Yes it takes luck. Luck as in getting Brady in the 6th Rd type luck. Hiring BB wasn't luck, just somebody doing g a a great job of knowing who would be a great hire
The way I would like to see the Texans run isn't the only way to run a franchise, but it's the way every successful franchise is run. Excluding the Pats, who are the anomaly and even the Pats are more aggressive than the Texans.
Like hell. The pats don't shell out big money for ANYONE..nor do they aggressively go after guys. Brady being perenially underpaid the last 20 years speaks to that. What they do is capitalize on their success over the last 20 years by propositioning guys & pick up guys who have been effectively left for dead by other franchises...Belichick is a thrifty shopper in this regard. "look, we think you'll be a great fit here & if you want to win a championship, here's what we're offering.." What it also does is effectively weed out guys who are looking for the big pay days & only bring in those that want to win. But it ONLY works b/c they keep winning.
