Without Brady, he’s 62-73 with one wild-card playoff win for Cleveland, where he went 37-45 in five seasons.

Pro sports bettors Jeff Whitelaw and Erin Rynning also give the edge to Brady.

“First off, I believe Belichick is the best coach in football. But I believe players win championships,” Whitelaw said. “If you have a great coach, but he doesn’t have the horses, he’s not going to be as great. It’s almost like the chicken and the egg, which comes first.

“If you said who was more responsible, I would say Brady. But it’s not that clear-cut. If you take Belichick out, they certainly don’t win as many Super Bowls. It was really a fantastic combination. If I had to put a percentage, I might say it was 55 percent Brady and 45 percent Belichick.”

Rynning (@ersports1) said Brady’s dedication and leadership and the evolution of the passing game is “obvious evidence that it’s more the quarterback than the coach in the modern NFL.”

The AFC title game is a perfect example. The Chiefs are 3-point favorites over the Bills, but would be sizable underdogs if Patrick Mahomes is ruled out.

“If Mahomes was 100 percent and Andy Reid didn’t coach, the line might go from 4 to 3½,” Westgate sportsbook vice president of risk Ed Salmons said. “If Mahomes doesn’t play, you’re looking at Buffalo close to a touchdown favorite, a line move of nine points.”

Team Belichick

That said, Salmons and William Hill sportsbook director Nick Bogdanovich give Belichick more credit for the dynasty.

“They needed each other,” Bogdanovich said. “You’ve got to have good coaching and quarterback play. You can’t have one or the other.”

Another chapter in the debate will be written next season when Tampa Bay visits New England.
