Belichick is a great teacher and brilliant defensive mind, but there's nothing special or innovative about the offense he runs except Tom Brady. If we were talking 3 championships to 2, or 2 championships to 1 or something like that, fine, I'd concede not to die on that hill. 5-1, sir. 5-1. Conference championships, 8-1. At the end of the day, the most important QB stats are wins and championships, and that's where Brady pulls away.

By this logic Eli Manning is a better QB than Brees or even Tony Romo or most player to ever play QB. To act like the Patriots are a collection of scrubs is laughable. They don't always have the star power, but they are generally a deeper team than most and it is a big reason they have had their success. That and the defense has been great more often not, just like the years Eli got carried to SB wins.
