In 2007 3 receiver set score as many points as possible, downfield passes to Randy Moss. In 2012 Two tight end set (when they were healthy) and run the ball and run as many plays as possible. I think their offense changes based on their personal a lot.

Good points.. What prompted me to believe that Brady has the advantage of staying in same offense is right after the year Cassel played as Chief in his first year. Cassel looked like a decent QB that could improve within time in NE until he was traded to Chiefs and he didn't looked same as he was in NE. This is something that have been debated before and will always be. I guess all we can do is share our opinions.

For the offense changes on NE through out time, of course the offense have to change from time to time or otherwise all other 31 teams will be able to stop them. But I believe think the changes are not that big, just different players running same routes from different positions. Just like Redskins offense, they give you lot of looks but routes are similar.
