BRADY VERSUS BELICHICK

I always wanted to see how Phil Jackson would fare coaching a team from scratch. Phil Jackson coached those six Chicago Bulls championships during the Michael Jordan years. Then Phil Jackson went on to L.A. For the Lakers he had Kobe Bryant and big man Shaquille O’Neal. Before the Death Star was fully functional, Bill Belichick’s first head coaching job was in Cleveland. Did Belichick get fired too soon? Sounds Cleveland Brown like. Belichick moved on and went to New England. The start of the Evil Empire. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick wrecked havoc on the league for 20 seasons. The Patriots won six Superbowl titles. Seventeen division titles. All good things must come to an end if you’re a Patriot fan. The rest of the galaxy is celebrating and hoping it will be true.

Tom Brady is moving on to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Bill Belichick aka the Mastermind needs to find another quarterback.

The writing on the wall between these two egos of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick has been going on quite some time now. Signs of Tom Brady leaving this off season was him selling his house. Plus Tom Brady’s trainer selling his house. I figured the trainer lived in Brady’s pool house. Like Kato Kaelin living in OJ Simpson’s pool house. Tom Brady, being a California kid, rumors had him signing with a team from the west coast. Bruce Arians, head coach of the Buccaneers, was able to land and win the Brady sweepstakes and the Buccaneers are giving Brady a boatload of money and a two year deal. Buccaneers have plenty of weapons surrounding Tom Brady, which he lacked last year with the Patriots. Brady expressed those issues last season and stat-wise it was not a great year behind center for a guy that has 219 wins as a starting quarterback.

I think Bill Belichick wanted to do away with Tom Brady years ago. I think Jimmy Garoppolo was going to be Tom Brady’s replacement at one point.  Owner Robert Kraft, inbetween massage parlors and whore houses, probably nixed any of Wild Bill’s crazy ideas at the time. Patriots ended up trading Jimmy Garoppolo to the 49ers. As we all know San Francisco and Jimmy Garoppolo made it to the Superbowl and came away with a loss. Patriots also got rid of Jacoby Brissett who was the starter for the Colts last season. Now the Patriots will have to find someone to take Tom Brady’s place. Will the Patriots take a step back and reload? Perhaps draft a guy and develop their new Darkside Jedi Knight? Could Bill Belichick wheel and deal and take an option out in the free market or make some kind of trade and bring like an Andy Dalton from the Bengals?

I hope the Patriots fall flat on their faces. I hope Tom Brady, like other greats that played their last years on another team after leaving the only place they played, falls flat on his face as well. People will talk about all year about which one will have more success without each other. Will it be Tom Brady or Bill Belichick?  Could the Patriots meet the Buccaneers in the Superbowl? This would be a great story if both Belichick and Brady, opposite each other, met up in the biggest stage of them all. Could you picture Belichick coming up with a plan to dissect Tampa Bay’s high octane offense? Plus an offensive guru like Bruce Arians going up against a defensive minded Bill Belichick. Let’s also throw that Tampa Bay is home of the Superbowl next season. I can see Tom Brady being the first to get his team to make it to the grand stage being played at their homefield. What if the Patriots picked up Jameis Winston? What if Josh Daniels, the offensive coordinator, could fix Jameis Winston? Winston passed for 5,109 yards with 31 touchdown strikes. Winston also threw 30 Interceptions of which seven were returned for touchdowns. Winston made history with that 30-30 achievement, the first ever all-time to do that in the NFL. Bill Belichick does get the best out of bad citizens like what Jameis Winston is. Then you add that Jameis Winston playing in Superbowl versus the team that drafted him and cut him loose.  Plus Head Coach Bruce Arians has seen enough of Jameis Winston after just one year together. This kind of Superbowl scenario would be all the soap operas mixed into one big episode. Tom Brady could play Dr. Drake Ramoray.

If Belichick versus Brady does come into play at any time, it would be a version of Alien versus Predator.

Of course the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New England might not face each other in the next two seasons. How long will Tom Brady be able to play in the NFL? After two seasons in Tampa Brady, Brady may be done and retire. Knowing the way Tom Brady’s mind works, he wants to last longer than Drew Brees. First man down, the other would have most of the NFL records all-time. In New England is the Patriots roster just in  need of a quarterback inserted in like a light bulb? Patriots have lost some players in free agency this year once again. The offense last season lacked weapons. Seems like the Patriots were in on some of those big receiver trades that occurred as Texans dealt DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals. Then the Vikings dealt Stefon Diggs to the Bills. The Patriots ended up not getting either or. If the Patriots take a step back and reload or rebuild, it might take a few seasons to get another death star to be fully functional. Tom Brady may be out of the league at that time. It may be hard to determine which one would be better without the other when it comes to Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.   Maybe the best case scenario,  they both fall on hard times and lead the league with a whimper instead of a bang. Which would make many people throughout the galaxy think of it as PRICELESS!!!
