The Patriots have been perhaps the most successful NFL franchise over the last two decades. They often seem to make plenty of strange moves, but more often than not those moves work out for the better. From watching their actions and transactions over the years, and from researching the Patriots success, I have noted and now compiled a list of what I call their "ten commandments" that have allowed them succeed ever since Robert Kraft bought the franchise in 1994.
The 10 Commandments
New England Patriots edition
1. Think long term. (Look for sustained success, not just attain it one year.)
2. Be bold and take risks.
3. Build around the talent you have.
4. Everyone's replaceable! (....well except for Tom Brady of course.)
5. Do your job!
6. See things that other people can't see.
7. Individuals play the game, but teams win championships.
8. Running Backs are a dime a dozen.
9. Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late.
10. Win. (The bottom line.)
