Belichick on Belichick - and how he is better after Cleveland - great proof of how much better he thinks he is.
For just an instant - take the magical pick off his team and reinsert Bledsoe - who might feel he received the Cleveland treatment. And now how wonderful does Belichick think he is.
Don't be a hater. As good as Brady is now, remember he played the Trent Dilfer role during the first Super Bowl (145 yards passing against the Rams). That team won with defense and with Antowain Smith as the featured back and David Patten as a starting wide receiver. Belichick made the 3-4 vogue and along with Scott Pioli has presided over some of the best war rooms in the last 5-6 drafts. You don't walk away with Richard Seymour, Matt Light, Deion Brnach, Jarvis Green, Ty Warren, Eugene Wilson, Asante Samuel, Dan Koppen, Vince Wilfork, Ben Watson, Marquis Hill, Logan Mankins, Ellis Hobbs, Nick Kaczur, Lawrence Maroney, and Ryan O'Callaghan on accident all the while stockpiling picks for future drafts. He's also cut fan favorites like Lawyer Milloy, Joe Andruzzi, and Willie McGinest and lived to tell about it.
