Is Tom Brady the greatest football player ever?

Yes, Brees and Rodgers are both better than Brady. I am claiming that.

Brees is the best QB ever, statistically.

Don't try to cling to some QBPR non sense. Anybody that knows football knows that Drew Brees has the best statistics of any QB ever.

Tom Brady threw 2 picks in one half of one SB. Joe Montana threw zero INTs in 4 SBs.

Joe Montana was a better regular season QB than Brady and a better playoff QB than Brady.

 

Marino and Montana were better than Brady. Brees and Rodgers are better than Brady. Stating otherwise is just entirely baseless.

Steve Young was better, too.

Now whether or not Peyton Manning was better is maybe debatable.

Never heard of him. I used to love watching Tierry Henry.

Brady has a leadership presence though. If you watch his story, it’s pretty incredible. I’d say that even though he doesn’t have the statistics, if you watch the film, he is a good reader of the defense. What a mistake with garappolo though! I probably spelled it wrong, but what are your guy’s thoughts?

We call American football football. Get over it.

Well, didn't Nick Foles just prove you don't have to be a great QB to be on the winning team of a Super Bowl?

Football is a team sport. It takes a real degenerate to give all the credit to an individual in a team sport.

Tom Brady has always been one of the best QBs in the league. I'm only arguing that he isn't a top five QB all time. It's debatable, but he isn't the best QB ever, much less the best football player ever; and that is NOT debatable. Anybody claiming he is, is a fanboy or a liar ... or an idiot. Maybe all three.

Who's trying to convince (association) football fans that NFL is football? I've claimed no such thing. Just because you're like "ours is the real football, and yours isn't" doesn't mean everyone else is the other way around.

I'm just saying... it's not like I'm the one going to a place where everyone is talking about Messi, and insisting that they talk about Brady instead.

Russell Wilson can also throw a game losing INT to close a SB.

I know I'll regret this...but I'll try anyways.

I understand rugby (sort of). Can anybody here explain to me in which aspects does American football differ from it?

And no, I don't want to google it. I'm lazy

For one, in american football it's not as easy to pick pocket the ball as in Rugby.  Because, in Rugby one can run with the ball and kick it.  Higher chance of swiping the ball. 

American Football when ya have the ball, one cannot kick it.

You pass backwards, not forwards. Ps. The Spanish national team were recently denied a place at the next world cup when they lost to Belguim. The match was poorly (to put it mildly) refereed by a Romanian. Coincidentally, Romania needed a loss by Spain in this match to qualify themselves. The Spanish are appealing and the European rugby authorities are investigating. The match may be replayed.

I heard about that. It turns out there's corruption and similar stuff in every sport. However, at least in rugby they seem to take it more seriously than in football (the European one). Remember that Ireland-France match to classify for the World Cup?

Drew Brees. Best. #1 Quaterback. 99.539281 Throwing Accuracy. Too old to run but is good with his arm.

Micheal Thomas #1 WR. Last season 133 Catches 

Tom Brady #2. QB.  Good with his arm
