You've seen Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees and Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner and other great quarterbacks fail, time and again, to get to the big dance. The Patriots have been THE standard of excellence in the NFL for over 10 years now, with five SB appearances and three wins. Obviously they haven't won it all in quite a while now, but nobody, absolutely NOBODY, has been anywhere near as consistent as the Patriots for a very long time now. Hell, you've seen the Saints with Brees completely fall apart without their HC. There are three reasons for the Patriots' success (in no particular order): (1) Bob Kraft, (2) Tom Brady, (3) Bill Belichick. Would Belichick have succeeded like this without Brady? Obviously not. Would Brady have succeeded TO THIS EXTENT without Belichick? Seems to me no. I think Brady is the best QB ever, but you can see just looking at Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers that having an outstanding QB isn't enough all by itself. Belichick rebuilt the Patriots around Brady while consistently keeping them in contention.

Yes, but they're still the standard of excellence in the NFL, aren't they?

I'm happy to see him gone, but let's not forget the steaming pile of fail he was stuck with at QB. Being hamstrung with the triumverate of suck that is Cassel, Quinn and Stanzi would have ruined pretty much anybody.

Which is probably why no one else wanted it after Weis decided the ceiling had been reached, that Cassel's playing abilities had already plateued. Haley and Weis were right. And **** Brain 'Dumbull' Daboll.

7.9% unemployment and Daboll has a job.

Speculation is that McDaniels may already have a job offer so they're grooming Daboll to replace him at OC the same way they brought McDaniels in early to replace Bill O'Brien.
As for the usual blathering about the "Patriot Way", your tears of hatred are tasty. The "Patriot Way" is varying and debatable degrees of Kraft, Belichick, and Brady. It was never about Pioli or Cassel or Crennel or McDaniels or any of the rest of the dingleberries. It's not our fault you signed Pioli or traded for Cassel. And say what you want about Belichick, but he's built 12 years' worth of winning teams AROUND Tom Brady (because, as we've seen with Peyton, and Marino, and Montana in his later years, one QB does not make a team). From '01 to '12, in those 12 years: 10 playoff appearances, 10 division wins, 5 SB appearances, 3 SB wins, not a single .500 or losing season, total regular season record of 146-46. I don't think it would be that good without Brady but, since he's rebuilt the roster a good five times now, it's clear that Belichick would be good enough to build a winner (e.g. going 11-5 with Cassel). |

I would be very interested to see Daboll as New England's OC next year, heh.
