In 08 with no Brady they were 11-5 and Matt Cassel looked like a great QB.

In '95, the genius Belichick lost twice to an expansion team. In his first 18 games with the Patriots, he was 5-13 and on the verge of being fired before the Jets injured Bledsoe. The rest is history. 

Belichick is just another guy. A guy that hit the lottery. 

I should also note the Patriots missed the playoffs the year you mentioned. Doubtful that would have happened with Brady.
