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. What did I say when we talked about Parcells before? I have no recollection. I was going to say here that he is probably best judge of coaching talent if you go by the success of his coaching tree, and that he clearly thought especially highly of Belichcik. Have you seen that 30 for 30 The Two Bills? It was pretty interesting. I think it was actually me Rey had that discussion with. Or at least one of them. I remember it well; my argument was brilliant. His was awful.
