Okay so I thought this would be a good conversation here.  Who do you feel deserves the credit?
 
One interesting thing is Belichick's record with & without Brady. With Tom, Belichick has a record of 136-39. Without Tom, Belichick has a record of 51-65. Both of them arrived in New England in 2000 though Brady didn't start until 2001.

I went with Brady. Yes the Patriots have been winners but who exactly has Brady had on offense outside of a couple of seasons? As crazy as this may seem I strongly believe Brady is under rated. He hasn't had the same type of weapons as others like Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers yet he continues to be one of if not the best(best IMO) QB's in the league year in and year out. Now sure the Patriots have a good system in place as Matt Cassel enjoyed success, but it was no where near the level of when Brady is playing.

Belichick. The ways he implements his team always seems to be one step ahead of everyone else. From running hybrid defenses, to using TE heavy offenses, to the super fast paced zone offense, BB has always had something innovative to put the Pats on top.
 
 
Obviously having a Top 3 QB of All Time helps a lot, but without Belichick, the Pats wouldn't have NEARLY as much (same goes for Brady though)

Belichick. Brady is incredible, yes, but you can't overlook everything else on the team, how they build through the draft, their defense, their running backs -- Belichick does an excellent job utilizing a heaping of RBs each season and switching between 3 or 4 guys back there, keeping them healthy, and utilizing them all in so many different ways.

a 50/50 scenario if I've ever seen one. I didn't even vote.
