On a side note, Bill Belichick, in his 7 seasons as a head coach without Tom Brady on a team (5 in Cleveland and 2 in NE) is 48 wins and 64 losses, with 6 of the 7 seasons being a losing year.  I know its an argument for another time and place, but I don't hold Belichick and the Pats organizationally in as high regard as I do Brady.
