Belichick is a genius

Belichick is an *******.

I dont understand how he gets so much, especially when other teams give up so much less. I mean, the Jets got a basement bargain deal for Sanchez really, yet NE is snagging second rounders for chump change this year? I dont know what they do, but its crazy how they get max value all the time and seem to be able to move at will.

Belichick has all these GM's on camera doing something dirty.

he will only be a genius if he turns the picks into something.

Yep I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday and it continued today as I saw what they accomplished.

I so want that guy to get a case of the Jimmy Johnson's and retire.
He will keep that team top caliber until he's gone IMO and it kills me.

Dude, he's already established as a football genius.

many people were waiting for him to fail with Cassel, and he still turns in an 11-5 season. Against tougher teams than we faced as well.

They have had draft issues recently though. His ability to engineer trades and to coach are awesome, his talent judgement isnt perfect though. I have to also say, Ive never seen a team catch as many breaks as the Pats.
Really, the entire city of Boston recently. Its like one of those massive domino patterns just falling in a crazily complex way. We keep waiting for someone to remove the one domino that stops the train, but it just wont happen.

Agreed.

I think he's able to trade down and trade for next year's picks successfully because he doesn't reach for a need or a player he "loves". Teams trade up because they target a specific guy. He doesnt do that. His teams usually don't have glaring needs that MUST be filled. So the rich gets richer. I hate him too, but I respect him.

How many of those 12 picks make his roster? Less than half? Half?

How to accumulate extra picks in every draft for dummies.

Step 1: Trade down from 1st round for extra picks.

Step 2: Trade those extra picks for higher future picks.

Step 3: Laugh and walk away.

Step 4: Wait one year then repeat steps 1-3.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Not that we needed a constant reminder that he is the best football mind in the game today. If he was a chess player, I would let any computer play vs. him. Then we might win...

He really is a great football minded guy. He sees things that others don't on a regular basis. I know he cheated...but he is the best in the business...sorry TUNA.

I knew I should have read your book first. I read Rick Speilmans and thought it might work...

Step 1: Trade 2nd round picks for 3rd string QB's. That's where teams hide their really good QB's.

Step 2: Trade DE's in their prime away for aging WR's and 3rd down scat backs that won't last a season.

Step 3: Get the local paper to find work.

Step 4: Convince your next team, that it was not your fault.

Step 5: Repeat the process over and over until you get FIRED!!!

Gotta be honest here...your's sounds a lot better to me. :lol::lol::lol:

His had 5 steps...so I thought it would be better.

If you cannot have the best... You can always be happy with #2.

In Tuna We Trust...

Exactly

Love him or hate him, he's a genius. Pure and simple.

a guy can be an utter jerk and also extremely talented at what he does, Bill Belichick is the textbook example of that.

Well we beat them last year we can do it again.

It would feel even better to do it this year for the following reasons:

1) Brady is back: no excuses
2) They can't say they were ambushed by the Wildcat
3) If JT signs with them, I will want to beat them worse than ever.

hitler and manson were also "called" genius's for what they did.
Am I comparing him to them? No, not really, I think he's been lucky and knows how to cheat better than most.

I think Belichick is a good coach but more importantly he's a lucky pos. QB's like Tom Brady are special and Belichick and the Pats are lucky to have him. In 2007 with Brady they went 16-0 in the regular season. Without Brady they went 11-5. Now I'm sure thats not all down to Tom Brady but the Patriots are MUCH better when he's there. It's easy to look like a genius when you have a HOF QB.

I think this shows how important it is for our defense to get on Brady. They don't have Matt Cassel anymore so Brady is their offense. Our guys have to sack him, hurry him and harass him. The QB is important to every team but Tom Brady makes good coaches look great.

Exactly, I am a big JT fan but if he signs with NE hes the enemy no doubt about it. I think we will do well against them this year, I think we match up very well against them. Hopefully we can make it so they are watching the playoffs on TV again.

Whose the one that drafted Tom Brady?

Bill Belichick. :up:

I dislike him as much as the next guy but I have respect for what he's done - aside from the SpyGate issue. He's a dam good talent evaluator and an even better head coach.
