If Belichick could have advanced New England even to the first round of the playoffs after Tom Brady. his market value would have been exponentially higher at this time. Fact is, New England is less than even a shell of themselves since Tom Brady and draw little to no fear in coming opponent the way they used to.

What other D has shutdown Mahomes and KC offense for 4 quarters in a meaningful game? Nothing against the great Tom Brady but great D and good offense enabled that Tampa SB run. Also, Belichick was instrumental as DC in 2 Giants SB wins. The 2nd w/“two pair” as LT likes to point out. In fact, the Giants D carried Belichick off the field after that win.

⁠@@Zionik81lol doubt it, do you even know why Brady fell so low? He had to constantly split playing time with nepotism babies and every time he started at Michigan he was fantastic , he was a top 5 qb prospect coming out of high school and was expected to to go Cal or UCLA or another big west coast skill but chose to go to Michigan, Brady falling as low as he did was a complete FLUKE, as was Brock Purdy being the last pick of the draft despite being the most efficient passer in the nation and having the highest wonderlic score of all quarterbacks in his class, it was complete laziness by scouting teams refusing to do their due diligence Brady would have been a star anywhere

It's worth a reminder that there was surprisingly little interest in Brady when he left NE and that worked out pretty well. I do think Bill is extremely motivated to do what Brady did and win without him. But I agree, he has to adapt or face extinction. If he brings in McDaniels as OC, and obviously the right QB, it could work.

I call cap, when Brady was a free agent only 2 teams had interest, doesn't mean the league was right. 49ers could have had a chip if they signed him.

[@exhaustguy]

Age is different for a player than a coach though. Who wanted a 43 year old QB. The next oldest QB (besides Brady) to win a SB was 39. It will be a while before a QB older than Stafford (34 at the time) wins the SB. If Stafford doesn't win another one, then realistically only Wilson could win one in the next three years to pass Stafford.

[@rons3634]

If BB is interviewing just to be a coach, then I'm surprised more teams aren't talking to him. If he's interviewing for coach/GM, that's different. Not many teams want that and his record in the GM department hasn't been stellar lately.
