The NFL has developed technology that allows them to use magnetic forces and directed microbursts of wind to direct the ball where they want it to go. The magnetic field was created by a jet that was using a cloaking device flying over the Sewerdome. The NFL has been using leather impregnated with slivers of steel for years.... everyone knows this.

Posted January 24 2 minutes ago, Falconsin2012 said: Yep. And Belichick builds a team instead of accumulating talent. Values dependability over your time in the 40. And where he really wins is by meeting tenders to sign RSA, which almost nobody does....they had almost no picks in 2017 but got 3 starters by giving up those picks to get restricted free agents. And he uses the inherent value of trading for a player. The signing bonus stays with the team he signed with, so NE only onherits the base salary.

With Brees at 40 does it even make sense to add more vertical threats. Brady just showed you don’t need it if your football IQ is elite. He was not very good throwing deep vs KC...but he was lethal throwing wide and using Edelman in the seams at 10-15 yards. Vandy likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brees definitely has the IQ, but they still need a vertical threat, saints offense was pedestrian 2nd half of season. It’s more Belichick than Brady, I think.

Lol.....don't you know the cap doesn't apply to the Saints...every year we ask...."how did they get that guy".…and by trading for him...they would just have to pay his base salary...his personality fits that team....and I feel like they will try to make a splash move... Going to wash my mouth out now...lol Vandy and ya_boi_j like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don’t tell FFS1970, but he rarely goes BPA. Where Belichick really wins is 2 areas: First by meeting tenders to sign RSA, which almost nobody does....they had almost no picks in 2017 but got 3 starters by giving up those picks to get restricted free agents. And second he uses the inherent benefit of trading for a player. The signing bonus stays with the team he signed with, so NE only inherits the base salary and let’s the other team assume the rest. Clever Great post. Team and buy-in more than talent. Falconsin2012 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Sean payton’s No Belichick. On the last part, no doubt. SP is a great football coach. Both he and Belichick have ego & pride. All great athletes do. What separates Belichick is his willingness to evolve. To admit his scheme isn’t always right...changing from 3-4 to 4-3 was one such move. Just doesn’t put all his eggs into one basket...or something like that But you know all this....I’m rambling tonight, Vandy Edited January 24 by Falconsin2012 Vandy likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great players who he unfortunately could no longer justify the price tag on. People say he doesn’t care, but he cried when releasing VW. When everyone places a premium on vertical threats, Bill passes due to cost. Figures there must be value in the slot. So he gets Hogan for 3 years $12 million and Rex Burkhart for 3 years 9 mill.
