NFL playoffs
I admit that the Pats are on a good run, however look at the Celtics. From 56-57 to 75-76, they have been more impressive than the cheaters in chief.

I'm simply saying that any QB can be set up for success in Belichicks system, and that it takes both parts of the Pat's equation to have the dynasty. |

better comparison would be the yankees from 1947-1964 stretch was very impressive. The Yankees won 15 of 18 AL pennants and 10 World Series, including five in a row.

I didn't want to do this, but my favorite player of all time is Dan Marino. I think Marino was a better QB than Brady is from a pure skill standpoint. And yet, even though Marino had some good teams, he never won the big game. Now let's do something fun....put Marino, Manning, Elway, Kelly, Aikman, any one you want into the #12 jersey when Bledsoe goes down....what then? Would Manning perform better than Brady over the years? I think it's a right place, right time situation. The foot needs the shoe, and the shoe needs the foot.

I've been following the NFL for 50 years now. In the NFL as well as high school and college sports, if you don't respect the better teams, just "because," you diminish your favorites as well. I'm not a fan of the Patriots, but they seem to have been kicking a lot of butts over the years.

This tells me that Belichick could "in theory" take any QB drafted 199 or less, and make them into a Brady. Now, I know that no one else is Brady, but just think about it for a second...Brady was a no name before Belichick molded him into his offense. So in a sense, yes, I believe that in the year 2000 Belichick could have put just about any QB into that situation and they would "in theory" have been successful. Then you can spin it this way.....what if the QB that replaced Bledsoe was another no name that had just a little more talent than Brady...would he have 7 rings by now? At the end of the day though, these are all what ifs. Brady and Belichick will go down as the greatest tandem in NFL history and deserve every bit of the accolades that come with it. |

Let's ask another silly question whilst I am feeling inquisitive...
What is more impressive to you: A) Reaching the Super Bowl 4 times in a row and losing? (Buffalo Bills) B) Winning the Super Bowl |

I don't want to diminish the importance of the Belichick/Brady combination, They seem to be absolutely the best coach/QB team the NFL has ever seen. But, what everyone is ignoring, is that it takes a TEAM, 53 players and a dozen or more coaches to win games at the level that the Patriots are winning. Brady and Belichik are the first to say that everyone on the team contributes. Witness Stefon Gilmore breaking up Bortles' 4th down pass. Without that play, chances are Jacksonville would be on the plane to Minneapolis. Witness Malcom Butler's game-winning interception in the Superbowl against Seattle. Witness Julian Edelman's miracle catch that started the Patriots' comeback in last year's Superbowl. As great as Brady is, he relies on everyone else to do their parts. Belichick is the master strategist and the demanding taskmaster who brings out the best in his players. Brady is the centerpiece and the catalyst who leads the team, makes things happen and gives others the chance to do their parts. When the Patriots win two weeks from now, the victors will be the New England Patriots, not just Brady and Belichick.
