YupPost Brady the offensive coaching and personnel decisions were from bizzaro world. There is no rational explanation for it I can think of.
I refuse to believe any of it was done to sabotage the team or any specific player. Fact remains the whole god forsaken era has been stupidly frustrating.
“Great potential”?That's true with any rookie QB. He showed great potential that year and with proper coaching and decent weapons who knows where he could have ended up. Brady had a terrible start to his second season in 2002 losing 4 straight at one point. There is an ebb and flow to a QBs career especially the first 3 years and Bill short circuited him in year 2 ...
My guess would be his falling off a cliff in December and January.wow,thanks! i wonder what made him want to trade mac after year 1? must have been a combo of things.
5 times, in 42 starts. 2-3 record in those games.“Great potential”?
Eh.
He showed solid potential. Had two great games, the rest was definitely “game manager”. Hell, McDaniels didn’t trust him to throw at all in that game against the Bills.
In three seasons, I think Mac threw for 300+ yards 4-5 times.
His TD-INT was meh.
I just don't know what all the haters are going to do with themselves now that he's gone. Take up yodeling? I for one will miss him and I wish him the best of luck for the rest of his career.
One thing I won't miss is all his haters...What will you miss?
Don't kid yourself. Regardless of what happens in Jacksonville, the haters will beat their chest until proven wrong. Even then, they'll come up with excuses. Now, if Mac, given a fair chance, sucks elsewhere I'll be the first one on here to admit I was wrong.One thing I won't miss is all his haters...
Who "hates" him? Many fans thought he was a shit QB and not the future for the Patriots, that's not hate.One thing I won't miss is all his haters...
i do think some dislike his public persona for sure (when it comes to people i don't know personally,i try not to say "know" ,"like" "dislike" them because we don't know anything except what they present publicly). that said,i think most people feel as you said. i certainly don't wish ill upon him but think he needed to move on.Who "hates" him?

At some point we will find out what happened between Mac and Bill or even Mac and the staff. The Mac disaster was very likely Malcolm Butler 2.0 on steroids in my opinion.
now that i think about it,this pisses me off. if bb wanted to trade him after year 1 AND 2 and he "had final say",why wasn't he allowed to? and why would kraft act like bb did have final say when he fired him?? kraft wants it both ways. meddle on the dl while blaming bb. then he lets the new regime trade mac. wtf?????I really don't think it was personal to Bill. It may have become personal to Mac but only if he is in self-denial. His poor performance and attitude had a lot to do with his downfall here.
Mac began year 1 showing good promise but he started flinching at shadows and ducking under pressure the last half of year 1. Bill knew he wasn't the right stuff for the NFL.
Bill wanted to trade him for a high 1st but Kraft said no. Bill played him yr 2 bc that's what Kraft wanted. Mac's bad tendencies intensified. He got injured, squealed down the stairs and
benched.
Year 3 we all thought BOB would right the ship. Mac's ducking and flinching and poor play got worse and worse. Bill benched him for his poor play. Simple, to me anyway.
Kraft got pissed at 4 wins. Kraft blames Bill and fires him. But Kraft's new FO knows Mac's poor performance and lack of courage was on Mac. Now Mac is gone, too. Good luck to Mac!
Cheap Wesselnow that i think about it,this pisses me off. if bb wanted to trade him after year 1 AND 2 and he "had final say",why wasn't he allowed to? and why would kraft act like bb did have final say when he fired him?? kraft wants it both ways. meddle on the dl while blaming bb. then he lets the new regime trade mac. wtf?????

Lets pretend for a minute about what this 2024 team is shaping out to be. Lets say bill was still here and all the exact signings were happening. The BB haters would say Bill sucks he is just cheap and bringing back his own players. Well now bill is gone and the Pats are still cheap and Bringing back BB's players. Oh the irony!
