I'm just against the semantic used. I know this forum is mostly US but it's also inclusive. Brady is the football goat no discussion. But dismissing other sports and culture from an American pov only, nah.
Bledsoe hits the mark for just about every existing HOF member, but if you're grading him on the post-Brady/Manning scale he's out.
Lol AFC has had the better teams for the last 20 years already so this doesn't make much sense.
You said that but career expectacy for QB (is this even a word, no spell checker in chrome mobile godammit) is clearly longer than any other position in the sport. They expected to go beyond 35 before retire, you cannot say that for other position. Not For Long joke still hold true except for the QBs.
Also the fact he would span 3 decades is absolutely bonkers.HEre's something that's also so unusual about Brady's rings compared to any other players on this list:
(Missing Joe Green and Randy Grossman in the screenshot, same as the ones above them)
If you scroll through this list of most superbowl rings, all of them have a lot of seasons in common... The 1975-1980 Steelers, the 1980s 49ers, the 49ers/Cowboys swap (Charles Haley jumped back and forth winning super bowls for reach team), Romanowski with the 49ers and then Broncos late in his career, Matt Millen on those 49ers teams late in his career. But where those 49ers have a half dozen guys, the Steelers have a dozen guys, Brady is only joined by one teammate on that list, Adam Vinitieri. Marv Flemming is the only one to really be unique other than Brady, playing for Green Bay and the early Dolphins championship teams.
If you expand it out to players who won 3 Super Bowls, then there will be more ~22 I guess. And then in the late career run for Brady, Edelman, Gronk, McCourtey, Hightower, Chung, Gostkowski... Maybe an OLine that I'm missing who was a backup/mixed starter (Soldner was gone for 2018, Thuney wasn't on 2014).
If Tampa Bay wins in 2 weeks, Gronk joins the 4 Super Bowl club. There have only been three other players to win 4 Super Bowls since Charles Haley, and only one position player to have won four super bowls (Tom Brady, the other two were special teamers -- Vinitiari & Izzo for the Patriots [3] and Giants [1]). Elite company for Gronk, hope he wins.
Why enjoy something when I can create unsubstantiated, unreasonable, cherry-picked, and biased arguments on the internet. I go to bed believing I won something, isn't that what we all strive for?
Even Gisele knows that her husband cannot both throw and catch the ball.Just a friendly reminder that he still has a 0% catch percentage in Super Bowls
lol WOAT.
This was borderline the most frustrating SB loss from a fans perspective.Just a friendly reminder that he still has a 0% catch percentage in Super Bowls
lol WOAT.
I always laugh when people say this. Mahomes is without a doubt the future of the league and I have no doubt that he will win multiple Super Bowls in his career. I think he could lead the chiefs to a patriots-like dynasty. He has the talent, but he also has the mental make up. He's a winner. He has that it factor. He's not just "the greatest thrower of the football" like people used to say about Rodgers when they would try to argue him over Brady. Mahomes thus far has shown a championship mentality that I could only compare to Brady's.
Brady is already the undeniable GOAT. Fifteen years from now people could be making that arguement about Mahomes. "Is he better than Brady? Is he a top three QB of all time?" etc. Even if Mahomes winds up second to Brady we will all look back at this Super Bowl as the best QB matchup in the history of the game. It's like if Lebron got to play Jordon in the NBA finals. You just don't see these kinds of (potentially) historic matches in sports very often. We shouldn't take this for granted. Enjoy it.
Leaving LeBron James or Michael Jordan off of such a list is strange. Pick one.
I mean you i suppose you could say that. You'd of course be wrong, but that's ok. It happens to the best of us. Brady had a long and unbelievably amazing career after all. I was in the third grade when he won his first super bowl, and I imagine some here are even younger. People just take his greatness and success for granted.
This really isn't a fair argument though. Mahomes uses his legs, but only when he needs to. That's just the modern day QB. They all use their legs when there's 10 yards of green grass open to them. Mahomes isn't one of these run first QBs. His game has more in common with Manning and Brady than it does with Vick or Newton.
Silly me. you're right. Brady was so lucky to be carried by the irrelevant and previously 5-11 last place patriots before he took over. Mahomes taking over the already consistently 10+ win chiefs is so much more impressive. I have no idea what I was thinking.
I mean, he'd sure as fuck be on pace to.
