Is Tom Brady the Best QB of All-Time?

[eyer]

Subjective considerations aside...

...it's difficult disputing objective, gridiron fact:

Brady enters his 13th season as a pro with a résumé already unlike any quarterback who has played the professional game. Four quarterbacks have won multiple Super Bowl MVPs. Four have won three Super Bowls. Two have made five Super Bowl starts. Seven have won multiple regular-season MVPs. Seven have averaged 300 yards passing per game over a season. Seven have thrown 40 touchdown passes in a season.

But the kid from San Mateo is the only one to make every one of those lists. So will he wind up being the best ever? Maybe. But if he gets to that abstract mountaintop, it’ll be a result of a drive that wasn’t born of a desire to become a legend.

I would say top 10 all-time.

Joe Montana #1

In no order
Tom Brady
Peyton Manning
TerryBradshaw
Troy Aikman
Roger Staubach
Dan Marino
John Elway
Brett Favre
Drew Brees

I only started watching NFL football in the mid 70's so didn't include anyone before that.

Top ten. He is a product of the Big House. That tidbit alone should qualify him automatically. Plus he basically came out of nowhere to be one of the best ever. And he has won a few Super Bowls.

Okay.

Tom Brady has one of the hottest wives ever.

Can we maybe just agree on that?

Her name reminds people of something that grazes on grass until it gets eaten by a lion.

The best of his generation, but far from the best of all time.
