Funny thing about Belichick's run. It's directly coincided with Brady's presence at quarterback. I'm sure it's only coincidental.
Let's see how the Pats fare shopping the middle rounds once Brady retires.
You really believe its all the QB, huh? Most chicks do.
Did you see Belichick make Drew Bledsoe allpro? See him with win w Jacoby Brissett?
Football is a team sport. Frankly the OL is way more important than any other position. Mediocre talents like McIlroy and McCarron look like world beaters behind great lines. It is the same with mediocre backs.
Football is a team sport, they all must perform. The scout staff and Quality must do their thing the GM or recruiters must do theirs.
Youre certifiably insane if you think it was just a "great QB" who struggled to hold his job at Meatchikn and was a sixth round draft pick who only started bc Bledsoe got hurt.
There is no doubt in my mind if Brady didnt return a few years ago, Brissett would be all pro by now w multiple rings. Or Hoyer.
Everything Saban learned about overpreparing every single aspect and having a staff member or team to perform every imaginable function, he learned from Belichick.
