Not sure I agree. Brady was one of the worst QBs in the league last year and they had a historic defense. He sure looks rejuvenated this year but theres no getting around how bad he was last yr.

Cassel. Who was actually a better athlete than Brady.
Jimmy G. started two games as a Pat and won both.
Think there was at least one more guy that started a game or two and had an even record or a winning one.
Look, I'm not saying that Belichick would've led the Pats to all those conference championships or SB titles, but there's really no denying that they have had a pretty good system over there and you could insert almost any decent QB in there and win some games.
Yeah, they've almost always had a good to great defense, and a set of decent weapons' but every team would need some combination of the above to win. Football is the ultimate team sport, so that makes sense.
Brady is a product of the system he was in. He didn't create it. He didn't coach those defenses to be what they were. Heck, for the first couple years of his career as a Pat he was basically only a game-manager. He certainly wasn't anything special. Brady grew into becoming a great QB. [Reply]
Brady is a 6th round quarterback who is on a strong team and has a lot of starting experience to learn. Ryan Fitzpatrick would do just as well in Tampa.
Belichick is a cheater who doesn't draft well and is now paying for it. [Reply]

Accurate. Both overrated cheating frauds who don’t deserve respect. [Reply]
It’s easy to say Brady but you won’t win ANY games with a QB throwing for 90 yards and 3 picks. If Belichick has a half decent QB he’s only got 1 or 2 losses right now. [Reply]
