Look up coachable in the Dictionary. His picture's right there.
Cheers
When did he stop leading them out of the tunnel? I usually didn't get to see who did because of watching on a stream.
Is it possible that Brady's lack of trust stifled guys like Tony Simmons, Brian Tyms, Aaron Dobson and others?
If you think about it - in 19 years Brady only passed to Troy Brown, Deion Branch, Wes Welker, Randy Moss and Jules from the WR spot (I'm sure I'm missing someone.)
Sure there was the occasional year from Patten, Givens, Amendola and Hogan but maybe Harry and others will flourish under Cam.
I don't know who wrote this piece, but, it captured at least some of the reasons why I started souring on Brady over the last few seasons.
I would have added the numerous examples of Brady quitting on plays early.....TOO early......and heaving the ball in the stands rather than trying to find somebody and take a chance of getting hit.
I can't quantify that opinion in any way that I could cite, but I feel certain that it: A. Happened and B. Resulted from Brady deciding in advance that it was more important that he save himself than his team. That attitude stood in clear contrast to the way he played when he was the leader of this team in actual fact and deed rather than through reputation and force of habit. I believe his teammates understood that the Emperor Had No Clothes even if they had never read that particular story as a kid. And we're only now stating to hear the extent of it.
When he decided to stop leading the team out of the tunnel it said something important but nobody noticed. Brady knew that he didn't want to be that guy anymore and handed the torch to Julian -- his buddy who will never quit until they carry him off the field for the last time.
I will eventually learn to get over it and remember the Brady that used to be, but for now I'm glad we have Cam Newton, who is absolutely doing everything right.
Yeah I didnt get that one either, he always lead them out, even in the last game he ever played here.

No. Brady has more td's to different players than any QB in NFL history. Believe it or not, sometimes the pats can draft a player who is not good, especially at receiver. He was a great QB here, he did what was best for the team and that is why he was kept for so long. Longer than any player ever under belichick. There was a reason for that. Harry was here 8 games last year and a rookie, anything he does in the future is up to him.

"I would say (to Belichick) I don't have any trust that this guy can help us win the game," Brady said. "I definitely expressed my opinion to say 'If you put him out there, I'm not going to throw him the ball.' The whole team is trusting me to do what's right by the team, so you can't put someone out there that I don't believe in. Because if I don't believe in him, it's worthless for the team.
"I think fortunately for me, Coach Belichick always saw it the same way as me, which is why I think we had such a great connection. He saw football very much the same way that I saw it. All the coaches that I worked with on a daily basis, they want the same thing."

Bill Belichick lost his mother last week. I'm sure he has deeper concerns than the outfit he picks out on a zoom call with reporters. Shameless what the talking heads are discussing today.
Our own Kam Chancelor maybe.
... its a lie. Brady didnt say that about our receivers last year, and you of all people should have checked on it.
