I like "Both".
yes, that's not as fun, or interesting.
If there's a controversial opinion I have about the Pats' Dynasty, it's that the climate was favorable to the league and to foster the business of marketing that New England region. The Jets are kind of like the Knicks. The NFL almost takes pride in the fact that their market position thrives regardless of divisional standings (Jets are a top 10 valued franchise in the NFL, perhaps close to top-5). The Fins and Bills aren't huge markets, for their own individual, unique reasons.
Kraft, the NFL, and family gave Belichick a shot after he was developing with the Browns. He did an excellent job. Brady wasn't a huge draft stud, but Belichick and co. were smart enough to draft and give him a fair chance. Brady went on with a Montana-like career and overachieved everyone else's expectations.
