Brady's great, but it's tough for me to conclude he's better than Baugh, Graham, or Layne.I agree that it’s possible that someone could pass. Brady has the greatest of all time… But it’s going to take a lot.
For me, it's who you trust to win a football game.
To me, the best quarterback in the 90's is Doug Flutie. He made whatever team he played for its best and gave that team the best chance to win.
Intelligence, awareness, ability and determination to make plays (which none of the others could) when they have to be made, I wouldn't want anyone else.
So: For example, if Flutie played for the Cowboys, I expect they'd have won four Super Bowls. Bills, 49ers, Redskins, Giants, Broncos - they'd have done better with Doug than the guy they had. It's not his (or my) fault the league treated him like sh*t. Those other quarterbacks were coddled and pampered and allowed to play; do that for Flutie and you have a GOAT candidate. He was that good.
Many similar qualities to Brady: Durability, humility, leadership, and always a student of the game.
