What Is Belichick Without Brady?

   Bill Belichick has recently agreed to coach at the University of North Coralina. Many are happy to see Bill calling the shots for a team again, others think he is above the job. A recurring discussion is if whether or not Belichick is the hall of fame coach as his resume implies or is he a product of the greatest player of all time.

    Bill started his coaching carrier as an assistant coach for the Baltimore Colts in 1975. Bill would bounce around teams for the next ten years as an assistant coach or a position coach until 1985 when he became the defensive coordinator for the Giants. In that time, he coached the greatest linebacker of all time, Lawrnce Taylor, He would also win two Superbowls with the team. After his time with the Giants was over, he would take his first head coach position with the Cleveland Browns. He coached for the Browns for 4 years, accumulating a 36-44 record in his time in Cleveland.

   Everyone knows about Belichick’s time with the Patriots and Tom Brady, but what was it like before and after? Bill’s record with Brady at the helm is 249-75 (.769) and without is 83-101 (.449). The record does appear to show that Brady greatly increased the amount of games Belichick was winning, but are the losses after the Brady era really his fault? So far in the Patriots first season without Belichick, the Patriots have put out a 3-11 record. Is it possible the Patriots downfall was out of Belichick’s power to prevent?

    Belichick’s time in UNC will put his coaching skills to the test and see if he can find success without the future hall of famer.

Why Cam Ward Should Be Your First Overall Pick

Image
      With the Raiders now obtaining the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, after falling to 2-11 after this week's game against the Buccaneers; many people see Shedeur Sanders as the consensus first overall pick. Afterall the Colorado QB is capping off an incredible season and career with the Buffs. Finishing this last season with 3,296 passing yards, 35 touchdowns through the air, and 8 interceptions.  The problem with many people's draft boards is they forget about the quarterback out east who had 127 more passing yards, less interceptions and the highest QBR in the nation. Cam Ward is the most complete quarterback in this year's draft; he has an almost ideal frame at 6'2 and 225 LBS and is easily the best dual-threat quarterback in recent years, he possesses one of the best deep ball throwing capabilities, is the most accurate QB with an 88 QBR, and has an unmatched pocket presence.     The Miami quarterback will be headed to New York this w...
