You continually say if Brees were like Brady. Nobody else is like Brady. He's the only QB who's been willing to continually take less to stay in the same place, and I think that says more about Belichick and the New England front office being strong willed than it does about Brady. I'm sure they would move on from Brady if he didn't comply to their wishes, just like they've moved on from every other star player who's come through there over the past 15 years.
