    And, I have had this argument with Z and others. Check this out....players with similar careers as Tom Brady:

    sDan Marino*, John Elway*, Fran Tarkenton*, Brett Favre, Joe Montana*, Peyton Manning, Steve Young*, Dan Fouts*, Ken Anderson

      Theonly guy on that list that has anywhere near the career as Brady is Montana.

      The rest are on another lower level, even Elway

        The way I look at is this............

        If your team is in the Superbowl, what QB do you want on your side?

        Montana is 1 and Brady is 2

        3rd isn't even close and is a toss up between numerous guys

          This is laughable. Tom Brady and Joe Montana.

          That's it.

            Well, that is only if you are counting rings. Elway played in 6 SBs, same as Brady.

            I think titles are a component....but not the be all end all.

            Of course, if we are counting titles....and measuring who is the best of all time.....then the answer is simple:

            It is Otto Graham.

            Next is Bart Starr

            And if you are just counting rings during the Super Bowl era.....then you have to Include Terry Bradshaw with Brady and Montana.

                I watched both parts of that Browns Jets came.. I realize this was 45 years ago,, But if anyone watched.. You just had to be impressed with how well schooled Blanton Collier had everyone. I mean.. I was pretty amazed at all of the line shifting they did.. It was almost like orchestrated ballet. Both Namath and Nelson were dynamite passers.. too bad both of they're knees were shot by then.. but the zip on thier passes were incredibly crisp and accurate. Maybe we'll look like that again someday.

                  Thats the tops for the names you listed. All those other names don't belong with Brady and Montana.

                      So, you think a guy that led his team to 7 championships and a guy that led his team to 5 championships are not as good simply because you were not alive to see them play?

                      Again, I use a baseball analogy: Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Honus Wagner, Cy Yount, Ty Cobb.... all are not to be considered among the best that ever played because YOU were not alive to see them?
