Superbowl LIII is in the books and the New England Patriots have won another one.  The sixth one to be exact and all in the past seventeen years.  All with Head Coach Bill Belichick and all of them with Quarterback Tom Brady at the helm.  The sixth win as a head coach and quarterback has re-started the debate of who is the greatest of all-time.  Most people agree that Belichick is the greatest of all-time as Head Coach, while the connunndrum of who is the G.O.A.T. at quarterback still is debated by the experts.

Outside of Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw, both the Head Coach and Quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steeler’s Dynasty in the 70’s that won four Superbowls in five years, no other duo can say the same.  Personally, I believe, there is no Belichick without Brady as there is no Brady without Belichick.  Neither has won without the other and there is no way for one to be elevated above the other unless and until they can either win one without the other being there or win somewhere else.  It is all then about the competition against each of them.  If that is the case, then they both are clearly the Greatest of All-Time for their respective posititons as no Coach nor any Quarterback had the success they have had in the playoffs and Superbowls.  

Statistically there are coaches that have had more success in a single year or quarterbacks who have thrown for more in a given year.  But at the end of the day,  it is always who wins the Superbowl that year and not much more else is remembered from it. As time marches on less is remembered from the actual year of play and only who made it to the Superbowl and more importantly who won it.  

The New England Patriots have won Six Superbowls, only the Pittsburgh Steelers can match that number.  However, the Patriots did it with only one Head Coach and one Quarterback during it’s six wins.  Hands down, those two are the G.O.A.T. until someone else can match at least that feat.  

I plan on putting together a series of articles detailing the greatest of all-tme at their respective positions but this needed to be put out there before all else.
