At best, he'd overcome some of Merv's coaching deficiencies and get us a playoff win or 2, but unless Brady can somehow make the defense and the rest of the team play as well in the playoffs as they had during the regular season, then we're NOT winning the Super Bowl.

It should be clear to anyone with an inkling of football knowledge to see that the problems in the playoffs are a culmination of issues and not relegated to a single player. So while Brady may overcome SOME of those, there's no way he (or any QB in NFL history) could overcome all those or enough to win multiple playoff games in a single postseason and a Super Bowl.

I agree.  There is always a fatal flaw (think not covering TEs, for example) that playoff caliber teams and staffs expose and attack.  We never seem to have an answer.  Dalton has shared some of the blame as well......but to act like there isn't plenty to pass around is shortsighted.
