“They’re Both the Best”: Robert Kraft Shuts Down Tom Brady-Dominant Narrative Amid Bill Belichick’s Patriots Exit

Robert Kraft, the CEO of the New England Patriots, has an intriguing outlook on Tom Brady‘s dominant Patriots era! Brady, the Patriots’ leading former quarterback, is well known for his substantial contributions to the team. Following Bill Belichick’s departure from the Patriots after the team’s Super Bowl dream was shattered this season, there has been controversy about Tom Brady’s contribution to the team. However, according to Kraft, another person helped Brady on his journey.

The 7X Super Bowl champion and Bill Belichick have created a legacy during their 20 years together. However, despite his tenure with the Patriots ending, Brady still owes his success to Belichick and regards him as the “best coach,” extending his loyalty and support to the head coach. Kraft joined the discussion and stated his opinion on the Tom-Belichick era, shutting down Tom Brady’s dominant narrative.

Robert Kraft’s take on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady

In the latest press conference from the New England Patriots YouTube channel, the panelists pointed out a burning concern while crediting Tom Brady for the successful tenure of the Patriots, saying, “Robert, there’s been a narrative out there for years that it was all Tom Brady, you know when it comes to what happened in the field.” Then he asked Kraft who contributed more in the past years: Bill Belichick or Tom Brady. Kraft candidly replied, as it’s not the first time he’s encountered this question. He extended his love for the NFL, a team-based sport.

According to Kraft, both Brady’s and Belichick’s collective efforts led to the Patriots’ success in two decades. He said, “I don’t think either one of those two would have accomplished what they accomplished if they weren’t together, and you know, I think they both were the best at their professions, and you know, we were lucky to have them together for two decades.” Interestingly, it’s not only Kraft who thinks so; even GOAT Tom Brady echoes a similar sentiment for Belichick’s effort that aided the team’s success. He emphasized that the Patriots have gained some amazing things under Belichick’s shadow, which are hard to replicate. Furthermore, he highlighted the coach’s dedication to attaining his ultimate goal. On top of that, he believed Belichick was the “best coach in the history of the NFL.” Now, look at some unforgettable achievements of Brady and Belichick’s unbeatable era!
