false...yet he never knew what he had in Tom Brady until the deck was stacked against him. Oh well...to be lucky I guess.
false
belichick liked brady over bledsoe, but bledsoe had just signed the largest deal ever for a QB.
he was forced to play him, and when he got hurt, it worked out.
thanks mo!
hiFact.
Not buying that narrative one bit.
Billy Belly wasn't 'forced' to do anything except put in Brady when Bledsoe got hurt, and 'liked' Brady more since Belly's record as a Patriots HC flipped after the Mo Lewis hit.
Belly lucked out on Brady and little more.
hi

"There was speculation that Belichick wanted to start him over Bledsoe from the outset of camp"

pull up your pantsHi
I'm a Niners fan. I don't care much about the Pats, nor do I care about 'speculation.' (especially after the fact)
I do care about facts and logic.
Billy Belly was 5-11 in 2000, and seemingly heading that way in 2001, starting out 0-2 - assuming he wouldn't be fired.
Billy Belly wasn't forced on anything, and was instrumental in getting the Bledsoe deal done.
Billy Belly was looking for a backup to Bledsoe, and quarterbacks coach Dick Rehbein recommended Brady, whom they grabbed in the 6th round.
Billy Belly gets lucky that fortunes turned around on a dime with the Lewis hit that knocks out Bledsoe. That's when he is 'forced' to do something - put in the backup QB.
Fact is, the Pats got quite lucky.
Bye
revis told him in camp last year that he has "it".
no, not aids.
...yet he never knew what he had in Tom Brady until the deck was stacked against him. Oh well...to be lucky I guess.
no way, the guy on the other coast who doesnt follow the team is the pats expert. not me...the guy who, i dunno...lives near the stadium and has followed the team closely since i was able to read and suffered thru the rod rusts, chris singletons, and eugene chungs.Uhmm...Brady's rookie year is the only time the Pats kept 4 QB's.
BB knew something.

log off. youre done for the day.So....Belly kept a guy that was scouted by another specifically for the backup role? Belly knew when the rest of the world knew....when they started winning.
