The ONLY Brady-Belichick debate you need to watch

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady made the Patriots the Patriots.

The former star quarterback and famed coach oversaw countless wins and stadiums packed with obsessed and adoring fans — but one of the two was more responsible for their unbelievable success.

“I always thought Belichick, no question,” Jason Whitlock says.

“I’m now sitting here going, that culture that was so important to them, it can’t happen without Tom Brady.”

According to Whitlock, Brady “set the tone for that culture,” and it no longer exists without him.

While Belichick is considered the best coach of all time by football fans everywhere, Brady’s assistance was vital to his success.

“It kind of hammers the point of, again, like damn, the players actually do win the games,” Whitlock continues.

Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre believes they both play a massive part.

“I think the combination,” he tells Whitlock, before noting that if your star player refuses to listen, it will be a lot harder to get his teammates to listen as well.

While Favre thought it was both, Marshall Faulk thinks it’s one: Brady.

“It’s Brady,” Faulk says, adding that “in the beginning it was Belichick.”

“Brady allowed Bill to be Bill, and at some point in time, your quarterback gets to a level to where the coach then gives the quarterback the autonomy to kind of have access to the team,” Faulk explains.

Brian Urlacher is in agreement.

“For me it’s easy, it’s Brady,” Urlacher says. “I played for a great head coach in Chicago,” he continues. “We didn’t win a Super Bowl. We got there and lost because we didn’t have the quarterback, we didn’t have that piece to our puzzle.”
