Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1568 Recruiting troops
The New England Patriots need a quarterback, that's no news; the real news is, who will be the successor? Who will take the helm of the New England Patriots?
First of all, it is an honor. When Belichick selected Brady with the 199th pick in the sixth round, the league thought it was a stupid move, but Belichick has spent twenty years building a GOAT, and Belichick himself is still pursuing the honor of having the most wins in the league.

Even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; the New England Patriots are still a force to be reckoned with, and whoever succeeds them will be in the spotlight next season.

Secondly, it's a pressure to take over Brady's position.

Under Brady, the team still managed eleven wins and made the playoffs last season; now, how his successor, Billychick, performs will be scrutinized under a microscope, with every detail examined. Comparing him to Brady in every aspect is a situation that no ordinary person can bear.

It's like a hot potato.

The spotlight is on; now it's just a matter of who dares to step into the spotlight under the watchful eyes of millions.

Perhaps Jamie Winston?
As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting quarterback, Winston's situation became awkward and uneasy after Brady joined the team.

Amidst a barrage of questions from reporters, Winston stated that he was willing to stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that he was willing to compete with Brady for the starting quarterback position, and that he believed he was capable of taking on the starting role.

However... the Alliance professionals didn't see it that way. When they looked at Winston, it was as if they were sizing up a piece of junk, weighing his remaining value, and seeing what he could bring to the Tampa Bay pirates in a barter exchange. Everything was up for sale.

People even thought that Billitchek should look down on Winston.

If it wasn't Winston, then who was it?
Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback Andy Dalton? New Orleans Saints' backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater? Los Angeles Chargers' starting quarterback Philip Rivers? Chicago Bears' starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky? Washington Redskins' former starting quarterback Alex Smith? Atlanta Falcons' starting quarterback Matt Ryan?

Various speculations are flying around.

Then, another name that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared: Cam Newton.

The Carolina Panthers' starting quarterback, the 2011 number one draft pick, the 2015 regular season MVP, led the team to Super Bowl XL, was hailed as "Superman", and was a representative of the new generation of running quarterbacks. His reputation and glory reached their peak in the 2015 season, and his future looked bright.

Unfortunately, his career took a sharp turn for the worse after that. His poor passing fundamentals were magnified by a series of injuries, and he gradually faded into obscurity.

Last season, Newton was once again sidelined with injury and his performance remained poor.

This offseason, the Carolina Panthers allowed Newton to seek a trade, but after going around in the league without success, the team announced that they would waive Newton. It is shocking that the former regular season MVP has fallen to the point of being without a team after only four seasons.

Although everyone knows that professional leagues are cold-blooded and ruthless, Newton's downfall still caused a great deal of sighs.

Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers' other superstar, "Skywalker" Luke Kuechly, is a linebacker who won the 2012 NBA Defensive Rookie of the Year award and the 2013 NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. He was also the biggest contributor to the team's run to Super Bowl XL and was selected to the Pro Bowl for seven consecutive years.

He announced his retirement during this year's offseason.

The Carolina Panthers, who were once unparalleled in the 2015 season, have officially announced the start of a rebuilding period, and the speed of their fall from the peak to the bottom is beyond imagination.

Just as everyone was sighing with regret, the names of the New England Patriots and Newton appeared together, announcing the completion of the agreement. League: ...

Shock. Astonishment. Shock. Speechless.

The news was as explosive as Brady's departure to Tampa Bay. Who would have thought that Belichick would choose a running quarterback as his successor, and that it would be Newton, whose career had been fading due to injuries in recent years? Almost everyone believed that Newton's career was over, and no team was willing to give Newton another chance. But the result was that the New England Patriots became Newton's redemption.

This……

In an instant, with a jolt, everyone snapped back to reality; let's not forget that they were discussing Belichick—

Belichick's consistent winning philosophy is to rely on the defense team to lay the foundation, on the special operations team to grasp the details, and on the operations team to play creatively.

Even without Brady, Newton was still able to unleash his full potential under Belichick. Could Newton be reborn with a second spring?
Could it be that... the New England Patriots dynasty hasn't completely collapsed? Will the 2020 season still not be enough to completely knock the New England Patriots out of the title race?
The signs are telling; the 2020 season is destined to be full of uncertainties.

Whether it's a major move like Brady and Watt, or an unexpected event like Newton joining hands with Belichick, every little thing has a ripple effect. Any action or change of direction can have a chain reaction. Nothing is 100% certain, and the ups and downs of the free market unfold against this backdrop.

The New Orleans Saints traded backup quarterback Bridgewater to the Carolina Panthers.

The Cincinnati Bengals traded Andy Dalton to the Dallas Cowboys, and the former Ginger Head has been relegated to the bench.

The Los Angeles Chargers traded veteran quarterback Doc Rivers to the Indianapolis Colts, scattering the former "Big Four" of their mid-career era across the globe.

It is worth mentioning that after the humiliation at the end of the 2018 season and the struggle in the 2019 season, Eli Manning finally announced his retirement during the offseason. No matter how ugly or dirty the process was, Manning still ended his career with the New York Giants, drawing an imperfect conclusion.

In addition, Joe Flacco left the Baltimore Ravens last season and is struggling for a starting position; Ben Roslisberger has been caught in controversy due to the successive outbursts of Bell and Brown, and although he remains with the Pittsburgh Steelers, it seems to be just a last-ditch effort.

Not only veterans like Brady and Brees, but also this generation of excellent quarterbacks who were once second only to the elite are retiring from the historical stage.

This is precisely why Brady's all-or-nothing decision to join the Tampa Bay Pirates takes on a tragic and desperate air, as if he is fighting against the tide of the times with his own strength, just like "The Old Man and the Sea".

And it's not just quarterbacks.

From another perspective, the quarterback is just one position for one player. This offseason arms race focused on the quarterback position, but the real battleground was in other positions, proving that football is a team sport and that one person alone cannot win a game.

The real battles are fought outside the quarterback position.
