5 fictional quarterbacks Bill Belichick, Patriots can win with

4. Uncle Rico

Napoleon Dynamite is one of the best movies of the 21st century. A huge reason for that was its fantastic cast. The most memorable supporting character in that film? Uncle Rico, who was played by Jon Gries. Rico allegedly was a great quarterback. But could Belichick win with him?

First off, it’s important to remember that Rico could throw a football “a country mile”. Let’s assume that he is telling the truth. Who wouldn’t want a quarterback like that? If Tyrod Taylor can last a whole season by basically just throwing deep passes, why can’t Uncle Rico?

Secondly, Uncle Rico would be great in the locker room. Could you imagine the conversations that he would have with Rob Gronkowski? Sure, Uncle Rico obviously has some ego issues. But if Belichick can put up with Randy Moss, Uncle Rico will seem like nothing.

Uncle Rico’s deep arm is probably the best of any quarterback that Belichick has coached. Just watch Belichick sign a bunch of tall people and tell him to just throw to them. And the Patriots would still probably win.

Of course, Uncle Rico was never the brightest bulb in the box. But Uncle Rico is probably the worst quarterback that Bill Belichick could feasibly win a game with.
