Tom Brady secured his 10th appearance in the NFL’s biggest game. It’s an amazing achievement that’s, once again, sparked the greatest of all-time debate.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are headed to Super Bowl LV. Their 31-26 win over the Green Bay Packers clinched them becoming the first team in NFL history to play in a Super Bowl hosted at their home stadium.
Is Brady the G.O.A.T? I’ll vote yes, without hesitation, that there’s no one better.
Let’s be clear, however, on what I’m referring to.
Brady’s not the greatest athlete of all time. I’ve seen this debate on social media and it cost me a few brain cells.
Have you seen Brady run with the football? If you had to get up and walk from your living room to the bathroom, there’s a good chance you’re getting there and back before Brady runs 10 yards.
Thankfully, it’s not Brady’s running ability which makes him Must-See TV.
Brady is the greatest quarterback ever, there’s no debate. In a team sport, where quarterback is the most important position on the field, he is the G.O.A.T.
The resume screams greatest of all-time to do it:
- 10 Conference Championship wins
- 6-Time Super Bowl Champion
- 4-Time NFL MVP
Brady is making his 10th Super Bowl appearance. Let that marinate for a few seconds.
In New England, Brady didn’t have the buffet tray of offensive weapons every season he was there.
And here he is in his first season in Tampa Bay — with a new team, new head coach, and new teammates – preparing to compete for his seventh ring. Furthermore, let’s not leave out the obvious, this is being done against the backdrop of COVID-19.
For those that will still argue Brady is a “system” quarterback or played most of his career in a weak division, he’s on his 10th Super Bowl appearance.
Any attempt at debating Brady’s not the best quarterback ever, at this point, is just hating.
