If I had the time, or was one of those people who run football analytics sites, I would create a metric comparing how every QB performed relative to their peers in any given year, and use that metric to quantify who is statistically the best (please note that "statistically the best" does not equal "the GOAT").
He is right now, but his legacy will diminish over time as more and more QBs pass his stats. The playoff accomplishment that TB, BB, NE are what sets them apart. I hope that when all is said and done, that they can continue to add to it.
I am not so sure about that. Brady plans to play past this contract which means if he plays for the next 3 seasons then he will be somewhere around 660+ TDs and 90,000 yards. Those are mind boggling stats. Right now Rodgers is at 390. He will most likely end this season at age 37 with around 400. That still puts him 260 TDs behind Brady. Mahomes is at 100 TDs but you have to wonder given he just got paid a half a billion dollars if he will play nearly as long as Brady or if his body will hold up. In reality, Brady is in his third career right now. He had his 20s as his first career, and then his second career in his 30s and now he is in his 4th season in his 40s. And he has been in his prime the entire time. No real drop off other than maybe last year when his supporting cast was complete junk. Another QB will not only have to match that production but also match the longevity of playing that well, that long and staying basically injury free. What Brady is setting in the records books is a marathon for someone to beat. Even with the rules and expanded regular season, it would take monumental effort and a lot of luck for it to happen.
They will be pinched for sure but most teams will next year. The thing is Payton has a QB transition plan in place with Winston and Hill. He has Hill on a great contract for someone who can get him chunk yards every game and can also fill in some at QB. Then he has Winston who if he plays decent these next few games, he can sign for a nice middler contract. That will give him a great bridge at QB until he finds his next franchise guy at QB or he could possibly develop Winston into that guy if he can get him to play within the system and cut down the turnovers. Now compare that to what Bill did with the Pats. We have 2 QBs who are worthless - Hoyer and Stid and then we have Newton who we will be forced to pay because we have nothing else at the position. The transition from Brady was completely and totally botched.
Of course, you're 100% completely WRONG. Max Cliffterman specifically made direct reference to Tom Brady and his "cliff". There was no "outlier" mea culpa on Crackpoterman's part. He made a DIRECT, UNEQUIVOCAL ASSERTION mentioning"cliff" and Tom Brady hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of times. Seems like you are some kind of rarity around here, defending Max Wrongerman. That's as bad as defending Ted Wells, Bill Nye the Science Guy and Mike Kensil.
LOL. I am not defending Kellerman's bogus take on Brady, just the opposite. I think you need to listen to him again. Every single time he would talk about his cliff theory he would say he was basing it on the history of the position and he would talk about Manning and Favre and others. That was his basis for saying Brady would fall off the cliff. He was wrong about Brady but not wrong about what typically happens at the position when guys approach age 40.
Man, calm down. Seems Max is just slightly in your head. LOL.
I'll give you that it probably will take about 10 years or so before his regular season records fall but fall they will. Just consider:
Man the Tebow wing nuts had nothing on you!
Brees is done this year regardless.
