Tom Brady attempted to put the debate over who deserves more credit for the Patriots' success – him or Bill Belichick – to rest on Monday night.
Tom Brady of the New England Patriots talks with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and head coach Bill Belichick before the Houston Texans game at Gillette Stadium on Sept. 9, 2018, in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
"I think, for me, there's nobody I'd rather be associated with and I think that from my standpoint, I think it's always such a stupid conversation to say ‘Brady vs. Belichick’ because in my mind that's not what partnerships are about," Brady explained."Coach couldn't play quarterback and I couldn't coach. The best part about football is, and coach says it a lot, ‘Do your job.’ And he asked me to play quarterback. He didn't ask me to coach.
"So, you know, once they write all the nice things and championships and this and then they just start going, ‘Well this works, let's start trying to divide them.’ I never really appreciated those ways that people would try to do that.
