I honestly don't know how you all can put Tom Brady in the GOAT discussion....
All you ever bring up is the rings 'argument'. Do any of you actually know that he only threw for 1TD in the 3 games they played during the first superbowl win?
LOL Spoken like another someone who missed actually watching those games because they were on past his bedtime. Brady ran for a TD and led the team into FG range for the game tying and game winning FG's in near blizzard conditions, he got knocked out of the AFCC in the midst of a first half TD drive Drew finished off, and he threw for a TD to David Patten (same throw he made to Welker only in the back corner of the EZ) and led a remarkable drive into FG range from his own 10 yard line with a minute and eighteen seconds and no time outs left that Madden thought was nuts to even attempt even though the defense was gassed and wouldn't have had a prayer had they lost the coin toss and gone into OT. And that was exactly what he was coached to do and what the game plan was predicated on, just keep them close until the end.
Things have changed a lot in the last several years due to rules changes that led Bill to determine that the passing game become more of a focus here in order to remain competitive...which we have. The difference between the results then and now is Brady and Belichick having playmakers on both sides of the ball.
