Not in the sense Brady is some fiction of a king-making system (he is not), but he is a product of a system that identifies and rewards excellence outside game day. He has benefited from that system in regard to some of the players around him who have played roles in its success. It is a team sport, an no player himself can win titles (if that were true, then Brady would have 18 rings, not 5).
The genius of BB was not drafting Brady (that was pure luck akin to spending $1 on a winning lottery ticket) but demonstrating a willingness to reward that player's practice play with a starting role and displace a high profile starter in Bledsoe. That is the type of risk that gets you fired if it fails, and few head coaches have the balls to do that. Without that leap of faith, we may have never known Brady.
I don't believe there would be a Brady without BB. I am not convinced there would be a BB without Brady (2001 likely would have gone much differently without Brady, as a lesser QB may have tanked the season leaving BB with two consecutive losing seasons).
It is true Brady is less physically gifted than QBs like Rodgers, Newton, Luck, etc., but they are midgets next to him in field IQ, work ethic, leadership, durability, and personal drive. The regular season is not the combine, which is why all of these immeasurable qualities create the success Brady has enjoyed, and why he is unquestionably the GOAT.
