Brady is great no question about it but they have had good teams since Brady has been there. Marino never had a Running Back. Never had a defense. I blame Don Shula for this. Most of you are judging Brady to be the GOAT because he won the most Super Bowls. Ok I get that and he is! But Brady is not the best in terms of raw physical ability to play the position.

Long and short of it is you say the Pats have had great 'teams' with 'good' defenses and running backs, but the only player you keep naming is Brady. Elway and Farve had cannons and were dislocating and breaking fingers in there last season in the league, not just back in college and there first couple years. There is more to playing QB than a physical 'skill set'. There's reading defenses, avoiding rushers, leading the team, make average skill players around you better. Brady does all these things better than Dan. When your down 25 points in the second half of the super bowl and lead your team on 5 straight scoring drives and 32 straight points to win the game, that validates that you are indeed the "GOAT".
