Is it Brady success and how incredible he's been taken the league by storm?

Or Bill Belichick, the greatest coach of all time, struggling without him?

Clearly, it's Bill Belichick, and Brady has looked very good.

But everyone anticipated double digit wins for this team.

I was the one thing I don't know.

If it's nine or 10 everyone else is telling me at least 10.

In fact, they should be favored in the division before they added Antonio Freaking Brown.

Are you kidding me?

On?

Brady has looked good, but by the way, they have two losses on the season.

I could replace Brady with not just a few, but ah, lot of quarterbacks who have two losses on this Bucks team and the rest wins.

Let's be honest, like Nick Foles is struggling in Chicago behind a porous offensive line.

If you put him on these bucks, would he be as good as Brady?

No, but he beat Brady this year with that poor offensive line, right?

Like he'd be doing just fine.

Ah, lot of mid kind of Midland quarterbacks would be just fine.

Recall Ryan Fitzpatrick put up a couple of years ago, like 40 points a game for a little while before they had this defense and once again before adding Antonio Brown, who is sure to make a difference as long as he's on the field.

No, Brady is doing, I think, better than I anticipated.

But what a lot of people anticipated, he dio.

Did we think the Patriots would fall apart?

Fall apart, you know, and I brought up the fact that camp when he said, If this is a must win game, you can't fumble the ball with a chance to win.

Right?

Like that is on camp goal line stand they made in Seattle against the Patriots to plays and the Patriots Air four and three with riel quality wins.

But that's not the case right now.

And it is the fact that Cam didn't come through when Patriots Sands are used to seeing Brady come through.

So that that is all true and it makes Brady look good.

But we all acknowledge Brady put himself in a great position.

What about Bill Belichick?

What happened to the magic, right?

Like, you know, Bill Belichick always figured out a way to make it work, not this year.

Not so far, right?

And then you look at what?

Especially because of what Mike Tomlin did last year when he didn't have a quarterback.

He went 88 Mike Tomlin went eight and eight without a quarterback without a second string quarterback.

Sometimes that a third string quarterback, he went 88 And what's Mike Tomlin now that he's got his quarterback back undefeated?

That really shines a light on Belichick Now, you might say.

Yeah, well, they traded for Mika Fitzpatrick during the season, and he made a big difference.

Okay, that's true.

Belichick is also the G m.

He's not just the coach, he's also the GM.

So people like Stephen A or point out Bill Barnwell will point out, um, you know, look, they could have had Metcalfe Instead, they have McKeel Harry.

That's pretty bad.

You could have had, uh, nick job instead of you had Sony Michelle.

That's bad.

Neither one was available by the way.

But that's really Belichick because he wears both hats, GM and coach, and the biggest story is the great Bill Belichick.

Maybe the greatest coach in the history of American team sports is having a losing season the first time Tom Brady is off the team.

It's the bigger story.

It's not the biggest story, but I understand that you're doing a marvelous, marvelous impression of Fred Astaire, Michael Jackson, M C Hammer.

Whoever the hell you're being, you're being incredibly.

What what What I'm saying is, Ryan is that this is the well, well, well, you know you, actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem.

No problem.

I'm the Ah League um Ali, the comment on your looks.

I don't flow like that.

But the point is this.

Here's the reality.

Very Max Max, Max Max, Max Kellerman.

Max Kellerman has taken that position because Max Kellerman is the one that was highlighting Tom Brady being a finished product or just a jag, a jag, Just just a guy.

And suddenly the guy.

Suddenly we've learned that is not the case.

All right, Tom Brady.

Clearly, it's his success, and I'll tell you why.

It's almost by default, even though he's thrown for 369 yards in two games this year, even though he's playing lights out even though he's only got four interceptions at this point in the season for the Buccaneers, compared to James Winston's 14 interceptions after seven games last year.

Here's the reality of the situation.

The reason why it's so.

It's so Maura about Brady success than Belichick struggles is because if we have ah, heart and we have any modicum of decency, we have to look at what Bill Belichick is dealing with here.

You had your facilities closed on several occasions before the season even began.

About eight or nine different defensive players wouldn't even show up toe work this season because of covert 19.

Your star quarterback comes down with Corona Stefan Gilmore, arguably the best quarterback in football, came down with something, and then now he's out with an injury is well, so when you look at all of those things that are going on, you're really looking at Bill Belichick and be like, Damn, this is a damn shame.

That's how you look at Bill Belichick because it's like, Yo, what is he supposed to dio?

I don't care how great job and we know how I feel about Mike Tomlin and there are other good coaches in the league as well.

If you have to shut down your practice facility on numerous occasions lose your starting quarterback, your elite quarterback and nine different players don't even show up toe work because of covert 19.

It's like, Damn, it's almost not even fair to judge them at all when it comes to, you know, the overall record as a head coach, I could look at cameras, an individual player that's been playing well enough to win a game and say he did it closed on that particular moment.

What I can't do is look at the coach who is an overseer and has a multitude of responsibilities on his shoulders.

And all of this stuff that's non football related prevents him from even practicing, for crying out loud.

The kind of stuff that New England has gone through this year is why I say Brady's success is more of a story, because the struggles of Belichick may not necessarily be because of Belichick, but Tom Brady and Tampa and have a at uh, I fou.

I don't even know what show I'm on.

Like I knew I was coming on here to see Stephen A.

Smith, Max Kellerman, Molly que.

But maybe I wasn't because I hear is excuses, excuses, excuses, you know Usually when you come on this show, Stephen is criticized, criticized, criticized.

I don't know who you are, Thio.

Actually, I'm very nice, most of the supplies to say so myself with with with Tom Brady going to Tampa Bay, here's what we thought we thought he'd be good.

The fact that maybe he's been a little bit above what people thought that maybe a little bit of a story, but we expected this team to win.

People picked this team that have Super Bowl opportunities.

Some people picked this team to win the NFC South, so we knew that this team will be good.

So seeing them at five and to seeing Tom Brady within 18 to 4 touchdown to interception ratio is not really.

It's not really surprising to us because we knew they had weapons that we knew he protected the ball.

That makes sense to me.
