@mikerodak: Bill Belichick announces that Brian Daboll will be re-joining the Patriots coaching staff

[Ebolapox]

let's put it this way... put tony eason, a reasonably decent nfl starting QB in the 80's, on the bill belichek patriots, and you guys never even sniff a super bowl. I only went with eason b/c he was a pat. otherwise, you could probably insert any other top 10-20 QB.

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.

You are becoming increasingly annoying now that the whole "Patriots Way" myth has been exposed as a fraud.

Patriots fans, such as yourself like to think you created some magic formula for winning with the "right 53", blah blah blah.

You won the same way great teams won before you... with a great QB and a great team. The 49ers in the 1980's won that way. The Cowboys in the '90s won that way.

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 ***** or Cassel or Crennel or McDaniels or any of the rest of the dingleberries. It's not our fault you signed ***** 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).

What is your fault:

1) Lecturing us for questioning Pioli's draft picks
2) Mocking us for lampooning Cassel years before you did

How you can atone for this:

1) Strap on a Semtex and penny nail vest
2) Invite Amnorix and JustFistingMyself over
3) Ignite

The Chiefs would do the same thing if KC Wolf went off and coached for a while. They would bring him back for the inside info on mascots.

The Patriots Way is Tom Brady
