If Brady and co played for another city, he would be called a great QB who benefited from a consistently strong OL, great Defenses, and incredible luck in squeaking out 5 SB wins by a combined victory margin of 20 points. At least 2 of his MVPs would be spread out to Defensive players.


    That doesn't take away his records, but in comparison, with 1 game on the line, I'm going with Montana. He never lost a SB, never threw an INT in the SB, never fell behind 14, let alone 25 points in a SB, and has a career 129 passer rating in the SB. Who did he face and defeat? MVP QBs Ken Anderson, Dan Marino, Boomer Esiason, and John Elway. It took Brady 6 tries to match what Montana did in 4. So yeah, I'm taking Joe.

    I don't know that I agree with Boston putting him in the argument. Boston and NY are huge markets and probably tougher to play in than any other. Countless players in all 4 major sports have come to Boston as great players and flopped under the pressure of a large market with crazed fans. Others have started their careers in Boston with huge expectations and didn't flourish until leaving and playing in a city with less pressure from fans and media. I think "surviving" the pressure of being the face of a Boston franchise has got to be an extremely daunting challenge in itself. Brady has embraced it and thrived on it. It takes a different kind of person to be able to handle that pressure, let alone rise above it to become an all-time great.

    Let's also keep in mind, 2 ridiculous game-winning catches from 2 random NY Giants receivers (who the heck is David Tyree??) kept Brady from being 7-0 is the SB, but they lost 2 by a combined total of 7 points. So that swings both ways.

    In strictly a SB setting, Montana was amazing, no doubt. Possibly the best SB QB ever. And he is definitely, 100% without a doubt an all-time great. Probably top 3 in my opinion...and just for arguments sake, Montana never engineered the greatest come back in SB history

    That's because he didn't have to. He didn't get his pants pulled down and spanked in front of the whole world for the first half of the game like Brady did this year. :D

    Sorry bud, you left yourself wide open on that one. :)

    peyton manning (aka the greatest QB to ever touch a football) still holds the vast majority of the QB records, i.e. most TDs career, most TDs in one season, most passing yards, etc. not to mention being the only 5x league MVP.

    Tom will close some of those gaps over the next few years, he's still got 3+ years left. He might even break a few and add some more hardware
