Let me start by saying I've never said Brady and the Pats were anything but great. But I find it very funny that this game somehow solidifies Brady...
This game, to me at least, showed me how amazing of a coach Belichek is. He didn't go get a bunch of name players at half time... He literally just changed what he had and completely shut the Atlanta offense down for almost 3 quarters... Something no one could do all season.
Brady on the other hand was trying his hardest to throw the game away. If Brady didn't have the luck of the gods we would be singing a completely different tune right now. He threw 3 sure fire picks that would be intercepted in any other game. And if Edelman didn't completely bail him out not once but 4 separate times in the 2nd half we would also be seeing a completely different result. Its such a shame that the NFL and all who watch it are so enamored with the QB because the MVP of that game (as far as players) was Edelman. He fought the entire ATL defense pretty much the whole night and still came out on top with a miracle catch to boot. Almost identical to Manning's supposed super bowl MVP performance which is also a shame since he wasn't all too special in that game either.
This superbowl if anything to me showed how truly blessed Brady is. He has the perfect luck with the best coach to ever grace the field. It also helps that he is quite talented himself. But if this somehow cements his legacy for you... that is quite sad as he wasn't anything special (this night) in fact I'd say he was almost detrimental, but of course the winner gets to write the tale.
Edelman wasn't the MVP, White was. And, Edelman had a bit 3rd down drop early.

Belichick is without a doubt the greatest coach of all time. Period. Brady just has the luxury of having that type of coach and system. If you put Brady in a vertical style offense he wouldn't have near the success. You cannot deny his accomplishments but greatest ever? Talent wise I don't believe he's top ten. If I were building a team and you gave me a choice between Montana, Peyton, Marino, Moon, Elway or Brady without Belichick. I'm taking every one of them before Brady. Is he greatest based on Championships? Sure. But it's a team sport and his teammates and coaches play a lot into that. It's says something about a system that has yet to have a backup QB fail in it too.
Talent-wise, Ryan Leaf was leaps and bounds better than Peyton. What happened there? And, if you took Ryan Leaf and put him under BB, he still would have stunk. A QB (along with every other position/job) needs drive and a will to be great.

Without BB, Brady would be Jay Cutler but with a much weaker arm.

Anyone have any clue what he's really going to do in the near future? There's no way he's going to be an analyst of any sort - requires too much fawning over current QBs and there's no way Peyton would be up for that.
