Bill Belichick Explains The Reason For Giving Tom Brady A Game Ball

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady enters his 20^th season with the New England Patriots, and he is the greatest player of all times. Brady has won more Super Bowls than any other quarterback in the NFL, and he hit the top of almost every list. Head coach Bill Belichick decided to give him the game ball after the 35-14 win over the New York Giants. Brady passed Peyton Manning for second on the all-time passing yard list. It was a pleasant surprise for everyone.

The head coach sad that Brady could get the game ball every week because he breaks a new record on a weekly basis.

“Tom breaks a record every week, so we could really probably give him a game ball after every game. But I think this one for what he’s accomplished in terms of total career passing yards is pretty noteworthy,” Belichick said.

This isn’t the first time Belichick poured praise over his player.

“Tom’s been very consistent throughout the course of his career,’’ he said in one occasion. “I feel like we’re off to a good start in training camp. We all have a long way to go. Tom’s worked hard. He’s put in a lot of time, a lot of work as he always does. He’s very well-prepared. We’re looking forward to just building through the season and continuing to get better on a daily basis.’’

Brady and Belichick have been working together for two decades, and they have established an excellent relationship.

“In (basketball), it’s great because everybody plays offense, everybody plays defense,” Belichick told Coach K. “But in our sport, there’s a division between offense, defense, special teams, and a lot of times it’s hard to pull all those together. But, as a head coach, it’s important to be able to manage those critical situations with your quarterback, your offensive coordinator, your special teams coach, and your defense all together.

“I think Tom and I have spent a lot of time building that philosophy, understanding what we’re each thinking in certain situations, so when they come up, he can anticipate what I want to do (and) I can anticipate what he’d like to do. We try to get the best thing. I’d say we both work at it.

“There’s some things that he sees that I just don’t see, and I think the reverse is true,” Belichick added. “I love football. I love learning about football. I think Tom is the same. I think we’ve learned from each other, and we’ve been able to grow together. I think it’s a thriving relationship that never gets old.”
