I didn't even know Belichick was the Jets coach...for one day. Now I thought giving Welker to the Patriots was bad, but giving them a coach that "won" [ill use that loosely with the spying and everything] 3 super bowls tops that by far.

Well they didn't give Belly to the Pats, he quit on them, a day after he was supposed to take over for Parcells. He was a weasel back then too.
That's what caused the rift between him and ParcellsNJFINSFAN1 likes this. -
True bad words on my part, they lost him is more like it. In our case with Welker, now that was a give thanks to the ever wonderful cam cameron.

Now it's obvious. Imagine three Jet Superbowls. They are our more hated enemy.

there wasn't a damn thing we could do about the welker deal
we were compensated very well considering
2nd round pick
unfortunately we used the pick on satele and he is no longer here
so true we didn't give welker away
that is a ridiculous misconception -
Yup it ended up being a TRADE following the POISON PILL language, and we recieved a 2nd (Satele) and 7th (A. Wright - eventually cut) - then Satele was traded to OAK for a 6th round pick this past draft of 2009 (A. Gardner) mainly because of FA signing of GROVE in many respects.
so all in all....not shabby for a slot WR that doesnt score (and who if we didnt trade, would have crushed our CAP for the value he would have returned in our system)! -
I have a friend who is a jet fan. I remind him of Bellichek quitting the jets every chance I can!

While Billy B is a great coach, it would not have happened with the Jets ownership at the time and without Pioli and the rest of the background players. -
