If you view the Super Bowl as the measuring stick of success, a final thesis if you would, then the loss puts Brady in a different category. It drops him to 3-2, into a group of QB's with multiple starts and multiple wins. He'll be at the front of the class with guys like Roger Staubach (2-2), Bob Griese (2-1), Ben Roethlisberger (2-1), Troy Aikman (3-0), Bart Starr and Jim Plunkett (2-0). I don't think anyone in their right mind would disagree with the statement that Brady is best of that group. Great still, HoF lock certainly, but not best ever.

Did Montana ever lose a Super bowl?

That's an interesting post. Troy Aikman is obviously a great, HOF quarterback, but he sort of defines the second tier of all-time great quarterbacks, doesn't he? Still great company for Brady, though.

Different era. No FA back when he won those, its much harder to keep a team together now a days. After thinking about it i have to take this back. The Niners did win in the FA period except that the GM Eddie DeBartolo cheated, he wrote up the contracts to get around the salary cap. The Niners should have an asterisk next to some of those SB's. Although i'm not sure Montana was with the team at that time.

At least, Brady doesn't have to deal with the stupid Peyton comparisons since it is universally believed that Brady is clearly better than Peyton. I can handle Brady being #2 best of all time. You Colts fans will just have to accept that Peyton will always have to look up to Brady in every greatest QB of all time list.

hey...watch this...

Peyton isn't even the best Manning.

No offense, but this is the stupidiest argument that is consistently made. So when Montana gets beat in the NFC Championship game it is not as bad as Brady losing in the Super Bowl? If Montana is one and done in the playoffs, it isn't as good as Brady losing the Super Bowl?

Yes, Montana has one more Super Bowl win, but Brady isn't done. If Brady finishes his career say 4-2 in the Super Bowl, he really should be disqualified from the GOAT talk because he got into six Super Bowls and lost two, but Montana got into four and won them all.

I am a person who really doesn't care if Brady is considered the best of all time. But if he ends up having as many Super Bowl rings as Montana and people disqualify Brady from GOAT talk because he lost two Super Bowls, I think it is a bogus argument. Granted, Brady still needs to win one more for this argument.

As long as you don't mind losing constantly, I guess it's alright to live vicarously through teams that are infinitely better than yours.

With respect to Brady,even if they won last night Brady would still not be the best there ever was IMO,he probably would have needed one more.

Montana was the best I have ever seen,and the majority of members in here who think Brady is better were still pooping in their diapers or maybe not even a thought in their parents minds when Montana was in his prime.

Johnny U was pretty damn good too.
