The number of Super Bowls Tom Brady will win in his career?

Gisele bails after seeing that lovely 'shopped pic.

Tom will keep winning them if he's playing the Rams each time.
As long as Belichick has the fire and Brady doesn't fall off a cliff talent wise a few more wouldn't be out of the question. I would have loved to have seen Belichick match up against Bill Walsh. Just my guess as a diehard Walsh and Niner fan, Belichick wouldn't be called the "genius" next to the "GENIUS".

Check out the 80's Giants vs 49ers matchups... Those were Belichicks Defenses that gave Walsh fits.

You're definitely on the mark, but the hits that were allowed back then would never pass today. Plus those Giant defenses had All-Pros at every level. Not to mention the greatest defensive player of all time. LT. We still beat them as much as they did us. Those SB 49er teams went up against great teams, can't say that about today and the Pats matchups. One thing to keep in mind, the Pats have had walk offs in their division every year. Zero competition except for a few Parcell Jets teams.
I think he'll fall apart next year. Both Manning and Favre fell apart overnight. He even gets slightly banged's up it's over at 42.
Probably about 37.

I think this was the high water mark for the Patriots (of course I said that about Super Bowl LI, too). Brady is not playing until he is 45. He will naturally drop off before then or get hurt. That defense and running game will need to be able to play as good as they just did in order to carry Brady to another ring.

So true. We aren't even talking about the tuck rule (minus 1 Sb) not to mention the pats videotaping that's what -2 or -3 sb titles. So as good as Brady is he shouldn't be as celebrated as he is. They have had a free bye week pretty much every year and little to no competition in their division and conference besides the occasional pit or colts (not really). M

Also Brady had a horrible Sb this year against an above average defense. Not to mention the first rams win Brady just managed his way to the win. The kicker was clutch and their victories were always what 6 or less until this year?!?!?! Against these incomplete teams. Nothing like the dynasties in the 80s niners wash nyg chi even the rams Denver bills cin were no joke.

People always forget that. Also Montana tourched the #1 defense for 55 points (Denver). I like Brady a lot but he's never dominated a Super Bowl and the ints and fumbles
He's done.

He is so lucky his D bailed him out on this one.
Pats fans think Kale Smoothies will keep brady going for another 10-12 years.

I think one of the burning hypothetical questions in modern nfl lore will be "was it Belichick or brady" and there will never be a true answer

I disagree. I think it's more Belichick. He didn't have success with the Browns but he is in a better position at NE. Yes he has Brady but he also has a better owner and has been playing in a weak division for all those years. Brady's numbers haven't been that great in SB's but the NE defense always seems to come up with big plays when needed.
