If Belichick were our coach

The last line of this provocative article poses the question:

"How many Super Bowls would Bill Belichick have won with this [Packers] team over the last 10 years?"

What do you think? Or is this even a fair question?

My answer: 2 for sure, probably 3

Its a question that can't be answered. There are to many factors involved. Maybe the packers with belichick would have won 4 maybe 0, its all pure speculation.
That said, I think he is a better coach, than mccarthy. I mean he was in the SB 6 times in the last 15 years. thats a trackrecord no current coach in the nfl can beat.

Would the Packers be better and won more titles with an historically great HC instead of McCarthy? Yes. Would the 1960s Bears have been better and won more titles with an historically great HC named Lombardi? Yes. Would the 1980s (pick a team other than the 49ers) have been better and won more titles with an historically great HC named Walsh? Yes.

If that's the standard then every HC not named Belichick should be fired, right? If that's not the point, what is?

Who's going to ask how many SBs would be won by their team if Mike Tomsula had been their coach?

 

[Mondio]

probably at least 17 Super Bowl wins in the past 5 years. Easily

I hate "What If" questions.

I hate "What If" questions.

but what if nobody asked them?

 

[Half Empty]

And, given the way the season ended, again, they'll be one of the only things to discuss for a while.

 

[thisisnate]

we wouldn't have a first round draft pick

 

[Half Empty]

But we would be in a position to be going for our second Lombardi in a row.

This questions easy if we're talking the last ten years. Both teams have HoF QBs, one has played in a tougher conference and division imo and both have one SB win in the last 10 years. So one

Huh? That's what HAS happened in the past ten years (plus the potential for another Pats win). The (obviously unanswerable) question is whether Belichick would have gotten more out of the players that were here than MM.

With a better coach, like Belichick or even Holmgren, we win the SB for the 2014 season and probably 2011 season too.

With a better coach, like ... Holmgren, we win the SB for the 2014 season and probably 2011 season too.

Unless he was distracted by a better deal from another team. BTW, what part do you think Holmgren played in the outcome of Super Bowl XXXII? The Packers were favored by double digits...

 

[Half Empty]

What has distracted McCarthy?

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Is this the thread where we talk about Unicorns too?

Holmgren was mostly to blame for that, probably due to overconfidence from 13 straight NFC wins and playing against the Broncos who were 0-3 in SBs.

Everyday is a good day when I can sniff unicorn farts and look at all my participation ribbons on the wall. Don't knock it till you try it

What has distracted McCarthy?

I have often wondered if the death of Joe Philbin's son in 2011 distracted McCarthy, and for that matter the whole team, in the divisional playoff loss to the NY Giants.

This year, I have wondered if the death of McCarthy's brother has distracted him.

Not saying if any of the above has been a distraction, but I have often wondered.

It is entirely possible and I think especially likely in 2011 that real life concerns infiltrated a man-made game, albeit a $50 plus billion* dollar game beloved by many.

Well your also the Patriots have had inferior talent to us. They've had pretty talented teams and as it stands right now the number is still one

Whatever floats your boat.

I'm going to assume that the first sentence means something like "Well, you're also implying that the Patriots have had inferior talent to us". If so, the answer is that I didn't say a thing about the Patriots's talent. I just said I think Belichick is better at getting what he can out of whatever he has to work with.
