This was not a normal 6th rounder. BB knew he was going to be good once he saw him in practice.

So BB knew Brady was that good all along but played Bledsoe instead....do you realize how stupid that sounds?

Bringing in Rivers was a desperate move that did nothing to move the needle for this team. We continue to find new and interesting ways to lose, almost like it is in our DNA. Maybe some new DNA making the decisions is needed.

“New and Interesting Ways to Lose” lol. Sounds like a really bad self help book or dubious community college course.

Stephen Holder said on twitter they started Rivers because it was the last home game and they wanted the stadium full

From Grok since I do not have the Athletic

Yes, according to a 2020 article in The Athletic (excerpted from Jeff Benedict's book The Dynasty), Bill Belichick believed Tom Brady had outperformed Drew Bledsoe during the 2001 preseason and privately told owner Robert Kraft at the end of preseason that he wanted Brady as the starter.However, Belichick did not bench Bledsoe at the time due to practical reasons: Bledsoe was the established face of the franchise with a massive new 10-year, $103 million contract signed in March 2001, and Belichick was coming off a 5-11 season in 2000 with limited job security.The article states: "If it had been up to Belichick, Brady would have been his starter at the beginning of the 2001 season. He had said as much to Kraft... but Belichick had known that he wasn’t in a position to push the issue then."Bledsoe's injury in Week 2 against the Jets ultimately allowed Belichick to start Brady without controversy. Multiple other sources (including NESN reports and retrospectives) corroborate this account, noting Brady impressed in camp but political/financial factors kept Bledsoe as the Week 1 starter.In short, Belichick thought Brady had earned the job in the summer of 2001, but it wasn't implemented until the injury forced the change.

You believe what you want, no way BB knew Brady was a potential GOAT and had him on the bench....what if Bledsoe doesn't get hurt? Ballard is a joke, you guys keep defending him and watch this franchise rot even further. He is a joke and the vast majority of Colts fans want him and Steichen gone at the end of the season. I don't mind Steichen, I think he is learning, was probably never the best choice, another Ballard fuck up!

You asked for proof. I gave it to you from MANY SOURCES. IIRC there was a short video about Brady and BB that also talked about it.

Don't be bull headed
