I could have sworn it was BB that drafted Brady, helped develop him and created the game plans to maximize his strengths. He gets credit for Brady's success so I really do not understand how we could bifurcate importance. Brady did not come into the league like Jordan or LeBron and was going to be a superstar no matter what. BB is certainly not magical and just like every coach in every sport he needs great players to be successful. If Andy Reid retires at end of year I doubt we'd anoint his replacement as a top coach just because he'd likely win 11+ games with the talent on that roster nor kill Harbaugh if he takes over the Jets and wins 5 games. Context matters. BB took over a bad Browns team and was moving them in the right direction before Modell happened. I do not dismiss his record there but also do not use it as a hammer any more than I would label Bill Parcells as average for going 32-32 in his 4 years with the Patriots.
I love Brady and he is the GOAT but without BB acquiring the right talent for the right price and developing brilliant game plans this run would have been much less. They both needed each other for this run to happen.
