Dungy: Brady 6th best QB since 1978

SHOWTIME15 · Jul 19, 2017

Tony Dungy Believes Tom Brady Is The Sixth-Best QB In NFL Since 1978

Of the 10 men polled, nine of them listed Tom Brady as either the No. 1 or No. 2 best quarterback. Considering Brady is a five-time Super Bowl champion and is widely considered to be the Greatest Of All Time, this was to be expected. Maybe someone might prefer Joe Montana, or even Peyton Manning, but for the most part, the general consensus is that Brady is one of the two best quarterbacks to ever play the game.

Yet the lone ballot to leave Brady out of the top two — and even the top three … and the top five — was, you guessed it, Dungy’s.

Sando explained that Dungy listed John Elway, Steve Young and Aaron Rodgers as his top three, and Sando also wrote that Brady’s lowest rank was sixth.

So if Dungy is the only person on the panel who didn’t include Brady in the top two, then it stands to reason that Tony Dungy believes that Tom Brady is the sixth-best quarterback to play in the NFL since 1978.

That's some LOOOOONG-term butthurt,Coach.

Ahaha. You lost me at "Tony Dungy..."

If someone has an axe to grind, they'll find any way possible to do it.

Why as high as 6th though? Obviously this bum Brady shouldn't even be top 10 right?

Seriously though.... Manning #2? Even only going back as far as 78 that is laughable.

ESPN putting him over Montana is a total joke. I would argue a few other guys on that list deserve to be in over him as well.

Tom Brady says, "Thank you, Coach Dungy, may I have another!?!"

Motivation is unnecessary but appreciated for the coming season.

Super Bowl Wins

Rodgers+Young+Elway = 4
Brady = 5

Manning above Montana, and Young way the hell down at 8 are bigger issues than Saint Anthony being butthurt about the G.O.A.T..

When you can't crak the top 5 after winning 5 superbowls you know life is unfair.

Even beyond the Brady stuff, his thought process was very, very odd throughout. His top 3 were chosen specifically because they can/could run...

I just do not get why people rank Rodgers so high? One of the most overrated players in the league

Rodgers is in the conversation for the all time great quarterbacks. The guy who's playing now always gets overrated over stars from the past. Brady partakes in this phenomenon too, but of course, he has accomplishments to back it up in a way that Rodgers really doesn't.

Biggest difference between Rodgers and Brady: Brady still approaches the game as if he's the 199th pick fighting for his job.

I have Dungy as the sixth best head coach who is black, Christian, has big ears, and bald.

Wait, seventh. Forgot Jim Caldwell.

Ice_Ice_Brady · Jul 19, 2017

Based on the reasoning, I'm pretty sure Dungy also ranked Montana at #9. He put the "three scramblers" Elway, Young, and Rodgers as his top 3. He put Manning, Marino, and Brady in 4-6. Someone ranked Montana 9th. WTF!!!

Norv Turner:

If Peyton Manning had New England's defenses, he would be at the top of this list and he would be 5-2 or 6-1 in Super Bowls.

Oh really? That's a very interesting insight by one of the most comical coaches in NFL history. I'm sure given seven Super Bowl games, Manning would have done just as well, if not better, than Brady.

Try this: If any quarterback in the NFL had played in the postseason for the 2006 Colts or the 2015 Broncos, they would have won the Super Bowl in each of those two seasons.
