Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 827880">Here's are couple of what I hope are final thoughts on this matter, in two posts for easier digestion.It has been reported that Brees overrides the play calls in the huddle, going from run to pass, and nobody thinks much of that because nobody makes an issue of it.  I suspect there's a lot more of this going on with vet QBs than is reported.  Brees had a contentious contract situation running over a couple of years with serial franchise tags, eventually ending in Brees taking the Saints to arbitration over his 3rd. franchise tag.The Saints struggled in the aftermath of "Bountygate" and while the Brees tag issues were going on.  The team wandered in the wilderness for several seasons.  Was Brees the problem?  Nobody says that now while he's overriding calls in the huddle.  How come?  It probably has something to do with a couple of great drafts, winning, and getting bounced from the playoffs and a Super Bowl berth only by virtue of a fluke play and a fluke non-call.Belichick-Brady tensions are widely reported, most recently the whole business of Brady wanting his personal trainer to be treated like a team employee.  Belichick could not have been happy over "Deflategate".  Belichick made no secret of his high opinion of Garoppolo, an opinion coming from a guy who is pretty sparse with his compliments.  We have reports that Belichick did not want to trade Garoppolo but Kraft dictated that he do so.  What does that imply?  Belichick could not have paid both of them.  He was ready to move on from Brady for the long term benefit of the football operation.  Despite these tensions, once the season starts it is about winning, and win they did.Roethlisberger, a guy with 3 Super Bowl appearances and 2 rings, is noted for calling out teammates.  It's only an issue now because of the long dry spell.  Is Roethlisberger "toxic"?   Given the behaviors of Bell and Brown, we might want to consider the problem lies elsewhere.</blockquote>
