Beef Invictus
Revolutionary Positivity
Nope, I got to go with Brady, even though I detest him on a personal level.
Look at Belichick before Brady, 5-11 with Bledsoe. And Bledsoe wasn't dreck, 4 PO appearances with Carroll and Parcells in NE. And Bledsoe played as well in Buffalo after he left NE as he did under Belichick.
Belichick had one winning season in five in Cleveland, Testaverde was a better QB after he got away from Belichick.
Since Brady, NE has been a mess, last season with Brady 12-4, 7th in points scored.
Brady goes to TB, where they had 1 winning season in 9 years, 11-5 and SB victory.
Now TB is loaded with talent from a 7 year rebuild, but still . . .
Peyton is a better pure passer, Steve Young might have been the most talented elite QB, but Brady "just wins baby."
Brady has played with more talent and better defenses than Peyton/Rodgers/Brees, and still the only way he can pass Brees' stats is having Brees retire first. Drop any of those other QBs into those Patriots teams or this Bucs team, and they aren't winning fewer Superbowls.
You're also forgetting that the Patriots were 11-5 in the year Brady sat for injury once Bill was established and the train was rolling. Without Peyton, though, Indianapolis plummeted from 10-6 to 2-14.
