Sure, the spread and the option seem like really innovative stuff, but they're adaptiations of old principles. The spread was created by Rusty Russel in 27, and the option was used in college in the early 40's.And not only that, but there's free agency preventing true dynasties to be created. It's almost impossible to create a team with great players everywhere, and the few teams that do, almost immediately lose a lot of those players once they rach success, so they have to consistantly replace them, which is an even harder task.We cannot adapt the achievements to the degree of dificulty they faced. In terms of pure achievements, Lombardi will never be surpassed.But maybe Bellichick is as great as those guys, due to the increased dificulty.</blockquote>
