Parity be damned, they've had a winning record for 15 years straight. Literally the only team to sniff that kind of success in the salary cap/FA era. I honestly believe you could put the Jaguars in Patriots uniforms and Belichick would somehow get them 12 wins and a deep playoff run. Just makes you wonder what he does that's so different.
Belichick was trending up in Cleveland before the whole move to Baltimore thing happened.
While he is a great coach, a lot of what he has done is predicated on having a HOF QB.
People drone on and on about how he did/does when Brady is out. Sure, he can have short term, great, success without him, but over a longer period of time, things would come back closer to average.
It was a perfect storm of great, HOF coach and great, HOF QB arriving at about the same time.
