It was a major blunder for Davis to want The Patriot Way to be installed for the Raiders.
It is remarkable it worked for the Patriots. It probably does work if you want that kind of culture, but how you start and cultivate that culture requires luck (i.e., you have a Tom Brady or Kobe Bryant that commands respect from other players who see if they’re doing it then they probably should to gain their respect …game knows game).
We now see The Patriot Way is likely to come and go with Belichick …and, at this point, will be seen as the benefactor of Brady (instead of the other way around).

I think it worked for the patriots because Tom Brady demanded it. I’d bet if you talked to players from Belichecks earlier teams and early patriots teams, this wasn’t the way.
The Patriot way is just do your job. There’s no mystical thing about it. Idk why people keep bringing it up so much lol.
Trying to do the same thing with every player is stupid. Some don’t like hard coaching. That’s OK if they are otherwise talented and get the job done. Being a dick to them won’t suddenly fix the problem.
Porn stars, maybe
