why don’t MORE teams have a “system” like that?????

The other teams don’t cheat to get the first 3 SBs. They lost the 2 they didn’t cheat,in case you’d forgotten. Don’t hate the Pats, just stating facts.
3 SBs won by 3 points each, 2 SBs lost by 3 & 4 points. Sounds like cheating is worth about a TD a game.

They wouldn’t have done it for so many years before getting caught if it wasn’t worth something.

there is a reason he wasnt a star on the Dolphins. He knows that. This isnt Larry Fitzgerald. He is a solid talent but my guess is he gets the franchise tag for one year if he is looking for huge money. The Pats might be under the cap but I think everyone can agree the priority in the offseaosn is improving that defense

Then you say that Belichick is just an average coach lucky enough to have Brady and Welker.

lol.

Which one is it, idiots? Are they simply products of Belichicks “system”, or is he lucky to have these talented players?

Can’t be BOTH.

It’s more the system…but unfortunately for Belichick, the greatest accomplishments of his “system” are tainted by the Spygate scandal. Very good, but not great “system”…very good, but not great players. So, YES, it CAN be both.

Let’s see BB and his “system” win an untainted title…until then, he will continue to be branded as the cheater that he was punished for being. 0-2 post-Spygate…none of the regular season wins mean squat without a title to anchor them.

The Pats need a deep threat WR and while thats not Lloyd, if they do sign Lloyd, Welker could find himself more expendable if he’s asking too much.

Everyone else…get a clue. thats why your team will continue to suffer and the Pats will be contenders year in and out.

Plus how did the Pats do when they lost Brady opening day….umm 11-5 folks. Lets hear about how they “missed” the playoffs though!

Once again, competitive, because they know how to spend and NEVER overspend for value. They build a team with a very strong middle and lower class because of the injury rates.

How did the Colts do when Manning went down? Keep overpaying for a strong upperclass NFL. Surprised how teams still fail to see this concept!

In my opinion, when a WR fits this well into the team, they need to pay a little bit of a premium for him because it’s near impossible to find guys who work well with what’s expected of receivers in the Pats’ system. Hoping BB has learned form the Branch fiasco and letting Gaffney walk after a 1 year deal in 08 that those type of WRs do NOT grow on trees.

WW said when Samuel left that Samuel was chasing money instead of rings so I hope he feels the same now as he did then but I don’t EXPECT that.

“Pat fans crack me up . . . why have the loyalty for an organization that cannot win the big game, or pay their players.”

It is a fact that the Patriots pay their key players well. They just don’t sign wastefull contracts.

Circumstantial evidence, and statements by many of the players themselves, suggests most key Patriot players want to stay. The players that leave, by and large, had weaknesses that limited what the club was willing to pay. Is anyone doubting Assante Samuel, despite his exceptional ball skills, has issues with tackling?

I know it is psychologically comforting for fans of other franchises to speak ill of the Patriots but there is a reason why they win consistently, have gone to 5 Super Bowls in the last 11 years, and why their own players and players from other teams want to play for them. The same reason the oddsmakers make them a favorite to win Super Bowl 47.

“HUGE Welker fan. dont want to see him in any other uniform then a Pats uniform for the rest of his playing days”

No offense, but the idea that Edelman could replace Welker is delusional. Julian cannot get the seperation Welker gets consistently. Nor can he read defenses and adjustt routes in lockstep with Brady like Wes does virtually every play.

Welker wants to play with Brady and for the Patriots. The Patriots want that as well. This is business. It will get done, hopefullly with less acrimony than the Mankins deal. The problem is that the Patriots want to pay for future value and Wes, like all players, also wants to make up for what he didn’t get paid in past years. That makes agreeing on a contract tough.

Then you say that Belichick is just an average coach lucky enough to have Brady and Welker.

I am sure they will come to some sort of agreement, he has got some of the surest hands and fits well in the offense the Patriots have.

@bozothejetsfan

“cheapskate patriots ”

I think not chuckles. The Patriots are near the top in percent of cap money spent every year. Their philosophy does not focus on paying Brady, Welker and have the rest of the team consist of some guys who look good in uniform. They try to build a 53 man roster with depth, especially near the bottom. Therefore, they try not to overpay at the top.

How often in a key December game is it reserve v reserve? Come to think of it the NYG have a similar philosophy.

They have a chance to win a championship, and youre playing with one of the greatest QBs ever.

I would literally take half as much money to play with the Pats over someone like the Chiefs or Dolphins.

It would probably be a LTBE bonus…
