Belichick has 11-13 record in games not started by Tom Brady during his Patriots tenure, and had a losing record in his time in Cleveland, so you attributing most of the success to Belichick and failing to see the significance of the QB position and how much having Tom Brady has done for this team is a fail. People lean on 2008, in reality they took a team that Brady led to an undefeated regular season and a Super Bowl appearance to an 11-win season and missed the playoffs. That is 5 wins less without Brady year-to-year, shave 5 wins off the team this year and we would be 7-9, Tom Brady is the #1 reason that this team succeeds, so if you think things will transition with Garopollo or any other QB you are nuts.Both Manning and Rodgers have had a losing season. Brady has none. I'm sorry but when I lived in NE and I had Season Tickets for a decade and a half and ached for a mere .500 season. I know what losing is like, and I don't feel any apologies are due when the Pats rebuild, while going 12-4 or better.
Grow Up son. After the Pats 13 consecutive seasons of winning under Belichick, the next longest consecutive season winning streak is only four, 4, f-o-u-r, the number after 3 and before 5. You don't know what you have until its gone, I guess.
Like I said in my last post the Patriots have not gone through a rebuild, a rebuild consists of changing the most important player on the team, not just some of the pieces around him. Every team has had similar changes to their teams over the past 13 seasons, and outside their first seasons as starters Manning and Rodgers have never had a losing season either.
As far as you telling me to grow up, you might want to take your own advise because you are the one being so childish that you are getting bent out of shape during a football conversation on an internet forum. As far as not knowing what you have until it is gone, I agree I just disagree with your assessment that Belichick is the key piece, I attribute more of the success to Tom Brady, which is why I would be doing the things to win now with him, not worrying about life after Brady. If we could win 1-2 more Super Bowls with Brady over the next 4 years I would gladly endure a few losing seasons as we actually rebuild.
