Tom Brady the G.O.A.T

The greatest athlete ever.
Even some of the greatests of all time don't compare to him.
A legend above all of them.

Tom Brady solidifies himself as one of the best athletes in history

He is the GOAT in football, definitely not the greatest athlete of all time. What other professional sport would he excel in?

I have no dog in this race, but who would you consider the greatest athlete of all time? Obviously, one who dominated in more than one professional sport, right?

I’d take an Olympic decathlon champion over any of them.
 
Sammy Baugh would have punked him on his worst day. There is no comparing a player today with most of those from the 1930's up to the 1970's. I like Brady abd hopes he keeps playing for 27 seasons, but no way he is the 'greatest ever'; the rules are candyassed now and too sissified, thanks to all the money they throw at players and owners terrified of injuries.

Greatest QB of all time, but it's hard to call someone who was the last player picked in the last round as the best athlete. Imho, Brady is the best quarterback of all time in spite of not being the best athlete at that position. It's like that old adage about pornography: hard to define but you know it when you see it.

You make a good point. Could it be that Brady is a great QB because of his brain more than because of his brawn?

Yep. Not to mention that they had to adjust the rules to encourage throwing the ball across a TV screen.

I think that's true. If Wiki has Tom's biography correct, he didn't start on the JV team his first year in high school.

He didn't start at Michigan his freshman year since there was an All-American at QB coming back for his senior year. He ran a 5+ second forty yard dash at the combine
:omg:

Yet...

Tom Brady - Wikipedia

"After playing college football at Michigan, Brady was selected 199th overall by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, earning him a reputation as the draft's all-time biggest steal.[2][3][4]

"He became the starting quarterback during his second season, which saw the Patriots win their first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXVI."
