Not a hater. I just simply don't hold Bill up in efigy like so many others around here. Bill is a good coach with an excellent defensive mind. At the beginning they made each other, but then Brady carried them both through both his play on the field and his locker room leadership.
ESPN? OK
Then refute it. All I'm saying is Bill benefitted enormously by having a stud QB like Brady for 20 years. He avoided all the pain and energy of having to deal with the drama, training, trades, & drafts, of the most important position on the TEAM, the QB. He basically had a 20-yr competitive advantage over the other 31.
Tampa? Brady won a SB his very 1st yr with Bruce Arians as HC. If that doesn't say it's 75% QB / 25% HC, I don't know what does.
Agree, except Bill doesn't last till 2002 with Bledsoe, so in a way Brady saved his HC career. And Brady would've succeeded anywhere outside NE as we already saw w/ the Suckaneers.
Post #147 is just conjecture from your part. I'm not talking about just 2019. This began years prior, when Brady wanted a long term contract extension and was continually stalled.
