Just an opposing fan's opinion. QB's I'd put ahead of Brady:
John Elway---5, that's right, FIVE Super Bowl appearances with 2 wins. Carried Denver's offense in the late 80's, with a talented but not all-time great defense on the other side. Was able to get his rings once he had an offensive mind worthy of using his talents, and able to give him some help in other phases of the game offensively.
Brett Favre---.500 in the big game, with 2 appearances. Carried Green Bay's offenses to elite status in the 90s. Delivered the ball with a velocity/accuracy combination the game had never seen before and hasn't since...Probably the most dominant QB ever in his prime, as well.
Joe Montana---4 Super Bowl appearances, FOUR WINS. Not the most talented, and not even the most consistent QB ever....just the greatest when he had to be. As accurate a passer a you could ask for when he got in a zone, too. There's not really anyone I'd be more comfortable trusting the football with. Also, the best out-of-the-pocket passer in history, particularly good to his right.
Steve Young---1 SB appearance in which he put up an all-time great performance in a winning effort. He's the most accurate QB ever. He was also the BEST running QB ever (and I say best in that he was SMART about it....he "knew" when to take off and when not to. Montana also knew this, but Young was just on a whole other level with the ball in his hands.) Not a "choke artist" in big games either, as some have said....
...Brady DEFINITELY comes after all these guys on *the list* IMO, with guys like Marino, Aikman, Kelly, and Manning.

Re: Where does Brady Rank Among QBs All-Time, NOW?
Same as before:
1. Montana
2. Brady
I guess if we're just going with Superbowl QB's we could put the other TB @ #2, Terry Bradshaw.
How on earth does Elway with his .400 winning % in the Superbowl get slotted ahead of TFB?
Or Steve 'I jumped right in to one of the most talented lineups' Young?
Or Brett 'I can gunsling my team right out of the NFL playoffs @ a moment's notice' Favre?

If you're going to be annoying about it, why not complain about:
Tom 'I couldn't get it done in the big game with THE most talented offense in the history of the game' Brady?

I wonder how you'd be ranking brady if he had been throwing to jerry rice all these years.

Ok so let's just discount the fact that he's done more with less in the past ....If he doesnt have time to get the ball deep to moss, how's he going to get it there? The offense didn't do nearly enough, but don't forget they did get the lead back, and the d was in the position to win the game. Anyways, this discussion won't mean much until he retires bc there will be plenty more to be written about his career...
The SB sucked this year, but let's not forget he did lead this team to the first 16-0 regular season which is a hell of an accomplishment (empty i know bc we didnt win the big one, but still a great accomplishment that had never been done before). I'd put him behind Montana, although this is going to be an endless discussion with no right/wrong answers...not yet anyways

Until the 4th quarter, it was pretty boring, although seeing the golden boy laid out and hit so much made the first 3 quarters exciting. But just about every non-patriots fan would agree that it was the best 4th quarter in superbowl history

Brett Favre does not belong on this list. He may put up numbers but he is reckless. Favre is one of the most overrated players in the history of the NFL.
