It's been well documented, yes, he would've. They thought so highly of Brady they kept him on the roster as the 4th QB in his rookie year (2000). The following season he was promoted to backup. After week one, reports were that Belichick was considering benching Bledsoe (and Belichick has a history of it, having replaced favorite son Bernie Kosar in Cleveland with Vinny Testaverde).
You all keep throwing "Patriot way" around like its a swear. The "Patriot way" is three things: Kraft, Belichick, Brady. Everyone else has proven to be useless and false... coaches (Mangini, Weiss, Crennel, McDaniels), players (all failures post-N.E. save Vinatieri), and especially Pioli.
