It's easy, and only takes a few moments.As someone else here as noted, the "recentism" towards the end is a bit annoying (Banks seems to forget that 18-20 TDs, a passer rating in the 80s, and not too many costly mistakes would be Bradyesque, as that was what Brady did in 2001; Brady's 2007 season seems to have made everybody think he's been playing like that his entire career).
Banks has been all over the place on this issue. One second he is saying the Pats are screwed with Cassel and the next he will be fine under the tutelidge of Brady.

I wonder if there is a chance that Brady will be in the coach's both the next two weeks. He obviously won't be in the sidelines during this time, but he might be able to give some advise through the headsets to Cassel. Is this even allowed?
Drew wore a headset all through 2001. Sometimes that's just to listen in, other times it's a backup or mentor QB relaying in the plays rather than the OC. Some OC's sit in the booth and some stand on the sidelines. I believe we position Ernie in the box...
Brady can do a lot of scouting and film work for and with Matt. I doubt he'd be as vocal in game. Too many voices and all... More likely he'd be in communication with Bill and Josh in game and let them filter his observations first.
And no, NEM, he's not going to be the new defacto OC...
Drew wasn't IRed in 2001. I don't know if an IRed player can be an active participant in any capacity during the game. I don't even know if they can be in any restricted areas during the game. I remember seeing Mike Alstott on the sidelines his last year when he was out for most of the year, but I can't remember if he was actually IRed or kept on the active roster.
Reserve/Injured (IR)
A player who sustains an injury in a practice or game that renders him physically unable to perform after passing his club’s pre-season physical may be placed on his club’s Reserve Injured list. While on IR a player will continue to receive his salary and medical care and is permitted to attend meetings, but he is prohibited from practicing and playing in games for his club for the remainder of the season. “The key benefit of being placed on IR is the club’s ongoing obligation to pay the player’s salary, medical care, and rehabilitation,” said NFLPA Staff Counsel Tim English. “It is the medical care and rehabilitation that allows the player to recover from injury and to get back out on the field. We all know that players want to play.”
I just noticed something. Look closely at this picture. It appears that Brady is already wearing a knee brace on his left knee...
1. Am I seeing things or is that a knee brace?
2. If it is, did Brady always wear a knee brace?
Well, that puts him in the same camp as most of us!

The thing is that while Drew did something similar to this in 2001, I get the sense that Brady would be amazing at this job. His greatest skill is his brain.
