The two “cheating” scandals asside, the Pats have done it the way every fan wishes their franchises would. They have a great owner, a great front office, great coaches, and great players. They draft and develop most of their talent and the players buy in and stay. Having probably the greatest QB of all time definitely helps, but from top to bottom they are always the best team in the league and outside of Brady and Gronk they really don’t have much star power. They’ve reached a level of consistency that few sports franchises ever have.
