Is Brady unquestionably the best ever?

[Murdock2420]

The biggest issue with any debate about the G.O.A.T. is that you can't compare evenly at all across the eras. I've said this in another thread about this topic, that Brady in any other era is a scrub who doesn't last more than a few seasons. Prior to this modern era, QBs would get just mugged after throwing the ball and WRs going across the middle were absolutely destroyed. Brady can not function when he is being hit, he pouts and looks for the flag every time he is touched. So, put him in Montana's era and he isn't even remembered.

Now, flip the script. Put Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Bart Starr, etc, etc, etc....into this modern era. Let them know that their WRs can't be touched after 5 yards. Let them know, once they throw the ball away no one may touch them, and they can't be hit high or low. Give them WRs who can run across the middle with no fear.

It's a laughable debate. If you give the modern rules to the guys who were doing amazing things when it was actually hard to do, they blow Tommy boy's accomplishments away.

He plays in the perfect system, for a great coach, and there is some "shady" stuff with the spygates and others things. That's the perfect recipe. The guy has talent, but on pretty much any other team, with any other coach and definitely in other eras, he's average at best.
