Didn't see this previously but will say that I disagree with your definition of "troll-ish", as a fan I'm loving the fact the team is looking like it's coming together to play Patriots football. At the very least the future looks bright, and in the mean time we have meaningful football in the here and now. However, a lot of fans didn't like the way the Brady exit went down, or the way Bill handled it, not to mention some of the personnel decisions he's made over the last few years, and expressing our frustration with how last year went and even early this year, doesn't make us trolls or lesser fans like the "tyLaw D bag" would suggest.
^Namecalling. We shall see how the moderators handle it.
BB handled it as well as he possibly could have. The ego explosion is all on Brady.
Per Tom Curran after the Atlanta SB, the family went up to Brady and basically said "oh, it's time to milk this for all it's worth". I had it all along. Brady changed after meeting Giselle and he wanted to be like MeBron in the NBA. BB saw it, thought Brady's postseasons from 2007-2012 weren't good, which they weren't, dribbling out 14-17 points per game with all world weaponry on offense, and BB set out to fix Brady. And, he did. He scared him silly.
The question is, why is Brady so obsessed with himself and his brand over being one of the guys? You'd have to ask Brady why he changed.
How is Brady's self importance or ego obsession with Giselle in tow, making less than Giselle, somehow BB, the team or the fans' problem? Care to explain that?
I LOVE the way BB handled it by drafting JimmyG in 2014 to curb Brady's ego and scare him for his job and help the team win 3 more SBs, while carrying a primadonna in Brady and keeping it quiet so no one outside the locker room really knew. I suspected, but didn't know the details of it all. Why did a legendary QB look like a deer in the headlights in the postseason and why was he throwing 45 times from a shotgun every week predictably so? To chase states for media attention jealous of Manning and Brees? Hmm.
Brilliant leadership of our team from BB managing the ego, where usually when a high profile player's ego explodes on other teams, it destroys the locker room. BB was ready to walk from Brady after 2017 and turn to JimmyG. Brady whined, Kraft agreed and they send him to an extension in 2018 and 2019.
Are you new to following this league?
His personnel decisions over the past few years have been good. Adrian Phillips outplayed Jamal Adams last year and he's doing it again this year, for example. Try to keep up.
Just because you missed how BB built 2 dynasties with a slow, methodical strategy doesn't mean he made poor personnel moves. If you don't understand basic economics and finance, doesn't mean you're smarter than BB. You don't know more than BB, nor do I.
