Sure, it seems easy to name Brady as New England’s most important player, but it’s true. The whole operation runs through Brady and Bill Belichick. Obviously, the Patriots have no shortage of talent on the rest of their roster, but there’s no replacing what Brady brings to the table, and New England wouldn’t have won any of those Super Bowls without him.

Of course, Brady will be 42 by the time the season starts. We keep expecting there to be a meaningful drop-off in his performance, but it hasn’t come just yet. If this is the year it finally comes, the Patriots won’t be the same team. Then again, no one should be holding their breath when it comes to Brady and the Pats being Super Bowl contenders.
