Bill Belichick credits Tom Brady for success after ‘Man in the Arena’

While Tom Brady may have left the New England Patriots to frolic in some greener pastures down in Tampa, his name continues to hover over this franchise. Bill Belichick appears to have found his next great quarterback in Mac Jones, but the head coach is continuously showered by Brady questions.

Since leaving New England, Brady has been slightly more outgoing and gregarious than he was during his Patriots tenure. This may have led to the creation of “Man In The Arena,” a “Last Dance”-style show that tells the story of Brady’s journey from Drew Henson’s backup to an NFL immortal.

Even after Belichick ran all over the rival Buffalo Bills on the road on Monday Night Football, he was getting hit with Brady questions due to this show being more popular than ever. Belichick was once again very complimentary of Brady’s impact on the Patriots.

Belichick claims that he has not seen the show, but plans on eventually carving out some time to watch it. Belichick once again took the opportunity to praise Brady for his contributions to the franchise and the game as a whole, claiming that “nobody deserved more credit for our success here than Tom does.”

Bill Belichick is hyped to watch Tom Brady’s show.

The first four episodes of the series have already premiered. Episode 4 takes fans all the way up to the Patriots’ unbeaten regular season in 2007, during which Brady threw an obscene 50 touchdown passes. We’re not even halfway through his career, and we’ve already seen three championships and a new NFL record for TD strikes.

While Belichick had been known as a run-centric coach for most of his tenure, he let Brady air it out to an unprecedented degree to take advantage of Randy Moss. They were one bad half against the Giants away from becoming the best team ever.

Just a couple months ago, Belichick bristled at TB12 questions when the Patriots were gearing up to take on the Buccaneers in New England. We can chalk that up to the team’s slow start and the head coach’s desire to get out of the hole that was dug through the first six weeks.

Nonetheless, once again, Brady and Belichick aren’t nearly as successful without one another. They needed each other for this historic dynasty to take over the record books. We’re just glad we’ve seemingly moved on from all the negative narratives that took over most of 2020.
