There seems to be a narrative among people here that Brady was not a good QB in the early years. And that the dynasty was defense based.
This is simply not true. Drew Bledsoe was an above average QB, yet with the Patriots lack of weapons, went 5-13 with Belichick.
Brady took over a team most thought was bottom 5 in the league, and went 14-3. Finishing Top 10 in the major passing stats.
In 2002 he led the NFL in TDs, despite not having a 1,000 yard receiver. In 2003 he was third in MVP voting. In 2005 he received MVP and OPOY votes.
All well winning 3 Super Bowls and 2 Super Bowl MVPs.
