Right, that was when they still had the team that went 18-1. Dont get me wrong, im not saying he sucks. But this genius talk is bull****. Ill tell ya who geniuses are, Shula and Walsh, those guys are geniuses. Shula went to what, 6 SB? With what,4 er 5 different QB? Walshis directly responsible for what 5 SB? With what 2 different QB? That's genius. Those 2 built good to great teams with multiple QB.
Belichick took a team pretty much built by Parcells and blind lucked into Brady, that's not genius, its beung in the right place at the right time. Now if the Pats are still perennial contenders after Brady quits, thats when ill say he's a genius, but as of now i consider him a good coach who lucked into one of the all time great QB and rode the coat tail.
