1st Down: Why fix what isn’t broken?

The Patriot Way has been a system that Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, and Tom Brady have implemented to the New England Patriots organization for 20 years. Six Super Bowls later, and it is safe to say that this system works. It is simple: you arrive on time, work hard, do your job, and success will follow.

So, why would Tom Brady decide to leave and go to another organization? To me, it doesn’t make sense to fix something that isn’t broken.

Robert Kraft is still the owner and looks at Tom as a member of his own family. He is going to do anything possible to keep his franchise quarterback a member of the team until the day he decides to retire.

Head coach Bill Belichick is still the mastermind behind the Patriot Way and a huge reason why the New England Patriots have been as successful as they have been for 20 years.

And lastly, Josh McDaniels is still going to be the offensive coordinator at least for one more season, as he did not take any of the vacant head coaching jobs this offseason. His relationship with Brady is strong, as they seem to click well — just like Charlie Weis and Brady when Weis was with the Patriots during the first run of Super Bowl titles in the early 2000s.

All three elements should keep Tom Brady from starting over with a new owner, coach, and offensive system with a subpar coordinator.
