The answer is in the title.
Tom Brady is the New England Patriot's Quarterback.
Brady is the reasoning behind a lot of the decisions that Bill Bellichek makes and gets away with.
Don't want to pay your outstanding wide receivers? Cut 'em; Brady'll make scrubs look like starters anyway.
Don't want to pay for top-shelf running backs? Enh, get some 2nd tier guys, Brady'll throw enough to open up some running lanes.
Have a 26 year old backup coming up on his second contract? What's that? Brady's got 2-4 more years worth of tread on him?
Cut that unproven backup and draft someone else on the cheap that you can train up to take over once Brady's done for real.
Having a guy like Brady lets you cover up a multitude of sins.
