I just like how the Pats don't seem to get attached to guys. They don't let players hold them hostage the way Zeke and D-Law was easily able to get what they wanted.I think we will learn a lot about the Patriots over the next several years without Brady as their ace in the hole. Brady's ability to make throws, to make adjustments at the line, to control and orchestrate the game was a huge advantage for them. Both on offense and on defense. Then him having the filthy rich wife enabling him to take lesser salaries enabled them to do good things cap wise. They have lost a lot when they lost that guy. Time will tell if they hit on another one just like him in Jones.. odds are certainly against it.
I mean, as example, If Jason Witten wanted to play one more farewell season Jerry and Co would sign him right now and would demand that he get worked in the lineup somehow.
Jason Garrett was allowed to be a mediocre head coach for a decade because Jerry just couldn't let him go, and only did so when it seemed that letting him go was the only option he had that made even an ounce of sense. Even going as far as to say that "Garrett WILL coach a team to a Super Bowl win one day", meanwhile he's the OC in New York and he's not far from being fired from that job, let alone head coaching a team to a Super Bowl victory as Jerry predicted.
They make decisions based on emotion rather than logic and it's haunted this organization for a quarter of a century.
