Stephen wants to be like Belichick and always be decent that way you're always relevant

[Nation]

Yeah, Pats having the smartest coach in the NFL and an elite QB has lead them to where they are today. We don't have either unfortunately.

Unless you only think there are two "elite" QBs in the league (which I have no problem with) then I don't see how anyone can argue Dallas doesn't have an elite QB

Energy wasted posting that.. ufcrules is not a Romo fan. He doesn't think he's elite. He thinks Romo is the root of all evil. (I kid). Either way, I wouldn't even bother debating the point with him...and that's not a knock on him. It's just that him and a few others are not going to change their mind about Romo, no matter the argument.

He does hate Romo and does blame him for every single Cowboy loss since 2006. The Romo haters are pretty much so far out there that there is no point in sugar coating what they are. Sometimes its best to be blunt about these kinds of things instead of trying to make nice about it

I think Stephen wants to be like bellIicheck and always be decent that way in a lucky year you can win. Maximum plays at the tourney. Rather than gearing up for one run.
The pats keep pushing picks back and could've used them on say a Julio jones or a von miller but like I said I believe their philosophy to be that there's more randomness in football than people think and you should just keep punching your ticket.


The cap is gonna go up and we'll shake off these cap problems pretty quick and then well have comp picks then we're ahead of the game.

That's why I wouldn't be shocked if we go like: 1DT 2LB 3Qb 4S 5RB

I wouldn't be against that draft, though I would swap S and LB. I like our LB core.

She is right. I have never thought Romo was elite. Romo couldn't do what Brady has done in NE IMO. Anyway, my earlier post was not to bash Romo, I really do believe NE has and elite coach and QB and that is what has let to 4 super bowls during Brady's career.

Brady is arguably the best quarterback of all time, so I'm just trying to figure how many quarterbacks you think currently fit the "elite" group. I think you're not a "hater" or anything like that if you consider that group to only include Rodgers and Brady, but if it is any more encompassing than that in terms of today's quarterbacks than it isn't really an argument that works anymore.

With the fourth win, I think Brady is unquestionably the GOAT.

 

[tyke1doe]

Right. And I thought it was a mistake to not p after the huge wr prospects as Brady was aground but I believe this was their thinking the whole time as I previously outlined. Because they kept drafting qb's over the years which seemingly was a waste right how but was an investment. Like buying insurance so you can fix your car so you don't miss work in the event of an accident. They may not have been able to trade the qb's but they did evaluate them in case of injury or Brady Ageing.

Basically if you have a top qb he will always carry you to or near the playoffs if you're halfway decent team around him. so you want to keep from having to ever totally rebuild .

Forgive any typos English is not my first language

I like the honesty in your post. Just out of curiosity, what is your first language?

The question is - what has this man done to his father? I suspect some kind of dirty/foul play. Jerry wouldn't just hand over the power.

Romo isn't elite? Damn close if not.

 

[Longboysfan]

If you have a QB, especially one of the best all time, you'll be competitive every year.


The NFL is all about Head Coach and QB.


Dallas has to take the long way because we have a QB but we have a head coach that provides nothing on Sunday so almost our entire roster has to be elite.

Oh.. Like Barry Switzer?

 

[CATCH17]

Oh.. Like Barry Switzer?

They are both about as effective as one another on Sunday's.

 

[casmith07]

Pats have Brady.

Simple

And the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins for 6 wins a year.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

The Cowboys are always relevant.

preach!

Tony is elite.

Where are the 2 biggest Pats homers? They'll be here soon I'm sure.

All teams want to be like that. Some know how and some don't.

Great post.

...or what Schramm and Brant pioneered when Belichick was in grade school. To my suprise, Jerry may be allowing - the model that made the Cowboys great to begin with.

And to all the resident Hatriots, you love what Stephen is doing now, profess to admire Landry while despising a coach that is the greatest of our era because he has copied so much from Landry - weighs far more in his success than videos and possibly deflated footballs. And check my updated sig and try to dodge The Dodger.

kind of like how the 49ers used to be relevant because of this and get home field advantage in the playoffs every year. It was idiotic for us to stay in the NFC East when the divisions were re-aligned. We could've been playing AZ, NO, and StL twice a year for the next two decades. That doesn't sound terribly easy right now but all of those teams have historic trends of eventually returning to the toilet, unlike Philly and NYG. All it takes is an easy division to get home field and then some luck....see Indy's run, Pitt's run 2x, NE every year....

I don't think it was stupid. We have play in, historically, the most successful, most tradition rich Division in the NFL. We also play against teams, twice a year, who are located in the largest markets in America. That translates into ratings, which helps the League, which puts more money into Jerry's pocket. I get what you are saying and I see the logic to your statement but at the end of the day, this is a business.

 

[theogt]

Decent? The Patriots are probably the greatest dynasty in the history of the league, considering this is the salary cap and free agency era.

I think the point, while overstated perhaps, is that because of the salary cap and free agency, consistently being a decent team every year goes a long way.

Outside of Brady, the Patriots haven't had a lot of elite players. Never an elite running back, never an elite receiver (though they now have an elite TE after drafting a new one virtually every year for the past decade), never really elite players on defense. Just consistently above average players around an elite QB.
