A great quarterback can make a good coach look great.

I think he'll stick around a little longer or move onto a new team to try and prove that he can do it without him.

Brady is all but done. I just don't see him playing in 2020. All of the moves he's made have him with one foot out the door.

You and I differ, then, C.

If Brady schedules a presser to announce he's stepping away from the game, I see Belichick having his own announcement within the week. What else does he have to accomplish? I don't see him wanting to build from the ground up, tarnish the legacy they had (other than the tarnishing they've done to themselves), and I imagine he'd be very well suited to a candid analysis segment on NFLN or something like Peyton's Place or that Gruden QB show a few years back.

Noll should have done the same thing when Bradshaw hung up the cleats; how many remember Lombardi as coach of the Redacteds? Bill has too much to lose in that situation.
