So do you think Billy was out on the field working with Brady on his footwork? You think Billy was in the film room helping Brady prepare? Abd you are right, finding a franchise qb is damn hard, and the coaches that luck out and get one all of the sudden become "Great,"coaches. Watch... that Houston coach is about to start climbing the rank of "Great,"coaches pretty soon.
Strangely, Brady left and went to a team that hadnt made the playoffs in 11 seasons and immediately won a Super Bowl. He left said team and they are right back to stinking again.
Billy.... without the qb is just another guy. His current team is one of the worst in the entire league.
The whole narrative around Bill & Brady is mind bendingly strange to me.
Bill took a perennial loser & turned them into the greatest dynasty in sports history and kept that ship afloat for 2 decades by being fanatical about details regarding coaching, scouting, scheme & strategy. While also making all the personnel decisions.
Brady is obviously a tremendous player & competitor but he has always acknowledged Bill teaching him how to understand the game.
Brady goes to a team that has a good core and they go "all in" to win with him. Then, everything doesn't go right for them & they fail.
Bill is forced to start over at the games most important position while trying to turn over a big chunk of the roster. Not every decision works out golden. At some point, the dynasty had to end.
Together they overcame obstacles neither could have on their own.
Nothing since they parted ways changes either of their accomplishments, skills, talents, genius. Time simply moves on.
