I don't think so. I think Joe Montana and Peyton Manning were better QB's.
And neither of them cheated.
YR
So you would be one of the bitter/jealous ones.
Peyton to Brady is laughable so I wont even bother with that one.
Montana is definitely #2.
Montana was surrounded with so much talent it wasnt even fair. And he didnt have the longevity as Brady. 8 SB's with 5 wins beats anything close to what Montana had.
Brady's win yesterday with who? a couple pint size white guys and a no name defense. Didnt even have Gronk and it didnt matter. Even his kicker failed him. Missed an extra point. Best comeback of all time.
Its rather foolish to try and debate it.
Edelman is a quality receiver. But the fact is that time and time again, the Patriots defense comes to the rescue. Outside of Manning's last season in Denver, his defenses were always pretty lousy and he had to carry the entire team. Reggie Wayne without Peyton wasn't Reggie Wayne anymore. The same with Dallas Clark. The same with any of the O-Linemen that left.
Meanwhile, Brady had the greatest slot receiver of all time, the greatest deep threat WR of our generation and probably the most impressive athletic TE of all time. Montana had Jerry Rice who was phenomenal and a Roger Craig who isn't even in the HoF. And dominated in every Super Bowl performance in an era where the rules didn't greatly favor the offense.

Laughable all of it.
Greatest slot receiver of all time? LOL Wow how amazing.
Greatest deep threat? Who was that Moss? When he was over the hill and only for a couple years. You act like he had all these guys together over the last 10 years.
Roger Craig? LOL
Are you saying White is better than Craig? Is white going into the hall of fame?
And this "most impressive TE of all time" guy. Did he play last night? Or are you talking about Martelles Bennett?
He had Gronk for one SB title, thats it.
Rathman, Clark, Rice, Roger Craig, John Taylor.
Hogan, edelman, Bennett, White, other small white receiver
You want to debate that supporting cast?
# of Superbowls played=Brady 8 to 4
Most SB's won=Brady 5 to 4
Most passing yards in a SB=Brady 466 yards
Biggest comeback in the SB=Brady 25 points
The only thing Montana remotely has over Brady is that he never lost a SB.
Dont be bitter.......just acknowledge the greatest and most clutch player of all time. Its a shame certain jealous, biased fans cant enjoy the incredible Tom Brady.
I'm not bitter.
I just don't believe Tom Brady is the greatest QB of all time. You seem bitter just by my mere opinion that is different from yours.
And he and his coach did cheat.
YR
Talking about the deflated ball cheating thing is what people bring up when they dont like Brady or the success of the patriots.
As a pure fan of the sport you have to appreciate how incredible the guy is and what he has accomplished with all the changes every year to the offense and his team overall.
Deflating a ball a little. Who cares? Even if he did it. Which I 100% think he did. But again, who cares? Probably the most minor, inconsequential offense you could ever possibly do in football. Dumb rule anyway. My take is that the rule was made for kickers and not even for QB's.
Chicken and egg. They don't like the Patriots and Brady because they continually cheat. Don't cheat and they wouldn't be hated as much. Joe Montana and the Niners were WILDLY successful. They were part of the rivalry so I 'hate' them in that sense, but I never hated Joe Montana. He was just incredible. And better than Brady.
I respect his talent and Belichick's ability to coach, but I do take intentional cheating very seriously.
Warren Sharp's analysis of fumbles per play during the time that the NFL changed the rule (along with Brian Burke's analysis backing up Sharp's) has to make you wonder.
I think you would agree that Belichick is the smartest of football coaches (which is like being the best tasting urinal cake in all of the urinals).
I would think that Belichick cheating and Brady cheating...they would do it for what they believed is a good reason.
And I think of the teams that lost Super Bowls to them (like the Rams where it was apparent that they spied in on their practice) and my level respect for them as people is less and less.
Either way, I still don't think he's the greatest QB of all time. I think Montana and Peyton were better. I think Elway had the greatest all around skills of a QB I've ever seen. Brady was much more effective, but Elway had absolute crap around him that would make Danny Amendola look like Lance Alworth.
YR
Brady is hands down the GOAT
There is 100% absolutely no debate anymore what so ever. Anyone that says differently is either completely biased or just bitter and jealous.
Yes sir....there's some irrational hate going onNot even debatable. But as we can see, there are still some that are bitter towards Brady and the Pats that cant admit it.
theres somewhat of a debate but not much, I mean Montana and Brady are the top tier of gold standards for QBs in the NFLNot even debatable. But as we can see, there are still some that are bitter towards Brady and the Pats that cant admit it.
That may be true, but I'm still not obligated to like seeing his stinking face. j/k
I could care less about the deflating or the spying. Inconsequential to the debate that Brady is the best QB and player ever.
You may not like like him, but to deny that he is the best at this point is fodder.
And to imply that there are 3 others better than him is about as laughable as it gets.
