Colin Cowherd Delivers Message For Patriots Fans About Tom Brady, Bill Belichick

Colin Cowherd delivered a message for the New England Patriots regarding Tom Brady and his decision to retire. Cowherd made some really shocking comments, and yes, it has something to do with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

There was growing speculation that Brady will retire in the offseason. He waited for a few days before confirming his decision. The greatest quarterback of all time thanked each and every person in his life except for the New England Patriots. He didn’t mention head coach Bill Belichick and his Patriots teammates. He didn’t mention Robert Kraft either.

“I’m not going to try to validate Belichick or Brady or (Robert) Kraft — they’re all A-plus-plus-plus,” Cowherd said Thursday on FS1. “And can we just come to terms with this: that Belichick and Brady really matter to each other. And in the end, they liked working together.

“You don’t go with anybody for 20 years — Shaq (O’Neal) and Kobe (Bryant) at some point didn’t like each other, so much so they broke up a dynasty. The Lakers were the best franchise, they had the best team, they had the best coach, and they drove each other so nuts they broke up. Like, that’s not getting along. If you can go 20 years with somebody, I don’t care of it’s a marriage or a football coach, you get along fine.”

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick needed each other…

Tom Brady won his best Super Bowl with Bill Belichick

Cowherd went on talking about the impact Brady and Belichick had. He explained that Brady was successful early in his career because he was working with Belichick. Later in Brady’s career, Belichick was successful just because he was coaching Brady. Simple as that. Does this make sense to you?

“And let’s be honest about Brady and Belichick here: Tom early in his career would not have been as successful as he was without Belichick,” Cowherd said. “And then later in Tom’s career, Belichick would not have been as successful as he was without Brady.”

Brady won his sixth ring in 2018. He and Belichick joined forces to take the Patriots to the Super Bowl and beat the Los Angeles Rams.

“The 2018 season was a perfect balance, and it really shows and illustrates what the relationship was,” Cowherd said. ” … The greatest example of a season that proved how valuable each was is 2018 playoffs.”

“In a two-game stretch, you saw the greatness of Brady when Belichick couldn’t stop (Patrick) Mahomes (in the AFC Championship Game), and two weeks later, you saw the brilliance of Belichick when Tom couldn’t get anything going (in Super Bowl LIII),” he added. “That sums it up. Early, Bill gets credit. Late, Brady gets credit. And 2018 — the big Super Bowl, the Chiefs, the Rams — they split it up. Can we just stop worrying about who thanks who and who goes to Instagram. Boston fans, get over it.

“He thanked you already. And Belichick haters, he’s the best coach in league history. We all good with that now? Can the snowflakes stop? Can the outrage stop? Are we all good with it now?”
