And/or that he perhaps has gotten a little too much credit for winning championships with superior teams surrounding him and a superior head coach on the sidelines for most of his career ........ somewhat similar to Bill Russell in basketball, who almost always had superior teams surrounding him when his Celtics faced off against Wilt Chamberlain's Warriors, 76ers, and Lakers in the post-season.
This season is an example of Brady getting just a taste of what truly great quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Dan Marino had to go through when they would often almost singlehandedly carry average teams into playoff contention, and then get harshly judged and critiqued by the dumb-asses who view winning championships as the ultimate definition of how great a player is/was.
