They make plenty of bad trades and bad picks but because they win people focus on the good. The trade backs don't show who they could have had that may have made them even better.

Well, you're right.  It is much more than simply talent evaluation.  It's a motivation to produce a winner, that starts at the top and resonates throughout the organization.  When they have an athlete that starts grumbling about money, down the road..  When they put time and energy into a player that doesn't live up to what they thought he would, down the road..  When a player doesn't want to play his prescribed role to exact detail, down the road..

Sure, you can say that Brady is the greatest, but is he really?  I'm of the mindset that the Pats could take just about any starting quality QB, and have him perform like Brady in a matter of a couple years. 

Folks hammer Mike Brown for being "budget minded", but they fail to realize that guys like Robert Kraft are budget minded, as well.  League has a salary cap...  Just no room for emotional attachments.
