No, Dalton probably doesn't have five, either.....maybe none.  However, when the Pats had guys like Dillon, Moss, McGinnest, Bruschi, Revis, etc, etc, he'd probably have at least played in a Bowl or two.

This past Super Bowl is an interesting look into coaching....the Falcons staff shit the bed on that one, and Belichick and Brady took advantage.  Of course, all those years of experience don't hurt Tom any either.  You also gotta factor in that Vinatieri (sp?) saved many a game for the Pats as well over the years.

I dunno man, I've watched Son of Paul's clown show for one too many years to have any visions of grandeur regardless of who's under center.  Hell, even Boomer couldn't get us into the playoffs at one point, and that guy was still putting up single game records in those days.

Dalton may not have any rings if he were the QB in New England (he certainly would have a few playoff wins), but I guarantee you that Brady would certainly have none if he were here. 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.
