Belichick just makes smart moves.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Sure, I have even alluded to the fact that Gettleman was bringing a Pats like vibe to the organization regarding spending smartly. It was me that coined the term "Carolina Culture" as an alternative to the Patriot way. Gettleman could be the closest thing to Belichick, but he is still a far cry away from having a total mastery of team building that Belichick has displayed over the years. That's my opinion.
As for Juice, he would have been my number one target. You speak of the shotgun, but Rivera has alluded to evolution. A new way, perhaps even a return to our roots, is coming. For a team that stands upon the rock of power football, Juice would have been the perfect addition. I mean he is just the number one fullback in the league, and his blocking is a big part of that. His contract is relatively cheap for what he's able to bring to a team that covets a FB like we do.
"And so it’s really a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million, with a team-held option for each of the next three years. That’s still a great deal for a fullback, but the real guarantee is roughly one third of the much-hyped $21 million contract."

There have been other times I've raised my eye when seeing how relatively cheap that others have been to acquire talent as well, but I'm not getting into that. I largely support Gettleman, but I don't think that he's perfect, and though I liken him to Belichick lite, I certainly think that he has a way to go before he has a mastery over team building like Belichick. That's not a slight, but a compliment.

I would rather get the 2nd best FB available for half the price if we wanted one haha. I agree that G-man isn't on Bill's level yet.
