Tom Brady Retiring
Patrick Mahomes, you’re up.
2023 version:
2022 version:
EDIT: Timeline below. 1. Darlington & Schefter report Brady is retiring. 2. TB12, Tom’s brand/company, tweet (then later delete) about his retirement. 3. Toms teammates tweet about his retirement. 4. Tom’s agent, dad, Arians, and Licht all say Tom hasn’t decided yet. 5. Ian Rappaport says many sources confirm Tom plans to retire but the pushback is due to timing. 6. Tom announces retirement again in 2023. Last edited by Dante84; 02-01-2023 at 07:19 AM.. |

You can dislike Brady and try to say he isn't the best ever, but you have to do that based on your feelings and emotions because he's about twice as accomplished as the next most accomplished QB and he holds all the main records a QB can hold. |

Is Bill Russell considered the best NBA player ever since he has the most championships?
Most people would say Jordan because of his combination of skill set + rings. That will be Brady’s legacy… the most championships, but there are/will be better QB’s when you look at it comprehensively in terms of talent, physical abilities, on-field success, etc. |

The guy has 7-rings, pretty much all the stats, dominated Peyton Manning H2H, and beat Mahomes in SB and AFC Championship.
If you are being objective, I'd think anyone who knows football can easily make the best case for him being the GOAT QB. |

He didn’t dominate Manning. Bill Belicheck did

Early part of his career he was a glorified game manager, backed by Belichick’s superior defensive gameplans that were the primary basis of the team’s success.

His stats come from longevity and rarely being injured. Credit where credit is due. Now of those 7 rings how many are because of Brady and not him being the beneficiary of a great defense and/or luck? I can count at least 4 times when Brady got a ring due to Bill or sheer luck.

Sure, but that’s not really a good comparison as Brady didn’t exactly go to the Lions/Jets/Jags after leaving NE. He went to a loaded TB and then played like crud all playoffs only to be bailed out by his defense. How many SBs does Brady win without a Top 10-15 defense backing him?

He's the MOAT. Most Accomplished of All Time. That dude rode top 10 defenses and checkdowns to all of those rings.
