Disagree heavily about replacing Brady. You dont have to think hes the GOAT - I dont care about those arguments - but you couldnt just swap someone else in. What does he do that makes you think he could win so much with a different QB? Please avoid half time adjustments without really discussing the actual adjustments and giving him credit for what Patricia dialed up etc


Again, and perhaps I'm not articulating my argument well enough, is that you can't just swap "someone else" in. He's a top five QB of his generation, without question. BUT he isn't the definitive number one QB and there are a handful of other players that the Patriots would have been just as good with. And even with someone like Stafford or, hell, Foles, the Patriots would have been able to put together multiple Super Bowl runs.

Belichick is effectively coach and GM at this point, and that's where is true genius is. He is so damn good at putting together a team, and then executing a game plan with the pieces he has that it is unparalleled in the sport. I have a lot of Patriots fan friends, and I always think they overvalue Brady and undervalue Belichick. "Halftime adjustments" aren't even the best thing he does, although he probably does it better than any coach ever (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-patriots-defense-needs- (space) 30-minutes-to-figure-out-how-to-beat-you/ - that's just this year. He's been doing this for decades now without Patricia so I'm not inclined to give him any credit yet. I've seen what happens when coordinators leave Belichick and I have no reason to think the exact same thing won't happen to Patricia without Belichick there to guide him.)

He is a phenomenal coach, and there are maybe two in the past forty years that even come close to him in terms of what he has done for that franchise. I mean, big credit is due to the rest of the Patriots organization too for getting out of the way and letting him do what he wants to do, because that is where a lot of organizations falter.
