So how much did they elevate their team? matched

And you know, how much better does the team get when they join? matched

How much worse does the team get when they leave? matched

I think by that standard, Brady's case even gifts is stronger, right? matched

The Patriots weren't great before he arrived. matched

And then he leaves and we think he's over the hill. matched

He joins the Bucs and all of a sudden the Bucs become great. matched

And I I just think it's, I mean, to me, this is missing from the whole GOAT debate, right? matched
