I am not a Pats fan, but I have Brady 4
I would put Unitas, Montana, and Elway ahead of Manning and Brady
I think Peyton and Brady are a push, so the SuperBowls trump everything else.
Brady should be 4.
Farve and Marino come after those 5, and pretty far after as I look at it.
I think there is a big gap after 5
both Brady and Manning could move up should they finish their careers strong (another SB or 2, big regular seasons, etc).
Really? 4th Best?
