Perhaps but the Belichick record without Brady isn’t just this season. It’s pretty obvious that without Brady Belichick is not that great and now it’s finally obvious that without Belichick, Brady is still great.
IMO the comparison is stupid.
Obviously Brady was still great without BB, there’s a reason he went to TB and not the freaking Jets, he knew the potential that roster had with a great QB, they went 7-9 with Winston and less experience overall. And Arians and Lynch were ready to bend over for
Now to say Bill is not great without Brady, he was dealt a ****** hands in Cleveland as a first time HC. The Pats were in a rebuild when he came in. He won as much with Cassel/JimmyG/Brisset as QB as Brady with the Bucs in regular season.
Brady doesn’t win 6 titles without BB Defense, especially not early 00’. Neither BB win theses without cold vein Brady at the helm.
At the end of the day, BB ego was too much because he let go much of his pass rush, got ****ed over by the opt outs of Chung and Hightower and let Brady walk and replaced him by a dumb QB who can’t read a field, horrible fit in the Pats system.
IMO, to end up 7-9 with this current Pats roster, it takes a great coach because a lot of today’s coaches would’ve ended up with a Top3 pick with that team.
Watch out Bill take Trask and start to win again. He’s a great fit for what the Pats are doing.
