Having a top 10 defense for 14 years in NE helps Brady's legacy tremendously despite not taking a defensive snap.

People really forget Brady was just a game manager until his 2007 season. Still a great QB, but completion percentage was only 60, less than 4k yards every year almost, basically 14 interceptions a year and 25 TD's a year.

The throw was great, just not a good decision in double coverage. I don't know how someone else could blame Hill for jumping too early on that. It's a ball thrown into double coverage, Bates made a great play.
Also, people are underselling the 2nd down throw that was almost an interception too. Don't know if Robinson had a misread on the route, but that almost ended the game too.
I think this does drop his prices some, but who knows. Plenty still believe in him being up there with Brady/Manning/Montana/etc. Multiple rings and awards and records coming his way.
Maybe his less rare stuff, like base optic, donruss, prizm, take a hit while most of his higher end stuff stays strong.
