      C'mon. Are you really that gullible? It's a bye week, the Patriots are favored to win it all again, they are playing well. Where's the story? I know, let's create some drama with speculative article about the Hall of Fame coach wanting out....

      A little too convenient it appears at this point in time....

          The ultimate arbiter should be this: Would McDaniels have said that to backup, Bryan Hoyer?

          If so, then Brady shouldn’t have had a problem.
          Every (Well, at least the ones interviewed on record) coach has said that there is a pecking order in disciplining, coaching, etc. when it comes to players and that some players are treated differently, comparing a life long backup to one of the best ever is silly, no coach would ever treat Hoyer and Brady identically, you may think it unfair, wrong, or even stupid but it's a fact. There is no universe in which all athletes are treated equally by coaching staffs, McDaniel was wrong, IMO, not that it matters one way or the other, it's just my opinion of the event and based on the minimal amount of information available about the event.

            Maybe.. but I think the Jimmy G trade is a big deal if Brady pushed Kraft to do it against Billicheats wishes.

              Is it speculative?

              Let’s look at some of the key points:

              1) Tom Brady’s trainer and business partner, Guerrero, being given access to the Pats** facilities and then having that access revoked. This is not the first time I’ve read this. Others have reported the same thing.

              2) Belichick trading Garoppolo. I hadn’t been able to come up with a logical reason that he would suddenly decide to trade Jimmy G for a second when he could have gotten a first just a few months prior. Nor could anyone else at the time. Again, not the first time I’ve read something like this.

              Now, does it mean anything for this year? Probably not. Belichick is too focused and singular to allow the team to be derailed this postseason. But, if Kraft did involve himself in football decisions to protect Brady, it would not surprise me a bit if Belichick wanted out...

                Fair enough.

                I’m just saying that if Brady didn’t want his mistake corrected, then he shouldn’t have made it in the first place.

                    Yeah. Cause no one ever makes mistakes in sports.

                    Do you think our WR coach tells AB he should have caught an easy pass when he drops one? That’s just foolish.

                      And, no one plays a perfect game every time out, including Brady, he will make mistakes, hopefully, he'll a boat load of them should the Steelers have to travel to Foxboro in a couple weeks.

                        And, hopefully, McDaniels corrects him every time, turning Brady into an ineffective pile of impotent rage...

                            You don’t?

                            Are these players too good to be coached? Why even bother with coaches?

                              Pointing out the painfully obvious doesn’t really qualify as coaching IMO.

                                Agreed.

                                Doesn't really excuse the hissy fit that Brady threw, but was an unnecessary move on McDaniels' part.
