And where I'm coming from there is Brady, famously not a remarkable prep prospect, had a good, not great college career, actually very similar to like Chad Henney, who came right after him.

Famously 199th pick overall. So there was no indication that he was going to be the savior all-time great quarterback.

Yeah. Okay, go ahead. Yep. There was no indication that he was going to be that great quarterback until he came with Bill Belichick. And he sat for a year, learned of Bill Belichick. Belichick saw the potential, promoted him to backup.

And then week three, or week two, he comes in for Bledsoe. Week three, he is good in 2001. He has big moments. But on the whole, he's not great. And even his first six years, his closest statistical comps are Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson. Good quarterbacks, not great. Patriots defense for those first three Super Bowls, world class. I think one year was first overall. It was always top five.

Brady continued to ascend throughout his career. And it became more Brady dominant in the second half. Once you had Gronk and Edelman and Moss and all that, it became more of a Brady dominant offense. So that's why it's kind of impossible to say it's this, it's that. It's more just this marriage that worked out wonderful for everybody, including me.

So one thing I will concede to you is that Belichick lost his fastball the last, starting in the Eagles, second Eagles Super Bowl. He kind of lost it. But they bailed each other out time to time. The Malcolm Butler interception, you could say that bailed out Tom Brady. And that was a coaching, design, preparation, execution.

And I believe, I'm not sure, but I believe the Seahawks were shut out in the fourth quarter.
