I don’t have Brady on my list for a number of reasons. I think the NFL does everything in their power to protect him. A defensive player can touch his helmet with a pinky finger and he will get the roughing call. Every time Brady gets hit he is looking for a flag. Brady is a good QB but my list is my list. Everyone has their own bias when it comes to rating players and for me it comes down to the fact that I just plain don’t like him. Is it a crappy reason? Yeah, I admit it is.
Really, and the same rules don’t apply to Manning? Please, you certainly have the right to not like Brady, but in the same era when one QB surpasses the other (Brady over Manning in SB wins, TDs and yards) you can’t rule out the other objectively.
It’s more accurate to state that there are some QBs who are/were physically superior like Manning, Elway, Marino, Aikman vs those who were more tactical like Brady, Montana, Simms and Staubach.
But guess what, using your rules, I don’t/didn’t like Elway, Manning, Marino, Kelly, Aikman, ect., so therefore they were not great QBs.
