I think its pretty obvious if you look at the players actually play. Maybe if brady didnt blow out his knee marry a supermodel and make a gizillion dollars it would be different. But it did.
Finally theres no denying that there has been an exogenous macro change in the rules that simply favors passing performance. Theyve had a huge impact statistically and there no denying that. Were pretty much back to early 60s afl wild wild west football. And joe did not have the statistical benefit of playing in this environment. Still hung 38 and 44 in super bowls. No come back needed there.
Any it turns out that i think joe probably ISNT the goat. Probably that honor goes to johnny u or baugh from what i hear. In the modern era theres only three that are in their own category roger aaron joe.
Im not going to say who is best among them but youll notice bradys name is not there.
But anothet couple years....
Most talented doesnt' mean the best.
Do you think Randy Moss is a better receiver than Jerry Rice?
