My thoughts on these decisions 10. Yeah 9. Definitely a huge mistake 8. Not good. 7. Bad. 6. Eh. 5. Okay. 4. Who? Oh that guy. 3. Decent gamble. 2. He was okay. 1. He was very underused.
J Turner the Patriots like to get Bengals players who were stars in Cincinnati but then go to New England and suck is Marvin Lewis better than Bill Bellicheck
Bill Mitchell it’s not like he was gonna start over Brady. Plus they were purposely trying to get money or a pick out of him. They did the same with mallet too
Tijuana SIX Tijuana SIX Ryan was traded for little to nothing and when Tom Brady was still in his mid 30s. Now they trade Jimmy who was fairly picked in the 2nd round and shown some signs of being a promising QB while Tom Brady is just turning right around his 40s. However , I like seeing the 49ers being interesting again anyways.
Digital Boi Why are pats fans so obsessed with 28-3 more than just enjoying their win? You sound like Trump, you won months ago but still talk about the other opponent constantly. Stfu with this old corny joke, it's been super over done. You sound lame as fuck beating a dead horse.
Digital Boi That makes you even more lame. Real pats fans are saying my team are champions, Brady is great, we got cooks and could win again, they aren't acting likes kids saying 28-3, that's some high school troll shit. Especially if you not even a pats fan.
Kryptic Yeah, end of the day we lost in the super bowl to the patriots like many teams have, the pats blew a perfect season to Giants when they had Randy moss. And those memes got old fast too. Couple weeks, I get it haha 28-3, but months later it's pathetic.
Jimmy pissed away the sb with a loaded team Brady went to two more sbs with the pats and won one, just winning another one with the buccs Bigger mistake was not signing the goat long term
It's crazy how trading a 5th round pick for a player is considered a bad move it just proves how great belicheck is because it happens all the time to other teams
Belichick's M.O. is building championship teams via below-average talent. Belichick won 5 super bowls after turning a 199th overall pick, who was just average in college and had a bad NFL combine, into a multi-time Super Bowl MVP and supporting that QB with a top 10 (usually top 5) defense almost every year of his career. Both sides of the ball are are comprised of mostly late-round and undrafted guys, who are put in positions to succeed. It's absolutely incredible. Doesn't matter if Belichick made 50 bad moves as Patriots GM; the means justify the ends. He rarely paid guys cause he knows he can win with anyone. He architected 2 Super Bowls for the Giants in late 80s and even won the freakin Cleveland Browns a playoff game, before the team quit after the move to Baltimore was announced. Parcells never went to a Super Bowl without Belichick as a coordinator or Asst HC. Amazing what BB has accomplished.
These half assed videos are terrible. Getting rid of Ty Law for cap reasons, but the narrator says it's took several years to replace him. Asante Samuel had 10 interceptions in 2006. That's one year without elite cornerback play. And signing Adalius Thomas was not a bad move. Coming off of an All-Pro season, he had a damn good season in 2007, then kind of tapered off the next two seasons. Hard to put that a bad move. Hell most of this list is just minor moves that all teams make.
Jim Jim how can someone come back from 1-3. the cavs were lucky that draymond got suspended. so what drug makes u think they would be able to do t again. AND THIS IS COMING FROM A CAVS FAN
He didn't make it to the roster so his salary wasn't guaranteed. Not bad at all considering that BB actually thought that he can turn Tebow into a pocket QB.
Butch Jones How was it bad he was gonna see if he could use him on some trick plays he didn’t cost the patriots anything. Belichick is the best to ever do it by far he takes garbage from other teams practice squads and turns them into all stars the pats go to the super bowl with half the team consisting of no bodies it wasn’t a bad move at all
I suggest the 10 hardest hitting safety tandems. It would require the FS and SS to be on the same team at the same time and make receivers afraid to catch and running backs to fear the run. One example would be Tyrone Braxton and Steve Atwater of the Broncos.
Johnny Annan all out blitz in the first giants SB, well technically our DC called it. Rodney Harrison knew the play and told Seau to change it, he didn't, and they scored
Patriot1Fan247 im not talking about that. Im taking about the 4 and 2 play in Indy or in Super Bowl 42 when their went for on 4th and 2 in the 3rd quarter instead of kicking a Gostkowski 49 field goal. And if their kick the field the score will be 17-10. Then if the Giants score it will be 17-17 . Then i think Brady would gone for short pass and get in field goal range instead of throwing uncompleted bombs to Moss.
It's funny how everyone praises Belechick for drafting Brady... That was a FUCKING ACCIDENT!! He was drafted to back up Bledsoe!! Bledsoe was the guy and they struck gold BY ACCIDENT!! Smh
How the fuck my hometeam the Patriots were ever 18-0 with Laurence Maroney as the starting RB, Hobbs and Merriweather in the secondary, a bunch of old soon to be retired players on defense like Seau, Bruschi, Vrabel and Harrison is mind blowing in retrospect. Fact was Moss took the offense to an insane level and was a band-aid for a lot of that teams weaknesses. The Colts, Ravens, Eagles, Jaguars, Chargers and Giants twice all gave the Patriots a hard time. Well, anyways... Super Bowl 36, 38, 39, 49 and 51!
Super Bowl 36, 38, 39, 49 and 51 Champions!... but hold on to Super Bowl 42 for as long as you need to! Remember the Colts *should've beat the Patriots in Super Bowl 41.5 is no different than me saying the Patriots *should've beat the Giants in Super Bowl 42. *Should've beat isn't *did beat!
+Matthew Morgan Although they did have a #1 defense last year, I was sad to see Chandler Jones go. Maybe being in Julian Edelman's videos were bad luck: both he and Shane Vereen were traded after they were in his videos.
