1. Good play Coach

2. I despise him slightly less now. Good on Bill! Nt

3. I'm with you. And as it turns out, it was Brady not him as the key to those championships.

Brady's team won a playoff game yesterday and it still in Super Bowl contention. Belichick's team didn't make the playoffs at all.

4. hard to make the playoffs with Cam Newton as your QB

But I just gained a little more respect for Bill. Good call coach.

5. Newton made the Super Bowl before he had all the injuries. And this year he got covid.

Did you forget?

7. Sorry, but the dude is overrated

Just because you make the super bowl doesnt mean you are a good QB.....Trent Dilfer, Joe Flacco, Colin Kaepernick, amongst others

8. They were all good enough to get there once and many can't say that.

And we'll never know about Kaepernick since his career was unjustly cut short.

And Flacco had a great season that year he won the Super Bowl. Give credit where it due.

9. The year he started his protest he was the 3rd string QB on a mediocre team

He was actually benched early in the season the year before. He never really was a very good QB. He rode a hot streak for a year and a half, was overhyped then faded quickly.

10. That's your opinion on Kaepernick. Many times it's the coach and the system.

Look at Mayfield this year. New coach with a system that took advantage of his particular talents and he just beat the Steelers yesterday and his team is still in it. Many were saying he was washed up too.

Now what about Flacco? He had a hell of a year when the Ravens won that year. You're opinionated but IMO that's about it.

11. He finished the season as the starting quarterback

He actually played well in his last NFL game ever.

17-22, 215 YDS, 1 TD 9.7 YPA.

He was actually the backup then later became the starter. The 49ers had one of the lowest payrolls in the league in his last 2 years. I also see in his last season he had 16-4 TD to INT ratio.

Colin Kaepernick is the only player in college football history with 4,000 rush yards and 10,000 passing yards.

13. Yes. IMO he still had years of productive football left before his career was cut short.

12. It is hard to judge Belichick on this season alone

Patriots used up cap space for title runs and not really prepared for rebuilding.

Also Tampa Bay has very talented receivers and a good coach with Bruce Arians. I doubt Brady would do as well if he signed with the Jaguars

[brush]

14. You nave a point. Let's see what happens after the Pats have...

a couple of good draft years.

6. Just don't ever forget this:
