BRADY: 10 Superbowl's, 7 Rings, 16 - 0 Undefeated Regular Season, 25 Point Comeback In Superbowl. Thank You Tom, I Enjoyed Watching You Play.
Don’t forget post season Brady will always be known as Mahomes & Chiefs kryptonite
@@UnknownRaiderGuy and I think Bengals gonna be there next
@@coriethomas6003 high possibility
🐐🐐🐐
Only 3 first team all pros though?
His most impressive stat is number of post season wins. He was more than the QB position too as he positively influenced those around him (and ex teammates say to a large degree).
Add to that 14 conference championship game appearances in 20 years as a starting QB. 70% of the time his team made the "final four".
@@henrystreet6152 No doubt about that.
@RU Trash argument. Everyone knows deflategate was BS. Coming from a fan of a team in the same division as the Pats…
Done in 20, 30, 40s and he played with unnamed receivers!!Steven Smith. He should be the MVP this season. 💙
Yeahhh unnamed receivers like : Randy Moss, Julian Edelman, rob gronkowski, Antonio brown , Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Wes welker. Yeah he sure did play with some unnamed receivers 🤡
@@JT-jr7ut ? He made Julian Edelman into the receiver he was, gronk was drafted into the patriots and had the honor to play with the 🐐 not the other way around. As soon as he got an elite receiver in randy moss broke multiple records, before Tom Brady welker was a nobody. Before 2007 he played with no name receivers, Deion branch made his career with Tom, as soon as he left he did nothing. So I really don’t understand what you are saying. If you gave Tom what Manning had early in his career, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, etc. he would have won 6 Super Bowls by 2006. Tom throughout his career worked with what he was given to the highest level. Stop the hate my guy.
Goat is a relative term. My Goat is Montana. Statistics don't tell the whole story.
@@edgargoris4155 your whole statement is invalid due to contradiction. Manning was already with the colts before Reggie Wayne. So I guess using your logic he “made” Reggie Wayne. I don’t believe that, but that was your argument. So invalid.
@@rgalletta58 Cool Joe is the goat ! Undefeated in the Super Bowl, didn’t have to cheat, and didn’t whine to refs and get special help from them! Goat Montana is still the GOAT!
In North American pro sports, there was Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky.
Now Tom Brady joins the club.
The Greatest Ever Club.
All my 90s babies we got to experience some of the most spectacular careers in all of sports growing up as a kid
We getting old man lol
Facts lol
Truth.
Lol facts
Why u gotta point it out man 😭
man the oldest 90s baby is 32 that aint old
1. Tom Brady
2. Lawrence Taylor
3. Jim Brown
4. Jerry Rice
5. Walter Peyton/ Joe Montana
I agree 👍
Brady put up career highs this year!!! Truly the G.O.A.T 💯 FATHER TIME IS NO LONGER UNDEFEATED
His Wife just forced him to give up his Career and passion and at only age 44...That seems kind of unfair...His Kids do not see him every day but they DO see him...They gonna grow up Dysfunctional because Daddy aint around 24/7?...They KNOW what he does for a living...He should play 1 more year
Brady factored in everything his family, health, and his career status he is already the best QB ever if not player then on top of having one his best seasons ever 💪💪💪what top QBs can say they went out like tom??? They were shells of themselves
@@jackwoods9604 stop
@@jackwoods9604 his wife didn’t force him to do anything, and even if she pressured him we’re talking about football, not baseball, every season he plays he’s jeopardizing his body/health, he’s already accomplished everything, there was no need to continue playing
Gisele is so jealous of Tom. She’s not the greatest supermodel ever. Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and a few others were greater than her and it hurts her that Tom achieved the GOAT status in his field.
I really hope he wins mvp this year. Not only does he actually deserve it. But it’d be a great farewell gift to the greatest to ever do it. He’s proof that intangibles can be just as important as athleticism.
He should be in the Hall of Fame next year
@@lexkanyima2195 sadly it takes about 5 years but we'll see
@@genesisosuna why 5 years to wait ?
@@lexkanyima2195 idk, it's some weird hall of fame rule. But look at peyton manning. Retired in 2016, got into the hall of fame in 2021.
@@genesisosuna but too long
Most passing yards, most TDs, championships he's the F***n 🐐
Eli is the goat
@@craigderby4416 I hate you 😭😭
I remember writing on a youtube video after Brady won his super bowl against the Seahawks how much I was gonna miss Brady when he retires… the guy literally had Hall of Fame Career AFTER that moment if you only counted his achievements after that… lol… at 44 and just had one of his Best Seasons … Brady went out in his Prime.
