Why is there a problem with Bill Belichick calling plays? - Stephen A. | First Take

The First Take crew DEBATES whether there is concern for the New England Patriots' offense without an offensive coordinator.

[lsky]

Wow who would have thought Steven a is the only media guy who understands the patriots situation

[petalsjones]

I'm a Patriots fan but Brady exposed Belichick. Brady's greatness made Belichick look good. He went on to win another superbowl and the Pats are limping on one leg. Instead of being arrogant they should kissed Brady's rings until he retired. You don't let Goats walk out the door without a care.

[garygarofalo]

They won their first 3 Super Bowls with an average QB (23 year old Tom Brady) and failed coach Charlie Weis. Bill has gotten 20 years of experience since then. This whole narrative is a joke.

[johnpestano]

No problem from me Bill is the 🐐 of coaching he knows what he's doing.

[manimavuso]

Imagine Belichick coaching 48 years and you question him 😴🥱

[karisnow]

Finally!! A man with sense. Folks act like playcallers are born and not made. Josh McDaniels was a rookie at some point too. One will grow into the role and just like all other coaches in the NFL if he excels he’ll have a job and if not…see ya

According to the media I guess no one’s calling plays, the offense will just punt lol

[geraldineyarborough]

Stephen A still drinking that Belichick KOOL-AID! 😂

[sostdm]

They just need something to talk about pats will be fine as far as play calling

[tylerW]

Stephen a said exactly what i was thinking watching the segments about matt patrica🤣

[whypascal]

Bill been doing this for years idk why people bringing up this pats not naming coordinators now in 2022 lmao

[darrylclary]

I am a Patriots fan. If belichick called the offensive plays it will be a long season for Matt Jones. Stick with one offensive coordinator so it won't confuse Matt Jones

[c.h.]

Wow .. Stephen A sat home, & picked up some of Mad Dog Russo mannerisms 😅

[kupever]

Swagu act like Brady was never a second year quarterback.

[legacymaker]

Dude has more rings than any person/franchise in NFL history and he's getting questioned if it'll be good for him to coach a second year QB.... Are you serious rn

[df]

Not Every Coach is fortunate enough to coach Michael Jordan AND THEN Kobe Bryant. They would’ve said the same thing about Phil Jackson. Just give him another premier Qb.

[tigerpause]

Yet he's the most experienced and best coach in the league.Yet people are losing their minds.Clueless haters.This is the age we live in.

[ThirdThinker]

It's outstanding to me that people especially former players wanna question Belichick's intellect when it comes to football.

[PekingDuck]

As long as the roles are clearly defined and the players, staff and everyone else know their areas of responsibility and decision making it shouldn’t be an issue what Belichick does or doesn’t do on either side of the ball. Only way I see this being a problem is if Mcdaniels or Patricia let their egos get in the way and I doubt they would have signed back up if they felt that could be an issue.

Do people know Josh McDaniel was a defensive back coach 😤😂? McDanielels picked up players from the airport long before he was calling offense. I think Bill also had a say how good Brady was as well. Surely we don’t think he alone is why the Bucs won the super bowl. Perhaps it was the stacked team he was on 😂.Bill will be fine
