Synopsis

A unique and unparalleled look into the nature and relationship of two of the pillars in the NFL's greatest dynasty.

The greatest dynasty in NFL history stood on two pillars – Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Together they forged a working relationship that provided thrilling results that would change the NFL forever.

But what was the nature of that relationship? How did it function? How and when did it falter? How did these two figures come together on a national – and global – stage and create the most dominant team in NFL history? Was it driver and passenger? Mentor and mentee? Superstar and mad scientist? Phenom and tactician? Or were they equals? The Yin and Yang that made the New England Patriots championships possible? It is the greatest unanswered question in NFL history that sparks animated debate across the league, and the answer is more complex and more fraught than anyone really understands.

Brady vs. Belichick: Who deserves the credit for nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl championships?

Veteran NFL insider and New York Times bestselling author Gary Myers draws on his unique and unparalleled access to Belichick and Brady over the course of the two decades, as well as myriad players, coaches, personnel and family, to get to the bottom of this argument and resolve it once and for all. He drills into the numbers, analyzes the psychology and sociology of this partnership, and use the powerful wand of perspective and context to illuminate the greatest duo that has ever graced the game.

I’ve liked Mr. Myers’ football perspectives over the years and just led at the chance to read this when NetGalley offered it. Great access, great storytelling. If you’re a fan, you’ll love this. If you’re a fan of the game (but neither Brady nor Belichick) you should like this. Insights, backstories......more

Goodreads review by Tanner on June 04, 2025

Brady vs Belichick, who contributed more to the New England Patriots historical twenty year run beginning in the early 2000’s?  This is a debate that has been raging on since the two parted ways in 2020.  Some people say thanks to the strong coaching and personnel brought to the table by head coach......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on July 05, 2025

I received an ARC of this fine book through NetGalley. While this book’s title suggests it will be a full-length debate about whether Tom Brady or Bill Belichick was more important to the New England Patriots football dynasty, it is actually a quite comprehensive review of each’s professional accomp......more

Goodreads review by Nana on July 25, 2025

I am not a big football fan, but Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are legends, so when I was offered to read Brady vs. Belichick. I wanted to read it. After reading the book I can understand, with all their accomplishments, why it is hard to decided who was better. The story sticks to the football, and......more

Quotes

"Gary Myers delivers yet again with this fascinating dive into an all-time sports-bar question. Was the perfect system, or the perfect player to run that system, more responsible for the Patriots dynasty? This much is clear: Myers wrote the perfect book for anyone who cares about the pursuit of greatness." -Ian O'Connor, five-time New York Times bestselling author of Belichick

"Twenty seasons. Seventeen division titles. Thirteen AFC Championship Games. Nine Super Bowls. Six Lombardis. One quarterback. One coach. It will never happen again and those of us who lived it can't believe it happened in New England with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. No one in Patriot Nation is neutral on the topic of who did more, which is why pro football insider Gary Myers is the perfect voice to frame the debate. Enjoy.'' - Dan Shaughnessy, New York Times bestselling author, Boston Globe sports columnist

"The most dynamic duo in the greatest sport known to man is always the biggest debate. Tom or Bill? Football is the ultimate team sport so it makes sense it’s not Tom or Bill; it’s Tom and Bill. The game planning and high level execution define the careers of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. The truth about their journey is it wouldn’t be the same without each other. Gary Myers goes behind the scenes to settle the dynasty debate." -Devin McCourty, New England Patriots three-time Super Bowl champion safety

"People from the six-state region of New England, and scores from the other 44 states, will argue for years about who to credit most for the greatest football team of this century. In Brady vs. Belichick, Gary Myers provides the perfect encyclopedia for the debate. What's great about the book, and the debate: There is no definitive answer, just the best compendium of continuing education you'll read about the two men." - Peter King, 40-year NFL chronicler, three-time Sportswriter of the Year
