The entire team minus..Zappe.
Everyone on that team was saying stuff to the media. Bourne was in the doghouse for the entire season. David Andrews, one of the most respected Patriots on the team had something to say. Mccourty. Judon. I can go on and on.
Bill created a circus and the entire team lost a year of development because of it.
Brady was a pouty bitch his last year here but because he won he got a pass. I get it.
This is Mac's year to show if what we saw his rookie year when he was damn good, was an outlier or the product of coaching. He himself has a lot in this season and the team too. I'm excited to see a team function correctly because we have coaches who are qualified coaching at their position.
I want to focus on this, because I think it's bullshit. He was in the doghouse, but he was in the doghouse for complaining behind-the-scenes, which I have zero problem with. Every time they did let him play he performed and performed well, the opposite of pouting. And not everyone was bad last year or let their emotions impact their performance.
Even if they had, though, your starting QB sets the tone. It's why Brady was actually a problem his last year, which I have always criticized him for.
Mac can definitely get back on track this year, but he is not free of blame for last season. He acted like a spoiled baby when he needed to be a professional.
