That is what I saw too.
Blanda did play some quarterback at the age of 43 in the Colts-Raiders playoff game in 1970 when the Mad Bomber (Lamonica) was knocked out of the game, but he did kick until he was 48...

So Warren Moon, Vinnie Testaverde, and Steve DeBerg outlasted Brady. He’s only the 6th oldest player to play QB.

Of course. Next season, every time a starting quarterback gets hurt, everybody will be begging for Brady to come out of retirement.

It’s always easier to no have money as a driving force when your wife is making more money than anybody in the NFL. I mean it’s possible he’d have still recognized how the cap works and gone cheap for titles if he’d married a “normal” sport wife. We’ll never know for sure.

Yes, Blanda had a pretty amazing run there during the 70 Season.

How many Hall of Famers did Montana have around him, versus Brady?
Well, if we look at Montana's first two Super Bowls and only consider offensive players, it would be zero. On defense it would be Ronnie Lott (who was playing cornerback then, though he'd move to safety in the latter portions of his career.
For Montana's third and fourth Super Bowls, he had Jerry Rice on offense, which is no small thing - Rice is the best WR ever to play the game. On defense he had Lott and Charles Haley.

Brady has all he needs $$$ to do anything he wants for the rest of his life.

However: 16 games VS 63 is definitely another factor.

Blanda found out his contract was not being renewed from the NEWSPAPER....
Al Davis didn’t even discuss it with him.
Blanda could play a number of positions.
I NEVER forgave Davis for his actions.
To: LibertyWoman
I’m happy for the guy. He will be able to sleep in, hang out at Starbucks, maybe see a movie.

Favre was a rough and tumble guy who liked to mix it up, and he paid the price. Brady tried to avoid trouble.

Speaking of Blanda and Brady. These are the “Degrees of Separation” between them:
Brady played on 2000 Patriots w/ Bruce Armstrong
Who played on 1987 Patriots w/ Julius Adams
Who played on 1982 Patriots w/ Morris Bradshaw
Who played on 1975 Raiders w/ George Blanda
Who played on 1949 Bears
So pretty much if you want to play the “Tom Brady Game”, there’s your list.

Or is it 163? I don’t follow baseball.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Yeah, I’m reluctant to admit that as well. Montana, to me, was the gold standard. He could thread a needle from across the field. It was a pleasure to watch him. And he had class. But Brady has certainly earned his spot in NFL greatness.

Yup. He deserves the call for #1 based on his durability as much as anything else. Montana's durability was always a question once he passed the 5 year mark in his career.

Brady’s great and all, but love me some Gronk.
He needs to be given a USAA membership somehow or the universe will remain out of balance.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
And it’s true. The Niners I believe did go 2-14 the year before Montana joined them.