He literally has 3 HOF careers in one. Even the Brady hater Nick Wright broke it down and admitted that. Simply an absolute legend. It's a good thing we have film on the man, because future generations might find it hard to believe one man had a career where he went to the superbowl every two years.
He had a hall of fame career after 04 already. Everything he did after that was just adding to it
Grew up a Brady fan at 11 now I’m 27. Now I have nobody to cheer for but seeing good football every year 😂
Tom Brady is the undisputed GOAT. 7 Super Bowl rings with 10 Super Bowl appearances. No franchise in the NFL has more than 6 Super Bowl titles! He spent nearly half of his playing career in the Super Bowl, that's simply unheard of. Everyone said he couldn't do it without Belichick and then he goes and wins another ring his first year with a new team. It'll feel like something is missing not seeing Brady play when next season comes around but congrats on a legendary career!!!
rings are overrated, he was lucky to be playing for great teams
@@polpol1005 He made a lot of his own luck tho with all the game winning drives he led in the playoffs. 17 years passed between his first Super Bowl in New England (2001) and his last (2018). Hundreds of players came and went. Him and Belichick were the only constants and yet they still kept getting it done. Tampa hadn't made the playoffs since 2007 prior to Brady's arrival and they immediately won a Super Bowl his first year there. He was largely responsible for all the success he enjoyed.
Football is the ultimate team sport.
Let’s not act like brady is the sole reason he has his rings.
@@josecarranza7555 obviously he's not the sole reason but he played a pretty big role in the success he enjoyed during his career.
@@polpol1005 yeah won a cpl SBs with his main targets being a converted lacrosse player and QB at kent state. Go sitdown
TB12 is just the goat in pretty much team sports. It’s incredible what he has done honestly. In American sports he is by far the greatest to do it.
As the biggest Giants fan ever, Brady is the GOAT of Football with literally no one in his realm Love LT best Defensive player ever but Brady is Brady
Brady, at 44 this season, should and I hope he will, win his 4th MVP!
He wont
he doesn't deserve it
One thing’s certain w/ today’s news: the Tom Brady haters lost-& they lost huge. He not only didn’t fall off the cliff, he walked away w/ a strongest case for MVP at 44. He never declined. It’s time for the Brady haters to find a new QB to hate on, and maybe they’ll win this time
Cliff Kellerman with another day of reckoning today !
The man went out on top ! Never decline even once in 22 years of playing. Let that sink in. At 44, still at MVP level. Note to all Mahomes fanboys, Rodgers fanboys, no more comparison with the Ultimate GOAT ever in US sports. 😙✌️
No. Football doesn’t work that way. You can say best at his position but that’s as far as you can go with football. No one even ranks OL and they are insanely valuable. Football is the ultimate team game. Basically based on how SAS ranks players then Deion and LT aren’t as good as any QB
Brady’s the GOAT, doesn’t matter what position. 7 rings, 5 super bowl MVP’s, 3 regular season MVP’s and that’s not even a 3rd of what he’s accomplished or what records he holds. He’s literally the most valuable football player ever.
The question who is the best football player ever or best athlete ever is hard to pin down but when it comes down to it
He is the GREATEST of ALL TIME.
Greatest QB, Most Accomplished, & Greatest person the football world ever had.
what about Jerry Rice and Lawrence Taylor? Those guys were spectacular also
@@spenser6353 sure they were but they would be under ONE of the greatest greatest athletes of all ti e

Solid list showtime sanders is an honorable mention
Well said
Could not agree more! And one of the Classiest Guys ever in Sports!
Very few people are as special as Mr Brady ! You will not witness this in many lifetimes!
Quarterback is the hardest position to play and he did it better than anyone
He is, because they used to say "Montana has more rings". They are out of excuses really.
They only say that Brady is the greatest because of rings.
@@IWantToMature85 really? Clearly you haven’t been paying attention.

Brady is in a stratosphere all by himself, any comparison or debate is just for TV.
No he’s the best QB of all time not best football player
@@user-sc8cl4ot7s Nah you're wrong.
@@user-sc8cl4ot7s QB is the most important position in the NFL so I’d say it’s about right. It’s just how you view the importance of each position and preference.
Its not the National Throw the ball Association. Football encompasses so much more than throwing a ball. There are so many Football things Brady can't do that others can do.
@@tahireed but he plays the most important position
1. Tom Brady
2. Joe Montana
3. Payton Manning
4. Jerry Rice
Lawrence Taylor was dominant but he was not solely responsible for taking his team to countless Super Bowls like Brady let it go Jeff Saturday I understand Brady beat you up when you were in the league but he’s clearly the best NFL player to ever do it.