Matthew Morgan Dude,what was the thinking behind that move ,Jones is and has been a fucking monster, 17 sacks, 25 tackles for loss(17).Hes the Defensive MVP in my opinion.By far his stupidest move.
Chandler Jones would probably ask for a big raise after his contract was up, and BB likes to build his teams without primadonnas. Look how he dismissed Jamie Collins and sent him to the Browns. Btw, where is he now?
My takes on these as an extremely biased Patriots fan 10- Can't blame him for trying it 9- Ty Law is my second favorite Patriot of all time so I wished he stayed 8- For a third round pick I don't think it was as bad as it could have been 7- I don't even know who this guy is 6- sigh.... yeah.... 5- Garbage 4- I don't know who this guy is either 3- Another good gamble that didn't go right 2- I didn't think Maroney was that bad tbh he was pretty decent. Not a first rounder but could've been worse 1- It still baffles me to this day that Ochocinco flopped that badly with Brady at QB
ELUSS1287 I don't think it has to be viewed that negatively. I don't think they're trying to "talk shit" about the Pats with this video. The Pats are the model organization in the NFL, so people pay much more attention to them than the average team. The only reason this topic exists is because Belichick is so successful as a GM that his failures are few and far between. Consider it a compliment. Most people wouldn't really find it that interesting to watch a video about any other NFL GM's worst moves.
Crayon In My Ear They had to. If not for practical on-the-field reasons, then for political reasons. No franchise or league wants that kind of thing, so his employment wasn't ever going to survive anyhow.
I'm a GIANTS fan, one of the biggest rivals with the Patriots and I don't think trading a5th and 6th round draft pick for Chad Johnson who could have been great on the pats is so bad.
Aiden Kenneth in Belichicks defense he did cut Lawyer Milloy and get away with it. the pats defense didnt skip a beat and lawyer was arguably our best defensive player at the time (ik he replaced him with a really good rodney harrison) but why wouldnt belichick think he couldnt release Law and get away with it? it was a bad move imo but everyone makes bad moves.
Releasing Ty Law in 2005 was not a bad move. Law only played the 1st half of the 2004 season before a broken foot ended his season. He had a couple good years in NY and KC, but not elite level years. Asante Samuel in 2006 and 2007 was an elite CB
10. Yeah, O'Neal was done. 9. I disagree, Belichick's M.O. is getting rid of a guy a year early than a year late. It sucked losing Ty Law but Belichick knew his days as a top number 1 corner were over. Sure he had a good 2005 but that was it really. 8. Ugh, this should be in the top 3. Starks admitted he wasn't a physical player and Brian Cox asked him what he was doing in the league. He totally didn't fit in Belichick's style. 7. Bodden wasn't the worst and he had a good 2009. The real mistake was signing him to the 4 year extension. 6. Haynesworth was low risk, they traded a future 5th in 13 to get him in 2011 so it wasn't like they gave up the farm for him. 5. The Easley draft isn't going to kill them for a few years but man oh man was that a mistake. Look at the defensive lineman selected after him, any one of them would have made more of an impact. 4. Oh yeah, HUGE mistake considering they could have had Greg Jennings. Still, the incompetence of Jackson pretty much led to Belichick going after Moss and Welker. 3. This should be number 1. It was the anti-thesis of the team building approach Belichick put together to begin with. The 08 and 09 Pats with Thomas lost 11 regular season games, to this day that's the most in back to back seasons of the Brady/Belichick era. 2. Disagree. Maroney was good in 2006 and great in 2007, especially down the stretch when weather got bad. This and Easley should switch spots. 1. Disagree, Ocho-Stinko was harmless. He wasn't really going to be a factor with Welker, Branch, Gronk and Hernandez anyway. Also it wasn't the offense that cost them Superbowl 46. Swap this with the Thomas signing.
This is important to remember when people say Brady wouldn't be successful without the hoodie. Most of Bill's worst moves were on the defensive side of the ball. Brady has only had 2 elite passing target's to throw to and they came in different eras. He was forced to deal with average WRs that needed the right system to be successful minus a run game that could be a threat vs top defenses. Bill is the GOAT as a coach, but he's had a lot of time to play around, experiment with projects and take huge risk because of Brady. It took more than 7 years for Bill to put together a defense that can compete with the 2003 Pats defense that was pretty much put together by Bill Parcells and Pete Carroll. Bill had a lot of misses on that defensive side of the ball from 2008-2013. Yes, he made some great moves getting Mayo, Hightower, Collins and Chandler Jones. It's seems like picking players in the front 7 is his speciality. I won't hold Easley against him. He had potential if he would've stayed healthy. But as far as picking DBs, McCourty was really his only great move. Cyrus Jones was another great pick, hopefully he could improve. That 2008-2013 era was really the rebuilding period that went unnoticed because Brady was still taking those teams deep into to the playoffs. He should've been aggressively trading picks for proven players years ago, maybe NE would have more rings. The last 3 years have definitely made his title as a GM look better after a down period. He's definitely the greatest coach of all time, but I think Brady deserves credit for allowing him to take chances on players that others wouldn't
You missed the Real #1 bad move. Belichick trading away Logan Mankins to Tampa for Tim Wright and a 4th round pick. That trade cost them a Super Bowl trip in 2016, since Mankins was a huge part of the offensive line that ended up struggling against top pass rushes like Denver's.
I never thought Maroney was that bad because the entire time he was there he was splitting carries with guys like Kevin Faulk and Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Adailius wasn't that bad of a trade. His services was great while it lasted. I wish Ocho contributed more with us. By far one of my favorite receivers.
The next video can you do the 10 worst moves by Mike Tomlin as the Steelers head coach plz!!!! If you can't come up with anything i literally can make you guys a list!
