  • This happens anytime anyone who had a ton of success starts going downhill. There’s a lot of “he never had it, was carried by _____”. Unless you’re a Barry Sanders who retires in prime, it’s going to happen eventually.

    The Patriots dynasty couldn’t possibly ever be just one player. Hell, Peyton Manning has displayed about the level of skill Brady has, but could never pull off the postseason results, and you can’t chalk that up to one being a winner and the other not.

    It’s easy to forget BB’s genius when he’s struggling now but he’s done a hell of a lot of genius things that helped lead that team to the success they had. Would people still be saying all this if Brady hadn’t won a SB somewhere else? Probably not. But that shouldn’t affect anything, because that team was also well-coached and had a lot of things going well for it. It’s silly to let something after the fact erase all of what people saw in that team and BB’s role in their success.
