Remember, he was drafted in the 6th Round in 2000.  Bruce Coslet was our HC that year. It took 2 injuries for Coslet to realize that Jeff Blake was the best QB on our team. So, assuming Coslet resigns with Brady on the roster, does anyone think that LeBeau would recognize Brady's talent? In all liklihood, Brady would probably languish a few years on our roster and then probably never get a shot with another team because who's going to give a 6th round draft pick a chance that was always a 3rd string QB on a team devoid of QB talent (remember we had Scott Covington and Akili Smith that year).

It's unlikely he would have been the GOAT here, given the example you provided, but that doesn't negate his talent and abilities. 

Given those known talents and abilities, you can't guarantee he would have failed here.
