Bill is ice cold. This is why I don't blame players for doing what it takes to secure the money. They put their bodies and future sanity on the line and yet an organization will drop them in an instant if need be.

He a cold m'fer but on the real I admire Bill more than I do any other coach in sports history honestly. I have a deep respect for people in any walk of life that comes to grips with themselves that they will never be liked while they're here. And not even from the angle of being on edge about it and trying to prove people wrong, but moreso just internalizing it and keeping it moving anyways.

Everybody can't be the doctor that prescribes u the pink medicine, somebody gotta be the one that gives u that nasty ass cherry flavored one with no regards to public affection.

I respect that inner peace

Bill has been right about moving off a player early probably 80% of the time.

This year, I dunno they have so many more needs than just getting Edelman back. SLOW ASS LINEBACKERS, below average secondary...

But they have gone to Super Bowls looking like that so who Fukien knows anymore.

Knowing people like Belly will move on from any player at any time is why I fukk with Gronk saying no, or Bell holding out. Do what you think is best for you whenever you have the opportunity to do it.

Sentimentality doesn't get you anywhere in sport, you can do that once you've retired.

Teams genuinely have a small window of 3-5 years to achieve success in, some cases it's only a year and are one and done, but the teams that sustain that form for longer, are the ones who know when to cycle out players to continue the success.

While Sport is ever evolving, the next generation athletes are better than the last, science is more advanced than it was 5 years earlier . One of the worst things that teams do, is not evolve and we've all seen this from our various teams in the sporting world, is hold on to some players for too long. One of the main things that ruins decent to good teams is complacency. Whether it's finally reaching that lifetime achievement and that's it for some, childhood dreams becoming a reality and they've peaked mentally. Or that people have become too comfortable in their sporting life and reflects in performance and one of the only ways stop this setting in is often move fan/team favourites on, whether it's time to freshen things up or age/wear and tear has impact on performance.

Isn't the point of running a team to try to get assets that can help you win. How is Beli a bad guy for this?
Ya'll go crazy every trade deadline so don't act like it's an injustice when a guy gets traded or ppssibly traded.

fukkin Belichick .. Brady becoming the goat done really made this nikka career

That man was an absolute BUM of a head coach for 6 years before Brady and all of a sudden he became a genius. It's disgusting how much credit he gets.

And most of the credit is based off one year where Matt Cassell took over the most explosive offense in the history of football and STILL managed to miss the playoffs. And then people wanna make Cassell out to be a bum, but he took the Chiefs to the playoffs two years later? HOW, if he soooo sorry?
