Tom Brady saga is ultimate test for “In Bill We Trust” truthers

There’s been a popular maxim in New England for about two decades now: “In Bill We Trust.”

Quite simply, it means that no matter how good or bad a job we as fans think Bill Belichick is doing as head coach and de facto general manager of the Patriots, we need to trust that he knows exactly what he’s doing.

After all, he’s the third-winningest head coach of all-time at this point, trailing only Don Shula and George Halas. He has more Super Bowl rings than anyone else on earth, and he’s widely regarded as the greatest head coach in NFL history.
