Only 1 league MVP to Brady’s 3 though. Brady also has 14 Pro Bowls to Starr’s 4. I’m not old enough to have watched Starr, but just looking at their careers I think Brady has been far more dominant.
From Starr's wiki:
Starr has the highest postseason passer rating (104.8)[2] of any quarterback in NFL history and a postseason record of 9–1. His career completion percentage of 57.4 was an NFL best when he retired in 1972.
Starr's playing career ended with the 1971 season, having posted the second best career passer rating of 80.5 (First at the time was Otto Graham with 86.6).
----
He lead the league in completion percentage and passer rating 4 times each. Something Brady has only done once and twice respectively. Not sure how Pro Bowls and MVP's were determined back then (I think RB's dominated the MVP award), but Starr is worthy of being in the discussion for GOAT QB, imo...based on playoff/SB performance and performance compared to his peers (which is something people rarely consider).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
