Brady's ability to find all the receivers on the field and "zip" the ball so the receiver can catch the ball is legendary.

It's a good way to keep yourself healthy and prolong your career too.

When it's all said and done, Brady's going down as the best who ever played. He may already be there.

As for McNabb, I'm a lifelong Eagles fan. He was never, ever as good as his press.

McNabb was great with the Eagles because of the great coaching work by Andy Reid, who is likely a Hall of Famer. But yet, Reid could only get so much out of McNabb, especially given the limitations I mentioned earlier.

Indeed, I even have doubts that McNabb is a first-ballot Hall of Famer among active players; players like Tom Brady, Ray Lewis and Ed Reid are definitely going to the HoF five years after they retire.

Brady is good, but he is not even top 3 all time. I would personally have a hard time calling anybody great in this era of no defense allowed. The receivers are not allowed to be touched after 5 yards. The linemen hold on every play, and no more headhunting by DB’s. It is a pale copy of bygone days of real football. Modern NFL football is a creation by owners wanting NBA type of excitement. Hence the inflated numbers by QB’s and receivers.
