lowest in the league. Bill said to Kraft "we have to be ready to move on."
How did that go for Bill? Oh yeah, 47-57 and ended up being pushed out of the club. He deserved that shitty ending. That is not how you treat the QB that made you famous.
Bill forgot the most important stat, and that is wins and losses. Brady is the winningest QB in NFL history. I wanna know what Bill was smoking when he made the decision to ditch Brady.
I just want to hear one Tommite admit that Brady sucked in 2019, his last year here. He stopped leading the team out of the tunnel and threw anything that didn't go
exactly according to plan into the 14th row. His stats were not close to his prime years and his lack of interest in taking any hits for his team was glaringly
obvious to anybody that was sitting at Gillette. Brady was, for the first time, phoning it in. He appeared to be in decline, flat out, and his final playoff game
in Gillette was an embarrassment to anybody that had seen what he was. He spent his down time moping on the bench and pretended interest only to the
extent he had to. He knew he was leaving long before he actually did. The man that had been the ultimate team player decided that he'd had enough of that.
I didn't want to see the truth, but that's what it was. One of the worst years of his entire career at the age of 42. Bill offered him a contract that suited exactly
what he was between the white lines at that time for THIS team but Brady was able to get reenergized in Tampa and make the organization look bad, but the
contract was actually a fair offer at the time. Revisionist historians can pile on now, using the wonderful benefits of hindsight, because they can all act like they
knew it all along, but that is total bullshit.
You don't pay somebody for what they used to be but for what they are at present and are likely to be for the remainder of the contract. Anybody that says they
knew Brady was going to be as great as he was in Tampa were either ignorant or lying.
Hey, Belichick made a big mistake, but it was far from the wrong call at the time.
