I believe a part of the story, but not the part where they are fighting as to who takes credit for what they have done over the past 15 years.
Think that part is stupid or something might have been said and they twisted into meaning that for headlines.
Like Brady could have said to Kraft, Hey what I've done for the team and helped put a few Super Bowl rings on your hand, You Owe me !
The part I believe is that Brady went to Kraft and said I want to continue to play for the next 2-3 years and Bill wants to bring JimmyG in for a part of next season
to groom him into my replacement. But I'm not ready to retire
There was a rumor going around when they made the trade to the 49ers that there was something wrong with it. Something smelled ...
It's not the Pats style to just get a 2nd rounder for Brady's possible replacement. unless of course Jimmy G was going backwards, somehow.
But as we have seen, that's just not the case.
It also left Brady as the only QB on the team at that time. But they did go out and pick up Hoyer
But if you are headed to the Playoffs ( and that was a Slam dunk ) would you rather have Brian Hoyer backing you up, or JimmyG, the one that knows the program
like the back of his hand ??
Think I would want the guy that's been there for the past 3 years
Funny how most the Pats fans around here didn't care that he was traded, and said he was just avg.
But I'll give credit to the ones that said Brady ain't going nowhere, because that's what happening here.
oh and I also believe the Belichick cutting off Brady's trainer from the team and games, etc was his Payback to Brady
My 2 cents
