That's what I like about this place, you guys are nice enough to just laugh at me while the other Pats fans ignore me. I wouldn't bother on a Boston sports board. I once questioned Chara's toughness sarcastically on ESPN board years ago and nearly got death threats. Can't imagine I'd get intelligent debate on this topic there.

To respond to the above discussion only a little bit; I'd say that you can make the 'Brady is more important' argument without resorting to saying 'Belichick as an idiot and cant coach at all.' I'd also say that their earlier successes in the first few superbowls were not built on Brady, he may have out them over the top, but the foundation was a great defense, and as things progressed Belichick's personal focus shifted to offense. BUT, I also realize we've probably had this exact discussion before and there's no point...

On the other hand, what the fuck else is there to do? We are on a thread for simulated imaginary teams NFL football for fuck's sake...

One angle I don't think we've brought up is the Parcells vs Belichick discussion. Given your take on Belichcik you must thibk the world of Parcells.

I'm a big Parcells fan, we've had this discussion before too, ha. I'm the only one who gives a shit enough to remember, I don't blame you for forgetting. And again, I wasn't making the 'Brady is more important than Belichick' argument, this particular post was specifically about Belichick being overrated in general. As I said the other day in another thread, I don't think BB is a hack, I just think the 'defensive genius' title hasn't been earned; or at least, not on a regular basis.

Agreed the first Super Bowl against the Rams deserves defensive credit-- although they gave up two late scores to tie the game, the Ty Law pick six and they absolutely dominated the Rams receivers as well as the line of scrimmage. Anything after that is dicey. Sure he shut down Peyton a few years, but look at Peyton's playoff record. Everyone beat Peyton. They couldn't stop the Panthers in the 4th qtr of SB 38. Blah blah blah, point is I can think of many examples where the defense has let them down in important games, which shouldn't be the case for a coach with BB's reputation.

I just think Belichick is overhyped, his track record bears that out. It's not like I want Adam Gase or whoever is coaching Cincinnati.
