Belichick Accused of Making Ted Johnson Play With Concussion
 

It will be interesting to see how much this guy sues the team for because we know that where this is going. I just have a hard time believing that Belichick would force a guy to play after the Teams trainer said not to. If he did I'm sure we will hear from other former Pat players as this unfolds. If he is successful in sueing it could really change how teams do things.

One more reason to despise Belichick.

Man, the more I read about Belichick, the more of an ass he is.

His daughter applied for an internship with me. I wonder if we'll select her this spring. That'd be interesting

Anyhow, as I understand BB said he made a mistake and apologized about it. Of course, that may be too little too late

And while I think he's probably a great coach, I still wonder where he would be without Tom Brady. A guy in Joe Montana or Steve Young's class can make a coach (even a good one) look good.

At this point, rumor, innuendo, and hearsay does not equal fact

I can’t agree more. If you ask me he’s overrated. I can’t wait to see what kind of coach he is with out his wonder boy QB Brady.
He sure didn’t help Cleveland much. But then again who has?

The genius who sold them to Baltimore. ;)

Basically, who can you not make that claim about. Take all the great players on a particular team and they all suck. He should also get some credit (if not all) for having and developing Brady.
take away Montana, Dwight Clark, Roger Craig, etc, Bill Walsh is ??????????? who?

I didn't suggest that you should "take away" Brady, Seymour, Wilfork, Bruschi, Vrabel, and all of the Pats' stars and see how good Belichick would look. I suggested that Belichick might not look nearly as good without Brady.

One of the principal reasons why Joe Gibbs is special, at least in my mind, is that he won the Super Bowl 3 times with 3 different QBs. That accomplishment should not be underestimated. I highly doubt Belichick could have won 3 super bowls without Brady.

Re: Belichick Accused of Making Ted Johnson Play With Concussion
 

I know really. Give a coach Mark Rypien, or Timmy Smith and let's see if that guy can win anything....oh wait.

And 3 different RBs and 3 different kickers and I think 3 different punters as well.

At least he didn't make him play with a cussion.

Yes I agree that what gibbs did was tough but he also had a line which made the QB look better.
