Not true at all, it took both of them for that dynasty to work.


Sure, Brady is still doing well. But he’s not excelling. He’s on a loaded team and only managed to go 11-5. He won’t go to the super bowl and will probably be 1 and done in the playoffs. 

Impossible to win in this league with no talent and no QB, which is what Belichick has right now.

No, I think it's perfectly true in my opinion. Belichick rode Brady's coat tails to multiple titles.

I feel people are forgetting how many of those titles were also won because of Belichick's defenses. It was not just Brady. 

No doubt, he has definitely failed as an offensive talent evaluator over the past few seasons. But what made Belichick great was getting the most out of the players he had, and having great or vastly over-achieving defenses.

This year, 2 of their star defensive players opted out, and Gilmore was in and out of the line up.  Given how bad their offense was, it is a miracle they won 7 games and more than half their wins were against teams above 0.500.
