BB would start Brandon Jacobs and Jwood, he wouldn't trust Martz and his lack of a running game.Brady would probably start Jacobs and Kevin Jones because he went to college in Michigan and is a closet Lions homer.
1st of all, it is hard to argue with someone who does not know it is "KOSAR". Finally, you can not count wins as an assistant. If that is the case then you must think Dave Wannstedt is a great coach for winning SB's with the Cowboys when he was an assistant. Take Brady away and you have a slightly above average team.If you're going to include Cleveland in your assessment of Belichick (where he had to run off Kozar and many other cancerous influences in the lockerroom in order to get them back to the playoffs, which he did) you also need to include the hardware he accumulated as defensive coordinator of the New York Giants.
Clearly mis-spelling KoSar makes all the difference in the world.Clearly the fact that the Giants were a defensive powerhouse is not relevant at all.Clearly the only thing that matters is BB's record (as a head coach only) prior to making Brady the starter in New England.Thank you for helping me to see the light.1st of all, it is hard to argue with someone who does not know it is "KOSAR".

Brady would start Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson. He's that good. Belichick would wait until after the games had been played, and start whoever did best, then say that it was a misunderstanding of the rules if he got caught.
hahahaha....now, that's a good post.I'd give you an opinion if I had one, but all 3 are sketchy, and I refuse to believe belichick would have jones and norwood on his roster --- that's stretching the fantasy in fantasy football a little thin.maybe I'd roll dice on jacobs, hoping his hammy is ok.
True, but that's primarily because of the weak division.Is this hyperbole? The Chargers won't miss the playoffs... why would New England?
**** Rehbein, former NE Patriots' QB Coach, may he rest in peace.perhaps one of the most influential people in Tom Brady's career and New England's rise to NFL prominence yet nobody even knows who the guy is.What you have to give NE credit for is keeping Brady once they had him. In 2000, the Bledsoe, Michael Bishop QB "controversy"was pretty heated in NE with John Friesz firmly entrenched as the veteran backup.It was pretty unusual to keep 4 QBs on the active roster, but NE felt they saw something in Brady.After that first year, there were whispers about the young, 4th stringer who's work ethic was raved about by all the coaches.When the '01 season opened up, Brady was announced as the #2 guy (shocking some NE fans who expected Damon Huard to be #2).and FWIW, this question (Brady or Belichick) was part of a local NE TV Station poll over the weekend. If I can find it, I'll post it here.
The Patriots' organization has still proven to excel at evaluating talent so even in a world where Tom Brady was a total bust, I feel confident they would have just found and developed a different QB, possibly even one that we have long forgotten about.
Again, if it were that easy, why not trade Tom Brady for a king's ransom and get a new QB. I'm sure Brady could be moved for 3 first rounders, which could be shipped for a dozen third rounders, which could become 36+ 6th rounders. That's 36 more Tom Brady's. Develop those guys, trade them for 3 firsts each, and suddenly you have 108 first round picks. Repeat, and you're looking at thousands of first round picks!Tom Brady was a fluke, just like Terrell Davis was a fluke, just like Rod Smith was a fluke, just like Joey Porter was a fluke, just like every other very late pick that went on to become an uberstud was a fluke. If the Patriots really were so good at identifying steals late in the draft, explain to me why the year after they drafted Tom Brady, their draft was Richard Seymour in the first, Matt Light in the second, and then SEVEN STRAIGHT PICKS spent on players who were out of football within 3 years. Seven picks, seven players, not a one still in the NFL four years later. It's hard to reconcile that with this mythical Patriot franchise who could just whip a replacement for Brady out of thin air with a mere 7th round draft pick.
It's pretty simple. The Pats are too good for even an above average third rounder to make the team. As for why no other team signed them, it's because other teams can't evaluate talent as well as the Patriots, so they missed the boat on all that former-Patriot talent.
I agree with most of what you say here. I would say MOST other teams can't evaluate talent like the Pats. I find it interesting that all 22 of the Colts starters have played their entire career in the NFL with the Colts.That is what makes the Pats and Colts 2 of the elite teams year in and out.bostonfred said:
If the Patriots were REALLY smart, they'd release all of their starters except for Brady at once so that the rest of the league went into a feeding frenzy trying to sign them all, destroying everyone else's salary cap. After that, they could just trade Tom Brady for 22 7th round picks and draft a whole new starting corps that was better than the one that they just released. That way, they'd still be able to dominate the NFL, but even moreso because the other team's salary caps would all be screwed.bostonfred said:
Not bad, but they're a step ahead of you. The Patriots are so good at evaluating talent that Oakland took their fourth round pick for Moss, because the Raiders know just how valuable the Patriots' late round picks are.If the Patriots were REALLY smart, they'd release all of their starters except for Brady at once so that the rest of the league went into a feeding frenzy trying to sign them all, destroying everyone else's salary cap.

Dude this is just for pretend, use your imagination. This is for fun only, don't get all worked up.
Horrible.
