Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Hands down. This is coming from a Baltimore Ravens fan. Let us take Tom Brady out of the equation the past 15 years. Would the Patriots have won rings in 2001, 2003, 2004 and in 2014? We will never know, probably not but those teams still had legendary defenses and coaching staffs. The question I ask today is does 4 games with this superbowl winning team really make a difference in the long run? Will Tom not being there for 4 games impact the whole year? Will they really go 0-4? Please note they are versing Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Jacksonville and then a bye week followed by Dallas. Like come on already. I truly think the Patriots should have no problem finishing 2-2 or even 3-1 during these 4 games.
