Bingo. Marv's philosophy is tenure rather than results based. That's a completely different philosophy from Belicheck.
Marv is more comfortable with those he can trust not to make mistakes. The trade off in a lot of cases is results suffer. The NFL doesn't stand for "Not For Long" for no reason. Heck I think they (players) get a pension after just 5 years. That should tell us something about what happens to ones ability as a natural age progression.

he's traded by Belichek.
the move shocked alot of those outside of New England.
yet in Cincy we have 2 LBers who are over weight and not really producing.
and they are still starting.
why didn't Lewis lay the hammer down 15 weeks ago and send a message to the team.
he should have benched Rey at the least
I wish Cincy would have traded for Collins
immediate upgrade to a lb core lacking playmakers and tacklers
I'm starting to feel some of these players have a sense of entiitlement
and no fear of getting their play time cut in half
You forgot the most important part regarding Collins:
He is a free agent after this year. There's no way that they make that move if he's under contract.

I actually think that Belichek is an idiot when it comes to being a GM. If he didn't have Brady, his blockheaded moves would be exposed much, much more.
Trading Chandler Jones and Collins will seriously hurt them come playoff time, mark my words.

His record of 4 superbowl says he knows what he's doing unlike 0 n 7 in playoffs

For all the praise Belichick gets, he sure doesn't have success with his coaches becoming good head coaches. Sure, Nick Saban is the obvious good one and Kirk Ferentz used to be pretty good at Iowa, but Iowa isn't a college powerhouse by any means. Meanwhile, we've seen Josh McDaniels, Charlie Weis, and Romeo Crennel, and Eric Mangini as terrible as HCs. The jury is still out on Bill O'Brien, but I'm not seeing anything special there either.

I'm just saying I dont think Belichek would have tolerated Rey Maualuga being over weight
if he was a Pat. he would have cut him in a second
I would have gave up a 3rd rd pick for Collins if for a half a year tenure
anything to see Rey or Dansby get less snaps.
I'm tired of our backers getting smoked by TEs,and not being in position to make a crucial tackle

Don't think for a minute that the Brown's destination didn't have anything to do with it. NE stands very little chance of being affected by Collins play while he's with the Brown's. No way they let a competitive AFC team aquirevhim for a low 3rd.

For a group trusted to not make mistakes, these guys sure do make a lot of them. Mistakes in blocking, mistakes in tackling, dropping passes, missing interceptions, missing the hole, forcing the ball into coverage...

Forgetting the snap count, forgetting what coverage they're in, running the wrong route, not getting out of bounds at end of game.
Putting their own interests in front of TEAM.
