That is what is happening in KC right now. I think we can do it here. I hope the team is smart and can maximize what is here to be successfully. Let it be a Doug+TL+Duval way of life or something.  The NFL is fun when you have teams that have to get through other teams to ascend. Thinking fondly of all the Dallas v SF matchups that produced great games.

The odds of someone taking a QB in the 6th and discovering two years later that he's the next Tom Brady would have to be something on par with winning the Powerball, mega million, state lottery, + getting struck by lightning while being bitten by a shark simultaneously all in the same day. 

Anytime someone starts any assertion with "Tom Brady wasn't drafted until the 6th round..." I just tune out. 

It's a moot comparison due to insane improbability. 

Nonetheless - there will be inevitable coach and QB combos on par with the Belichick/Brady pairing. There is no guarantee they will last as long due to the cap maneuvering though. 

Most QBs won't last that long physically, and whether Brady got paid under the table or really gave up salary to keep the dynasty intact - that is going to be a challenge for any team that finds a QB/HC combo worthy of competing similarly.
