Remember where I came from.
- Both wear #12
- Both usually wear a silver, white and blue uniform (Roger had a red stripe on his helmet at times)
- Both have been nicknamed Captain America
- Both became starters mid-season and went on to win their team it's first SB and be that game's MVP...the QB they benched got traded by next year.
- Both are practicing Catholics
- Brady's priest prayed for his next game after KC crushed them in 2014 (then won big over Cincinnati) - Staubach had a Hail Mary Pass that beat Minnesota in the 1975 playoffs.
- A Belichick has coached both of them - Steve with Roger - Bill with Tom.
- Both have a low interception rate
- Both made the NFL's All Decade Team
- One is HoF 1st year eligible...the other will be - no doubt
- Both are on the short list of QBs than can come from behind in the 4th quarter. IMHO, the acid test of a championship QB.
- Both know Belichick well (from Roger's Navy days and is a BB fan)
- Both played for aloof, system-oriented HCs, that gave them the best preparation for a game, preference for defense. Landry and Belichick discouraged players to talk smack and give opponents motivation.
- Both have signed contracts significantly less than what they could have asked.
- Both have spent their entire career on one team (so far)
- Both are the #1 player for their team
- Brady would be beaten twice in the SB by the Giants - Staubach would be beaten twice in the SB by the Steelers.
- Of QBs that started 50 or more games, Brady has the highest winning percentage at ,774, followed by Staubach at .746 (as of 11/1/2014.) The only QBs to win roughly 3 out of 4 games as starters.
