Imagine what his record would have been if he had taped his opponents practices.
oh, waaaaah! taping was not illegal, but the positioning of the cameras was in dispute, you'd have to agree that is below rape by most standards. Cost Billy like half a mil and the team a FIRST ROUND pick. Oh, and one name...Mangini, who had a personal vendetta! No one else said a word cuz they were doing it too. I'd say the Pats have outperformed the Jets in the decade or so since then
Don't believe I have ever heard any expert from the league nor cbid point out a single play that the Pats gained an edge on though.
He may never develop a great QB but then again few do
I did say great and should not have gone that far, you are correct. But many teams have won the big one with less than the best, Flacco is pretty good, not great, Brady before he was great (but great coaching adjustments...get it? totally changed offensive strategy in mid-stream after Bledsoe nearly died...thanks to the Jets), Ripien, Morton, the guy on Tampa etc...Ryan doesn't win with any of those QB's. Sanchez was considered big time when drafted, played well early and regressed consistently after (coaching?)
Name some offensive talent he let dry up cause I can't think of one although could be overlooking one somewhere.
He had "highly regarded" O-talent when he got them, guys considered to have big upsides, and did not help them blossom (coaching?), which may be why you can't recall them, which is my point. I'll add some who were established and he did not get max from too. I did have to look up a few but recall all of them.
backs, some still there:
Tomlinson, you say old, COACH wanted him to be the experienced vet winners seem to have around and find a way to get winning plays from but Rex failed to do so, and can you be washed up more than one season? Heck, he sat ALOT late in big games...coach's decision.
Shonn Greene
Bilal Powell
Leon Washington
Joe McKnight
Chris Ivory
Danny Woodhead did pretty well in Foxboro (coaching?)
ends:
Keller (I loved that guy)
Braylon Edwards
Brad Smith
Santonio Holmes
Plaxico...ok, not highly regarded
Derrick Mason...also brought in for a couple of years and never integrated very well (coaching?)
David Nelson
Stephen Hill
Kerley
Cotchery
Clowney
You must admit, some coach would have gotten at least SOME of that massive list to develop. Every coach has guys that don't develop and not all due to coaching, but that is a ton of guys that Rex could not win with despite probably the best line in the NFL!
He is the loudest man in the room cause he eats the blame for his team playing bad and hardly ever takes any credit when they win.
I'm sorry, who else should take the blame? His best finishes are considered lost opportunities in Foxboro.
I don't view him as a motivator to players with loud mouths to cover their insecurities he is more of a motivator to not quite as athletic NFL players that start on his team.
We will never agree on them not being quite as athletic. That's way wrong...see list above!
The guy has had an old Tomlinson, medicore at best Sanchez, and a supe bowl mvp Holmes as his best offensive players not much anyone could do with that no matter how good a line you have.
Again, see above.
Oh an division rivalries are supposed to be played like they are your super bowl thats why they are rivalries.
Love 'em! But winners understand those games are not close to the magnitude of the Super Bowl. Again, you are making my point about Rex and how he has been suckered in by Bill B.
I am not even a Jets fan and in fact find them very boring to even watch.
