I still think Joe is the GOAT, or at least the most clutch QB of all-time. Sure, Brady has a longer resume (played forever, stayed with his legendary coach), but Joe's Super Bowl numbers will never be touched. 122 passer rating, 11 TD's to 0 picks.
Joe's playoff passer rating of 95.6 is much higher than Brady's 89.8 despite Joe playing in a much tougher era for passing. Joe's passer rating went UP in the playoffs while Brady's went down.
Not hating on Brady, but there are a lot of arguments for why Joe was more impressive. He also led a different team to a conference title game. He just didn't have Brady's longevity (partly due to the roughness of that era), nor did he get to stay with his original team/coach and rack up more rings, which I have little doubt he would have.

To the OP, an elite QB can do a lot for us, but to be a title contender, we need good coaching and a more willing front office. Name the QB who did it all himself. It just doesn't happen. I love Burrow, but that kind of pressure shouldn't be placed on his shoulder's alone. We'll ruin him that way.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
