Did Bill Belichick just pull a Hinkie?

Just pulled this off the RealGM Football General Board:

So far, nary a single comment suggesting any nefarious dealings...

Here's a stab at Belichick from the press:

The Patriots have been making moves like this for a decade; Ty Law was a good example. Currently, the team has no healthy TEs and plenty of OL depth. So, they trade the 32 yr old, $6.75 MM OG for a $800K, 24 yr old TE & a 2015 4th round pick.

The Red Sox traded half of their team at the deadline a few weeks ago and were lauded for their rebuilding strategy.

Where's the love for Sam?

The two examples you provided are teams that won championships and are proven winners. Until Hinkie does it, he does not deserve the love (and this is coming from a sixers fan that loves his direction)

Belichick has been doing this for years. It always amazes me how many picks they get and then turn into good players.

He is just very sober when assessing talent. If a deal comes along that makes sense value wise he does it, even if it includes shipping out good picks or players.

I would say that Hinkie does the same thing, but he needs to do it a bit longer to really deserve the reputation.

Now if Hinkie could get Amaro to pull a Hinkie, that would be freaking news. Belichick has always done it, learned it from Parcells.

Honestly....I loathe the Patriots. I'm a die-hard Carolina Panthers fan, and the Super Bowl game simply broke me. And then to find out after the fact that the Patriots had known exactly what Delhomme was calling at the line the majority of the 2nd half...and I won't get into the whole "cheating" thing. It's just a fact. One way or another the Pats got the information, and used it to win the game. But regardless, it irked me to the core.

HOWEVER....

I think if anything the term "pulling a Belichick (sp?)" should be the phrase used in this situation. Hinkie would be wise to take lessons from the Pats when it comes to getting the better end of a trade.

Considering the Panthers shouldn't have even been in the Super Bowl that year... :wink:

I agree with the previous poster that I would rather not talk about the Cheatriots here.
