Why is it dumb? Check out BB's record without Tom Brady.

I'll give you a hint: without Tom Brady, Mike McCarthy has a better winning percentage than BB
And what did Landry do when White was gone and he had garbage at QB?
How well did Shula do when his QB was not good?
So they were bums as well?

What did Landry and Shula do without decent QBs?
This argument is so dumb
Each of them put a system in place and maintained it for how many years but you claim they were bums all the time?
I'm old enough to remember Belichick's Browns teams in the 1990's. They had a good defense because that's his specialty but they were never consistent winners. That's why he got fired there.

And I don't think it's coincidence that the Patriots are what now, 29-37 since Brady left. Not saying it's all on Belichick but it's possible Brady carried him and the game has passed him by.

I hate to say it but the game passed Landry by. He was running the Flex defense he designed in the early 1960's into the late 1980's. He was a football genius, but he was the last to see his schemes were outdated and the NFL caught up to him.

We might be seeing the same with Belichick.

Maybe the game has passed him by; it happens to everyone
BUT I ask YOU this question?
In 2001 Tom Brady was a bus driver.
So I guess that means that SB was a fluke?
Does Tom Brady decide the roster
Does Tom Brady do the draft?
Does Tom Brady do the FA?
Does Tom Brady hire the coaching staff?
Anyone thinking it was even mostly brady for twenty years is a football moron

Now I can agree there; BB might just be burned out. Though to be fair to Landy with that idiot Bum Bright as the owner he cut budgets for both the staff and scouting.
The Flex was a very difficult defense to learn and get players for. It might have been dated certainly but it was critical to get exactly the right player for each position

I would rather see cowboys moved to NFC south. I always wondered why we the divisions are geographically based. It would make more rivalries and it would cut down on travel time 8 games a year.

I know the die hards would never entertain it. Losing the 3 rivals we have so much history with but I think it would be better for the game.

NFC South
Dallas
Houston
New Orleans
Phoenix
Expansion San Antonio Team
I dont see any chance Jerry would sign off on this.

One very obvious immediate change would be the Giants changing kicker!

Less obvious one is them dumping Danny Dimes this offseason. To be honest Tyrod Taylor has looked better!

Maybe but some horrendous drafts over his last 10 years left a roster bereft of talent at the end.

What joke tweet….”potential move”….doesn’t even mean it’s guaranteed to happen and pure speculation, speculation on what? Who knows because there’s no substance to it. Just garbage “reporting”. You can never be wrong if you just throw out unsubstantiated “potential” moves.

Great gig.
