Pats win alot of these games , before the game even begins. preperation by the coaches is seconed to none.. players are always in the right place to execute to their best...When you see WR's completely open , RB's with big holes to run thru , that's by design , not because of Brady...Same with the defense, they always seem to clamp down on opponents best offensive players...its not by accident...Nobody is disputing Brady being a great QB , but this dynasty does not exist without Belichik… Brady could go to any other team in football and not smell even anything close to this kind of success..
Don Shula was on of the greatest too. What Marino did in his era could have never been done by anyone else. Totally different era today and a million times easier for the QB's. Rule changes over the past 10+ years too. The defenses in the 80's-90's were strong as they could be. Marino only had 2 receivers and no running backs. Everyone knew he was going to throw to one of 2 guys and they could not stop it. Guys like Brady have 5+ players he throws to. Defenses has been gone for years. Can't touch the QB. Brady is the greatest of his era. As for pure QB talent (meaning could have played on any team during any era and done the same from the QB position numbers wise), don't think he hits the top 5. If he wasn't playing for NE, what would he have done for another team. I say not much. Brady is the product of the era, team, coach, worst division of the past 20, and he was gifted many of those games too (calls). Not his fault
Funny story:
My wife (who is not a huge sports fan) ran into Bill Belichick in the LA airport on Saturday, and didn't even know who she was talking to. She was on a business trip, and her boss told her after the fact.
Bill was with his girlfriend Linda Holliday. I asker her why she didn't run him down and ask for a picture or autograph, and she said she didn't want to inconvenience him... which I understand. She
said no one else was hounding him, it was like he was just another guy at the airport.

Look at all the coaches that were under Bilicheck, that have gone on to head coaching jobs to not really have much success. Then look at the couple of times he's had to plug in backup qbs and they've had moderate success. But if I had to choose, I'll see they both fit together as a perfect storm to be so dominant.
Belichick, Belichick, Belichick
And he won two rings before he met TB12, as the defensive coordinator for the Giants.
The Tuna was so impressed with Belichick, he tried to lock him up to be his successor. Thankfully for Pats' fans that didn't work.
Every player, past and present, praises Belichick for preparing them better than anyone else
