Brady opened everything up for him. If Bledsoe never gets hurt, would Brady have ever made the field there, given Belichick's willingness to trade good players? We'll never know, but based on his past actions....
Credit to Belichick to morph into a guy that has evolved his coaching over time. But again, it's all due to Brady. IMO

No it isn't. Let's not be ridiculous. The browns were improving immensely then fell apart when modell sold out the team in bellichicks final year. And he has adapted his scheme from Erhardt Perkins to a spread concept to accommodate Brady, is the only parcells disciple to get rid of two gap and change to a 4-3, and he is by far the most involved and successful as any head coach probably in history at influencing personnel and football operations.
Bellichick isn't overrated. What's overrated is when his staff tries to implement his model elsewhere.
