So let's talk about coaches for a moment. Who would you rather have:
HC/offensive guru Andy Reid
OC Matt Nagy
DC Steve Spagnuolo
or
HC/defensive guru Bill Belichick
OC Charlie Weis (or Josh McDaniels)
DC Romeo Crennel
Patrick Mahomes: Next Generation Brady?
- Thread starter BaseballJones
- Start date
HC/offensive guru Andy Reid
OC Matt Nagy
DC Steve Spagnuolo
or
HC/defensive guru Bill Belichick
OC Charlie Weis (or Josh McDaniels)
DC Romeo Crennel
Throw in Dante and I'll take the BB team.
Otherwise I really have to ponder, which is not something I would've said three years ago.

The OC/DC thing can be thrown out I think. I think Bill is coming up with defensive game plans and I think Reid is running the offense.
Given:
Reid/Spags
Bill/McDaniels
Equivalent rosters…
If we are playing under today’s rule set, it’s really close about as close as you can get. Might even favor Reid/Spags
If we go prior to Manning crybaby rules, I’ll take BB.
With today's rules? Who is my QB? Do I have Mahomes if I choose Reid and Brady if I choose Pats?
This is tricky because I think Bill's ability to lead faded when he faced so much brain drain and retirement. Reid though hasn't had that issue and the game is geared towards offense. Is it peak Bill with all of his best people surrounding him? Peak Reid?
Today's BB vs today's Reid? Not insane at all. Probably pretty darn rational...
Probably BB because of the total package. At his peak he found so much hidden value as a GM and decision maker. But as HC's only? Flip a coin. I am happy with either.
Let's phrase it differently, do the current Chiefs perform worse with BB and do the 01-04 Pats win 3 with Reid? Or even the 18 Pats?
Andy Reid wasn't as good of a coach as he was in 01-04 as he is now. He has gotten better at a lot of the details like game management, clock management, etc. He was still a damn good coach back then but he had a few flaws he doesn't have now. Made it to 4 championships games in a row. BB helped craft the defenses that he then commanded to success. Reid has crafted his offenses now to do the same. Brady also isn't necessarily a guy Reid would have preferred to play with. He has preferred guys who were a little more mobile for his WCO roots. Sorry, not trying to be difficult here but it's hard to think about the plug in this guy and what would change concept for me. Maybe I am just too far in the weeds with it.
