Quote:Is it time to question how "great" Brady really is? He's good no question, but now we've seen Mallet, Cassel, Garappolo, Brisset look great in Belichick's system and suck everywhere else (when applicable). Even Garappolo and Brisset are without Gronk.


I'm not questioning he's the best of their qbs, but I do wonder if he could take another team to the SB like Peyton did. I've always thought he was a beneficiary of a good system, there's a LOT of evidence to support that now.

 

What we are seeing is a lot of run plays being called to simplify the job for Tom Brady's backups. Jacoby Brissett did not win the game with his arm. He just won the game, period. Urban Meyer did this during the 2014 postseason. No J.T. Barrett, no problem, because he made adjustments and let Cardale Jones just be a game manager. (I know OSU is a college team, but Bill Belicheat and Meyer did the same thing.) So it really is not just the system or offensive scheme helping Garoppolo and Brissett, even though that obviously does not hurt.
