TBs offence is one where they will pass 60 times to win a game and sometimes run 12 straight times because he makes the sacrifice and knows what's best for winning. A winning QB approaching 40 who is getting better and he's also the ultimate teammate, that's the greatest of all time right there.
As far as the system goes, when Cassel took over the Pats weren't even a playoff team. In Belichicks first year as coach Bledsoe led them to a losing record. If Belichick could replace him don't you think he'd go the Patriot way and get another younger QB in there? Pats love to get rid of aging players. Great system, greatest player ever.

I don't question Brady's ability to win the big game or commitment to the team at all. If i'm picking one guy to win me that game, it's probably going to be him. It's the whole GOAT thing I have trouble getting to. I just question (and always have) if we'd think about him the way we do if he was on another team. I look at it this way, if Rogers was on the Patriots instead of Brady would they still have 5 championships, in my mind they probably would. If Brady was on the Packers, would we have have the success he has? I don't think so. I'm fully aware it can be argued either way, that's just the way I feel.
He's my Derek Jeter of the NFL. I know he's great player and a Hall of Famer, but I question if he'd have the lure he does if he played on another team. Not Jeter's fault he played for the Yankees, but I don't think he's the type of player that could take a team from worst to first.
