The Incident That Caused Tom Brady To LEAVE The New England Patriots...

[@Mikerophone]

Okay for the love of god: 1. Yes I know the Patriots are in the AFC East, there was a typo when I wrote this up 2. I know the Bills lost 4 super bowls in a row in the early 90's, I wanted to say the first team to attempt to win 4 super bowls.

Brady going to the Bucs was the best move he could have ever made, both career wise and PR wise. He won a Super Bowl with a team that basically allowed him to run the entire team as like a player/coach/GM and was also allowed to kick back and show that he actually has a personality. Just that video of him throwing the Lombardi trophy to another boat improved his image from "the GOAT who is kinda boring" to "the GOAT that is fun and cool"

How many players have ever stayed happy under one coach for 20 years? How many superstars have been so forced to sit down and just be quiet? Indeed, how many regular people have been happy working for the same boss for 20 years? No one really knows what was going on in Tom's head except Tom. My best guess is that he does respect Bill, and what Bill taught him, and provided for him over the years. But also just outgrew Bill. The mentee needed a break from the mentor who refused to accept that the mentee was now his equal. A fairly common story in many walks of life. So Tom left the family farm to go see if he could make his fortune in the wider world, a story as old as story telling.

The incident was from the 2019 final regular season game against Miami. Pats force a punt with 1:40 on the clock before half time. Belichick calls a timeout to give Brady the ball for a drive to put up points before the half. . . . Except, no. . . . No timeout, Fins run 40 seconds off the clock, Brady gets the ball with under a minute. Runs one play and the clock keeps running into half time. Ultimate disrespect for Brady and the offense and they lose to Miami, and KC gets the first-round bye. Great job coach. And great job for benching Malcolm Butler in the Superbowl and getting torched by Nick Foles. Defensive genius there, while Brady threw for 500 yards, a Superbowl record.

Just watched this October 2021. Buccaneers beat the Pats at Gillette and played the first super bowl in their home stadium - and naturally won it. Destroying the KC Chiefs whose only touchdown in Tampa occurred when the team plane landed - not one during the game. Perhaps in the long run Belichick gets Brown into a Brady clone - he definitely looks the real deal - and it will work for both. Tom needed a team that could win now, Belichick needed to rebuild someday. Will his new QB leave $100 million on the table to let Belichick look like a genius? That is an entirely different question. It wouldn’t shock me b/c Jones seems to have the character that winning is all that matters. Will he still feel that way after one, two, 3 titles? Only time will tell. As Boomer said, “that’s why they play the games.”

Tom was the ultimate team player. He took less money to help the team. He rarely did commercials unless other players were involved. He had Gronk and Moss for a while, but didn’t always have great receivers. Tom left because he wasn’t playing as well, that was do to the poor talent around him. Belichick never gave Tom the respect the goat deserved!

Well, looking back now it is clear the Bellichek is mediocre. He made some good trades and decisions, but without the QB spot settled he cannot build an offence. Looking back on the totality of his trades and draft picks, it is easy to see how much Brady carried those offences and trained the receivers. Bellichek got not only a top tier QB, but a top tier OC in Brady. Mac Jones is a good QB, but without a good OC and with time since Brady left, we just see that the offence cannot move the ball. The defence isn’t even good anymore. I think Bellichek needs to be fired if the Pats finish below a .300 (which is honestly what I am expecting).

Totally agree--then, maybe sports analysts wouldn't have proclaimed that Tom Brady (with his few excellent receivers) was "definitely done."

Dude if it weren't for your channel, I wouldn't be so invested in football off the field. Keep it up!!!! 💯 Cheers from the other side of the Pacific ocean

Man I swear you’re the best bro, no one comes close to the type of work you put in. Been following you for a cpl years now and you haven’t lost your touch

[@Mikerophone]

Thank you so much Julio 🥺

How I wish you evaluated me! Your bar is not low, its 10 feet under, if you think this garbage is good.

I lost "ALL RESPECT" for Bill when his ego cost them a Superbowl by benching that kid in the Superbiwl against the Eagles.

[@kennycai8695]

Honestly, I'm glad Brady left the Patriots. With the benefit of hindsight now that Brady has returned to Foxboro as a member of the Buccaneers, I can proudly say this: most of us football fans don't hate Brady; we hate the vocal minority of Patriots fans with a constant need to flex their superiority everywhere. Just look at how they behaved when Brady made his entrance, or when Brady took a sack from his former team. "Savage" is the word I will use to describe the whole thing. This was the player that brought them 6 championships, and they could not even show him a shred of respect. As a reminder: THIS was what fans of 31 other NFL teams have to put up with when Brady was a Patriot. The sheer disrespect and insufferable attitudes of this vocal minority is why a lot of us reasonable football fans can never appreciate Brady in his prime.

[@takaorobinson8719]

Very well said.

[@theswullnasty3353]

2:11 “The New England Patriots were attempting to become the 1st team to make 4 straight Super Bowls” Wrong. The Buffalo Bills did that 30 YEARS AGO and it’s common knowledge even for casual football fans. I’m from Vegas. I’m not a Bills fan. I wasn’t even alive for that team’s run. You’re a sports content creator. How do you not know this?!

[@christiancastrillon2040]

Or they play in the AFC West?!? Ffs. Amateurs

He's lazy but wanted to get the video up before the TB-NE game for the most views.

[@riansachar]

Amazing video bro. The amount of detail and the story telling tone you have. Wow!

[@mikeleahy1987]

He was wrong about two things they would have been 2nd team make 4 straight nd said they won afc west but there in afc east

[@rhameseshamilton8045]

Notice when players leave New England never want to go back and very few have good memories being there.

[@davem7722]

really? Patrick chung and Trent Brown both came back, so did martellus bennett and that dude didn't get along with anybody. Different strokes for different folk's

[@WanderingWolf365]

Belichick and McDaniels both showed they're nothing without Brady. All they had to do was keep their mouths shut, play their roles and let Brady cook. But they failed, got too prideful. McDaniels now having failed stints as HC of two different teams, and Belichick in last place with the Patriots. - WW

Started watching NFL in 5th grade Rams became fav team that year they played Pats in SB and barely lost in 2001season I believe it was. Since then I've hated Tom and Pats. That being said I have the utmost respect for Tom and all he's done. I can't deny he's a GOAT despite the heartbreak he's caused me over the years.

[@slick742]

Thank you Mike for putting out great content....this has been an awesome video

[@CallMeMicahT]

I love the way you did the intro. Taking a look at the history of champions

[@John14-6...]

The facts are that even if Brady stayed in New England we weren't going very far in the playoffs possibly getting knocked out in the first round again and that's because the team was depleted of talent. Tom went to the perfect team in Tampa Bay who was stacked with talent on both sides of the ball and just needed on position to succeed that being quaterback. Tom was no idiot as this was the perfect choice to get back to a superbowl and there weren't too many other choices that would of brought him there. Im sick of people saying the superbowl with Tampa proves he didn't need Belichick. They needed each other and it was the perfect storm. Without that combination, Belichick or Brady individually might have only gotten to half of those superbowls.

[@thinkofitthisway7804]

Very well said Mike.

I think if we had brady in 2021, we would have lost in the divisional round to bills or browns or something
