When he retires everybody including the homers will realize how important he has been to the organization and our fandom. We take him way for granted

Every great coach has needed a great QB to realize their vision, because ultimately you need someone to EXECUTE IT, ON THE FIELD. Otherwise your plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

It's always been like this. Paul Brown had Graham, Lombardi had Starr, Landry had Staubach, Walsh had Montana, and Belichick has Brady. People trying to parse if it's the QB or the coach that make a dynasty are looking at things wrong, because as soon as the forward pass mattered to the game they both became essential.

No other quarterback has two decades where each one is separately a Hall of Fame slam-dunk.

2000-2009 - 3x SB champ, 2x Super Bowl MVP, 1x MVP, 1x 1st Team All-Pro, 5x Pro Bowl
2010-2019 - 3x SB champ, 2x Super Bowl MVP, 2x MVP, 2x 1st Team All-Pro, 9x Pro Bowl

The "best quarterback debate" is 1945 Japan, and Brady dropped two atomic bombs on it.

Funny part is there are those ready to move on to Stidham. LMFAO

His movement in the pocket on Saturday was smooth and precise. He almost ran in for a TD, succesfully blocked downfield, and had a 78% completion rate.
All of this against a top 5 defense while purportedly having an elbow injury. Idc if he's 43 yo, pay the man.

Still more records to break.

e.g. I’d like him to get another Pro Bowl and break the 6 way tie at 14.

Also I’d like him to be first 8 time champion
