I wouldn't rule them out of anything right now as there's still plenty of options. They did go 12-4 last season with Brady playing at a non-elite level. They could sign a guy like Newton or trade for a QB. Even if they draft a young QB it could take years to get him up to speed where they could contend which doesn't fit the timeline of the defense they have built as well as Belichick's age. The only QB I don't see as a possibility is Winston because I don't think Belichick could stomach the turnovers.
