Tom Brady vs. Bil Belichick became one of the hottest topics in the 2023 season. The controversy started last season, with fans questioning Bill Belichick’s suddenly plummeting records resulting because of Brady leaving the team. Moreover, Brady’s positive affirmations about his coach, paired with Belichick and the Patriots’ parting ways, became a focal point in the schism.

To give a perfect climax to all of this, parts of the recent release ‘The Dynasty: New England Patriots’ on Apple TV+ has given the thrust that the Brady-Belichick controversy has gained. Secrets not widely known before are brought to light, as the fan discovers that Brady had left the Patriots on a sour note with Belichick. This further fueled the fire. So, who would be better than a fellow Patriot himself to clear out the confusion?

Julian Edelman settles the dispute

When asked the ultimate question of who handled the reins at Patriots, Edelman answered the question whose answer the public had been seeking for quite some time. “I always felt it was Bill as a whole and Tom was kind of like the offensive voice. That’s what I felt when I got there,” Edelman highlighted. Hence, the maestro guiding the whole of the team was undoubtedly Bill Belichick, but Tom Brady’s contribution was far more than any player or staff member, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

So, for Edelman, it always was, always would be “Bill’s team with Tommy being the flag carrier of that team.” Along with this, Edelman also shared some inside tips on how Bill Belichick made Tom Brady play better. Addressing the controversy that sparked because of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick getting into a skirmish on-field resurfaced, he said “Bill thought he was doing the right thing uh, and also you know like everyone on that team knew Tom Brady played better pissed off.”
