Dubie54 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Taken as a whole Belichick's, overall record is impressive, but when you look at the one variable, (TB12) that has impacted his record, it's a little less impressive. With TB12: 249-75 (.769) Without TB12, incl. Cleve.: 83-104 (.449) Impossible to say how he would have fared in NE if they had not drafted TB12 in the 7th round, but one thing is for sure, he would not have had the success he has had.

Long Suffering Fan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The guy was a special coach. He did amazing things as the D coord of NYGs and got 2 SB rings that way. One, very painfully, at our expense. Then he rebuilt a terrible Browns team and took him to the playoffs. Next he started to rebuild a terrible Pats team. When we look at stats like this, it is misleading because it is two rebuilding periods (without Tom) that are in the numbers. Next, he wins the SB with Tom and, his first year, I'm not sure Tom should get all that credit. I think he has one TD pass that entire playoffs. Later he goes 11-5 (?) with Matt Cassel when Toms out. Next, he dragged Mac Jones to the playoffs. Tom became amazing, but that shouldn't diminish Bill. Just to be clear, I do not like either of them and Bill has been a personal demon for me up until this year. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 There’s a lot of legendary coaches that would be just ok if you took their best player away lol. He was also the gm that drafted Tom and the coach that gave him a shot too so I think he deserves some credit for Brady’s success also 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Every winner has to have a chemistry or a connection with the HC & the staff members that are put around him and both of those have changed since TB 12 has left so it's hard to re invent the wheel once that talent & that connection that came with it is gone . Dabol seemed to have a better play calling acumen for Josh & the long ball but it has taken 2 seasons to find out Dorsey did;t have that same connection so they had to move on and Brady has a better connection or chemistry with Josh than Dorsey .

May Day 10 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I was once an 'its all Belichick and the Patriots' 'system' they have. These days, I think it is almost equal Belichick/Brady. Neither would have amounted to anywhere near their historical status without the other (and I am convinced nobody would remember Tom Brady). It was a perfect storm of a coach/staff who was ahead of the curve and would find every single margin to take advantage of for winning. You had a QB who wasnt all that gifted, but was willing to give his entire being to being the greatest and winning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Greatest dynasty in sports history and one that will never be repeated. You don't do that with an all time QB and an all time coach. Ridiculous debate IMO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He was able to win with Cassel so it is not all Br*dy but not without his director of cheating and dirty tricks Ernie Adams. The correlation is much higher. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had Ernie Adams reviewing film looking for referee tendencies.
