Yeah-it was like that '06 reg season game against the Colts at Foxboro...30 degree weather against the WORST ranked run D in all of football. Nonetheless, McDaniels calls FIFTY pass plays. Result? Brady throws 4 picks. Weis, OTOH, would have called just as many run plays/play action passes.
Pt being that do NOT underestimate assistant coaches. Belichick has been outstanding for you guys, but Weis/Crenell, especially Weis, has been very valuable to this team. Heck-I'll go one step further and say so was Eric Mangini. The secondary, if anything, played their best football when he was with your team.
I think you remember Weis wrong. Prior to 2004, Weis' biggest knock was the fact he would abandon the run.
You are definitely remembering the 2006 regular season game wrong. Brady threw 35 passes which was one less than Manning did in that game. They also ran it 33 times for 148 yards in that game. Looks to be a pretty balanced offense to me.

This is the problem with the McDaniels' argument. People seem to misremember facts to make Weis better than he was and McDaniels worse.
