Twitter: Ex Cowboys Garret Gilbert to sign with Patriots

[Proof]

And? People call him a genius and say he is the greatest coach ever. A lot of teams dealt with players sitting out and tons of injuries. You're telling me this genius, the greatest coach ever, couldn't even get his team to .500?

yes? lol. it happens and doesn’t denigrate what he’s done the last 20 years. and none of whichever teams your referencing dealt with a loss the magnitude of Brady.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

No, but that is what makes him great. He looks under every stone regardless.

10-4! He does indeed!

He's 61-72 without Brady at QB so it's not like he was exactly lighting it up before Brady fell into his lap. Remember, Brady only got in the game when Bledsoe got hurt. It's not like he was pulled for Brady. Genius.

And why do that? To get a worse draft pick?

He knew he wasn't going to win the SB, so he tanked as much as possible to get a better draft position.

Smart.

He tanked as much as possible? They went 7-9 and picked lower than us. If that's tanking he's not very good at it. You could say McCarthy is smart and we tanked after Dak went down but most people here just call him fat.

and brady was a 6th round backup afterthought before playing for Bill.

who are the coaches you’d place above him and let’s analyze their careers

 

[ESisback]

WE were stupid for holding him so long, but Bellycheat the GENIUS picks him up, after he lets Scam Newton go, who we’d be stupid to grab as a #2. Meanwhile, we’re stupid for claiming Will Grier, stupid for keeping Rush, and stupid for paying Dak. Plus, had we NOT picked up Grier, we’d be stupid. It gets confusing, but the common thread? We’re stupid!✊

Tom Landry, Bill Parcells, John Madden, Chuck Knoll, Jimmy Johnson, Marty Schottenheimer, Don Shula just to name a few off the top of my head.

So you are saying that getting to 9 & winning 6 SB's as a head coach in the salary cap era doesn't move your needle?

I never said he's not a good head coach. But when you have the QB most everyone says in the greatest QB to ever play, signed under a team friendly contract allowing you to put the needed pieces around him, it makes it looks not so genius-like. Again, what has he ever done without Brady as QB? Even with Brady there were constant allegations and punishments for cheating. You can say all coaches cheat but that just makes him look dumber because he is actually getting caught.

So Grier for Gilbert.......lol

A 3rd round draft pick going into year three over an unaccomplished UDFA who is on his 9th team in 8 years. Sounds like an upgrade.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Gilbert on his 9th team in 8 years. LOL....gotta give it to him. He's a survivor. Being a career backup QB in the NFL is not a bad gig. No one expects much so its hard to disappoint. Just move on to the next.

He's the backup QB version of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

 

[Diehardblues]

I'd have kept him over Rush.

Better yet we could have kept him on practice squad instead of Nooch.

He's mostly been the backup to the backup or on practice squads. Saves having to find another line of work though.

 

[OmerV]

Could we have? There has to be some point a player is no longer practice squad eligible.

 

[MyFairLady]

Brady is a god. Last season proved that Little Billie B is Brady's little biatch.

Yeah, but aren’t we too stupid for upgrades?

 

[Praxit]

..amen, bro. I guess his blazing one qtr pre-season performance paved the way.
