[QUOTE="PikeBadger, post: 882618, member: 8789"] With both of their hall of fame QB’s it had nothing to do with luck. We’ve had excellent coaches in place that developed both Favre and Rodgers. New England - Imo, Belichick has only had average scouts in place when it comes to successful identification of college talent. Where Belichick blows everyone away is in the accumulation and manipulation of draft picks. He’s an absolute genius with no peers in sight with this skill set. He is also without peers in his vision of how all the pieces fit together and his ability to bring in the correct people to fill in the gaps. All the while maintaining a coaching staff that adapts and adjusts to all these changes in personnel. Belichick imo is an organizational genius that he can do all this and never get into cap hell while doing it. Brady - In retrospect, I think his draft status (pick #199) was probably a result of the Gil Brandt? philosophy of scientific analysis of draft prospects that was and possibly still is a popular way of ranking draft prospects. I don’t remember when the draft combine started but the 90’s seemed to be (in my memory) when all these sparq formulas came into vogue. I remember seeing Brady play only a few times in college and thinking to myself, this is maybe the best Big 10 QB I’ve ever seen outside of maybe Tony Eason. I felt he was better than Drew Brees clearly. I was stunned by his performance against Alabama in one of the bowl games. He was a brilliant player and excellent prospect that at least, surely passed the eye test. I make no claims to being a scout, just know what I see. Felt the same way about Randy Moss, Orlando Pace, Charles Woodson and Ndomiinkun Suh. Some guys you just know you’re seeing something very different. edit: We as fans WERE lucky that so many GM’s passed on Rodgers. Thompson cleared his first ever draft pick through Bob Harlan and I bet Ted was both nervous and excited during that quick conversation and reached for his water bottle pacifier. [/QUOTE]
