Is it a 'turn around' if the team stinks after they leave? Did Tom Brady turn the Patriots around? That implies they are going forward now?
Terry Bradshaw.
Steel curtain.
Bradshaw likely fit those teams really well but he wasn't the leader.
Not sure if five years counts as a couple. It absolutely is Tom, and I'm not even a big fan of the guy. The Pats don't win six super bowls without him, who knows if they even win one. Another point that Tom should get more credit than Belichick for the Pats success is that Tom won another super bowl in his first year on a new team and Belichick is .500 post-Brady and has yet to win a playoff game.It’s not Brady. They had Bledsoe who just took them to the Super Bowl a couple years before Brady came in. They were already a good team. Colts were awful before Manning, and the year he missed due to neck injury, they were awful again. Manning is the choice here.
Bradshaw was definitely the leader on offense. He called his own plays.
I guess it sort of goes with it in a way but Brady also had the luxury of playing in a division where the other teams were almost never a threat.Without Purdy on the list for the next 10 straight Super Bowls he's going to lead the 49ers to, the poll is hardly relevant.
Absent that, I'd probably go Brady (ugh) just because he took them from decent to an extreme level for a prolonged period.
