I lead, you follow.
It sounded like you were giving him a pass bc of the depleted roster........that he depleted.
He doesn’t get credit for making the most out of a mess he created. He is held to a higher standard than Harbaugh(Jim).
Bill felt it was time to move on from Brady and secure their long-term future. Packers did the same thing with Rodgers. Brady moved on to a stacked Bucs team who basically just needed a QB to not turn the ball over.
Gronk retired, then un-retired to play with Brady. Then Edlemen retired and has stayed that way. The roster beyond those two has been a collection of "who?" players that fill certain roles with Brady acting as a brilliant distributor.
I would hardly call the 2 biggest weapons you had retiring something that BB "depleted". Certainly not easy to replace a HOF TE, an elite Z receiver along with one of the greatest QB's to ever play.
I'm not BB fan, but I see another foundation being put down for a team that can sustain long-term success. Their trench play has improved from last year, their secondary is greater than the sum of it's parts and the offense, despite having a rookie and even more "who?" skill players, has been slowly showing improvement over the course of the 1st half of this season. Belichick is a great coach, Brady is one of the best ever. Things two things can both be simultaneously possible and it seems like most people don't seem to understand that.
