are with him. I'd bet a large sum of money that they wouldn't be in the superbowl had Brady not played this year. They would not have been nearly as successful without Brady.

I'm not trying to argue that either would be unsuccessful without each other...that's clearly not true. Belichick would win without Brady and Brady could move to just about any team and rack up wins as well. But neither one would be anywhere near as elite as they are today. They'd just be good, not the top of the elite list. Both are critically important to the recipe.

I do think we agree with each other for the most part...we're probably just splitting hairs at this point.
