It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Brady checks in at a very pedestrian No. 10 on the list which sort of confirms the theory that King has never viewed Brady as a player on the same level as Manning or Favre.
Not really feeling his top two either since that era is so different than the last 40 years.
* This list is from his book coming out next month so it was probably written last off-season.
1. Otto Graham. Easy. Ten seasons, seven championships, seven passing titles.
2. Sammy Baugh. Had the best season of any player ever in 1943. Led the NFL in passing, punting and, as one of the best safeties in football, in interceptions.
3. Joe Montana. Made everyone copy Walsh's high-tech offense, and won four titles in a decade.
4. Johnny Unitas. First great modern quarterback, and great in the clutch. He'd be higher if he won more than one title in his last 14 seasons.
5. Brett Favre. Most durable, most productive quarterback of all time. Marred by only one title.
6. Peyton Manning. Could break every record if Favre ever retires. Needs another championship or two to climb the list.

If Brady were to retire right now, I think in 10-15 years he'd be largely forgotten.
That should be inspiration for him to get off of Gisele and get his head in the game-o!
and this was posted right after brady had arguably the worst game of his career. peter king is on the HOF committee and thinks based on numbers - that's how you get into the HOF, right? numbers. brady will never have peyton's numbers - just more wins and more rings.

I was going to say this too. Everything Peter King writes is colored by what happened 10 minutes before. If Brady had the game of his life, he probably would have been No. 6 (or 1 or 2) and Manning would have been lower. I only read him for the pure entertainment value (which sometimes isn't that great). Nothing more.
I agree with you on the "entertainment" aspect, but King has clearly taken a view that stats trump championships. I happen to disagree with that in the NFL (not in MLB), but it is his view and we're not going to change his mind.
:wha:
WTF? I mean, seriously, WTFF?
yes comparing otto graham and sammy baugh who played before you were born peter king to players in the modern era is fantastic

I'm not a troll at all.
Where is Dan Fouts, Warren Moon? Those guys were all world but they're forgotten.
You may think Brady is the GOAT, but memories are short.
More reason for Brady to get his nose out of Gisele's rear end and play football.

FYI Peter King is a unimaginative hack for having to post a best QB of all time column in week 2 of a season. This is a conversation for off season, when there is no actual football to talk about.
