Bill Belichick on the hot seat, Travis Kelce accepts winning, being underpaid | NFL | THE HERD

It's kind of like the American way, where we build people up and tear them down, but we worship in this country, we worship music stars, comedy stars, sports stars and coaches, and You know, I get it. Nick Saban Mikeevsky for like four decades can dominate because you have an endless supply of talent and in college save it on coach K or coach owner GM, I mean they run the whole show but in Pro Sports everyone has a line of time. Greg Popovich loses Duncan, he's really good, right? and there is a lot of adoration for Bill Belichick. but then we get new information that Brady is gone and it's not very good and I mean, do people realize?

I saw a story this morning from Tom Curran saying this is a really pivotal year for Bill Belichick and maybe we should all take a step back. and boy, what is it really without Tom Brady? He doesn't get along with his quarterback. He just named a defensive coordinator, an offensive coordinator, a dumb move that gets toned up after the offense, what is he without Tom Brady? And it's really fun, I don't think so anymore. people really talk about it, so in Cleveland he was 36 and 44, he went through quarterbacks as head coach 36 and 44. before Brady in New England they were in big trouble, he and Eric Mangini before kickoff They were talking to Herm Edwards, they were talking about in New England they put their houses up for sale if they didn't win that year, he was 5 and 11 years old.

Since Brady left, he is a 500 coach now he went 11-5. Brady got hurt. Matt Castle stepped in, but it should be noted that they were undefeated the year before with Brady and a loaded roster. Castle 111-5 still failed to make the playoffs with arguably the best roster and the undisputed best team in the sport failed to make the playoffs. playoffs Belichick has one playoff victory in his career without Brady tens of seasons in total, seven of them losing, that's right, he is not a successful NFL head coach without Brady. 10 seasons, seven losing seasons, by the way, last year's draft, where they needed speed, selected two kickers and three guards.

The first three selections, totally deaf defensive players. on offense this is not the case with all coaches Andy Reid without Mahomes 19 seasons 14

winning

seasons and 13 playoffs Andy Reid is one with multiple quarterbacks in multiple cities multiple teams multiple cultures multiple assistants Belichick's career is absolutely tied to a Brady player otherwise 10 years one playoff win seven losing seasons I mean, you had to give Pete Carroll credit last year made the playoffs with Geno Smith made it to a couple of Super Bowls with Russell Wilson dominant college coach with multiple quarterbacks Belichick's career is tied to one player Brady's career is no longer tied to Belichick, he went to a shaky franchise and won a championship the first year in a covid year where they couldn't have a preseason , so Mahomes has been great for Andy Reid, no one would argue, but 14 of 19-year-old Annie Reid made the Conference Championship four years in a row in the NFC with normal homes, so this idea of ​​worship, we have new drafts information law, never really won without Tom Brady, didn't win in Cleveland with all the quarterbacks, didn't win before prep, didn't win after Brady. and that's why I find it so strange that instead of empowering quarterback Mac Jones it's almost like he's stifling him yesterday, they re-signed Devonte Parker a good year in the league, last in the league to part ways, what?

Is it an ego thing? I do not do it. I know I don't doubt Belichick's brilliance on special teams and defense. I don't doubt his understanding of his football, but you can't deny what I'm saying, it's not an opinion, it's just numbers, he never is without Brady and I'm not. Speaking of

winning

big, I'm just talking about winning 10 years and seven losing seasons, so why is he holding Mac Jones back ever since? I came to this topic yesterday, Travis Kelsey, J MC and I got into this discussion, so Travis Kelsey is a great tight end for Kansas City and he said you know what goes, you know sometimes it makes you think that they're taking advantage of you because my agents always tell me that my managers and agents love to tell me how

underpaid

I am and when I see Tyreke go and get 30 grand in In the back of my head I was like, man, that's two, three times what I'm doing.

The free market seems fun until you go somewhere you don't win. I love to win. I love the situation we're in, so by the way, he gets it. he asked Tyreek Hill what it was like to catch passes from three different quarterbacks or he watched his personal life fall apart. Kansas City was good for Tyreek Hill, they won without him, but Travis Kelsey's agents care about making money. What cannot be bought is legacy, happiness and victory. so the average team tight end salary means what a team pays all of their tight ends, they have four, all combined 11.9 million.

Travis Kelsey earns 14.3 million per year. In fact, the average NFL tight end makes two million dollars a year, Travis Kelsey makes more than seven times as much. and because of Andy Reid and Mahomes, there's a reason Travis Kelsey hosted Saturday Night Live once he wouldn't if Kirk Cousins ​​was his quarterback and there's a reason he's playing in a golf game televised tonight on television which he wouldn't do if Dak was his quarterback. Travis Kelsey makes $5, $10, $15 million a year in endorsements Nike T-Mobile Old Spice tied Walgreens McDonald's Sleep Number Dick's Sporting Goods Papa John's, you're not getting those with 99 quarterbacks in this league, bro, maybe Mahomes absolutely and That's what Derek Jeter always understood the value of the Yankees.

He wouldn't have been able to buy the Marlins even a share of them if he were a pirate, a royal, or a sailor. Kobe Bryant to his credit once threatened, but he always understood the value. of the Lakers brand and Jerry West and Jerry Buss and Phil Jackson's training, you could go get Gasol a shack, that's who you can play with when you're a Laker Jeter has it, Kobe has it and Travis Kelsey understands it and it's It's okay to think two things simultaneously: Travis Kelsey is great and benefits greatly from his environment. He is not the same player and I love him. plus a plus a plus a GM owner coach quarterback so I want to say I love Don Henley when he played alone, but he was better with the eagles.

I mean, Don Henley had a number one hit, but look at the size of the places he played when he was with the Eagles compared to Don Henley just coming back and realizing there's great value in

being

part of a collective of brilliant people around me, so agents have one concern: money is how they get paid Kelsey Jeter Kobe always understood that you can't buy happiness, you can't you can't buy wins ask the New York Mets you can't buy the legacy Travis Kelsey is now in the conversation for the best player in the history of the League at his position.

I'm not sure agents really care about that Travis Kelsey, thankfully smart. He earns 14.3 million for a tight end, that's a lot of lettuce. I think he is the second lowest paid unit outside of safety in the league. It's like tight end security guards who don't understand, don't make money, tight average. The final salary in the league is 2 million. Travis earns a salary of 14-3. I guess he makes 25 million a year from all of his sponsorships. That's a good life. Hello everyone, thanks for watching.