LT played a different side of the ball you can’t compare the two LT was the greatest Defensive player of all time and Tom is the greatest offensive player of all tim
He also didn’t depend on players as much as offensive guys.
@@solobusiness4320 that’s a fair statement my guy but as the greatest overall player of all time I’m going with Brady lol mind you your talking to a New Englander here 😂
U clearly don’t know 🏈 football
LBs can't carry a team themselves. QBs can't either so the GOAT argument makes no sense.
Stephen a is the only person in the WORLD saying pontificate 🤣💯
🤣🤣🤣 foh cause it’s trueeee
Best player is a subjective term. But once you establish the standard for what constitutes the best player, you can make objective assessments on who that is.
Tom brady played a full year in his excellent career 365 games
Only player to have a rule made during game for him 😂
Stephen A said PRIMETIME last time! And he was right! Primetime was a freak of nature who was INCREDIBLE multiple positions! He came into the league and TOLD THE WORLD who he'd be and SURPASSED that! Tom Brady is the GREATEST QUARTERBACK! But I've never seen him run that football OR succeed without his "weapons". Stop it
THANK YOU
He has succeeded without weapons.
QB more important position we all know it deep down
the qb has way more of an impact on the game than a single cb
Stephen A took Jeff to school on this segment
Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, and Adam Vinatieri - NFL Mt. Rushmore
Tom Brady is the best quarterback who played the sport, the goat of NFL quarfterbacks, he has seven Super Bowl rings. But there are others who also could be considered the best football player ever.
We put all the best players in a draft. Tom Brady going 1st. You want to win the game. He’s won the most
It’s bizarre how people will say anybody else is the goat. No one effected winning more than Brady
@@littleman938 Oh absolutely. He overlapped everyone playing at his position.
@@Dibi1821 he wasn't always the reason why they won
Facts. If Tom Brady is "the greatest football player ever" what does that say about football? Is football even a REAL SPORT if Tom Brady is " the greatest FOOTBALL player ever"?
the one stat that really sticks out about brady is if you number crunch and look at what he's done in the playoffs > he has 18 playoff games where he has thrown for +300 yards or more including games of 505 & 466 yards passing
next is peyton manning at 9 games and in manning's last playoff game (SB) he tossed for only 134 yards , 0 TD's ,2INT's at age 38
at age 43 brady was SB mvp and had the greatest first half stats's wise in sb history
He never did fall off that cliff. GOAT
Jeff speaking from HURT. He was on them Peyton Manning lead Colts team.
First take celebrates a whole episode towards the goat.. great job!!
Primetime was a stud in ALL THREE UNITS OF THE GAME
I agree with Jeff you can’t declare the best player in football.
It's wild that many analysts are still entertaining this. This is barbershop talk and pretty much only applicable to individual sports, not team.
Top 5 QBs of all time
1)Brady
2)Joe Montana
3)Otto Graham
4)Terry Bradshaw
5) Troy Aikman
This is not even an argument. The answer is Yes.
Rocky Marciano 🥊
Babe Ruth ⚾
Tom Brady 🏈

"Rocky Marciano, That's they one"
tom brady = babe ruth and wayne gretzky
A short while ago SAS said it’s Dion Sanders. Hahaha SAS this guy is a yes man.
Tom Brady has more passing Td’s in his 40’s than Troy Aikman had in his entire HOF career…
And he's only been in his 40s for 5 years
I agree
He for sure carved his place in the NFL Mount Rushmore.
Who else thinks Rodgers is headed to Tampa now? I've been saying I think tb12 and ar12 had a master plan. And they both respect eachother beyond belief.
Tom Brady is the best Quarterback ever but not the best Football player ever, but he's so great and so accomplished that I understand if someone were to call him the greatest Football player ever
Who’s the best
@@chinesejedi1822 there's alot of options, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana was 4-0 in Superbowls and never even threw an interception in any of the 4 Superbowls, and then there's the issue of comparing Offensive players vs defensive players, Lawrence Taylor has an argument for greatest player ever, Deion Sanders was certainly a better Athlete then Brady, it's just difficult to compare offensive players to defensive players, that's why I just say Greatest Quarterback ever, but that's still very high praise
Does anyone know if TB12 will play pro bowl? Be good to see him have one more hit out and make it fun as well.
Lmao last time this subject was brought up. Stephen A said Deion Sandrrs
i remember last year whenxstephen A tried to say deion sanders😂

Dude got 3 separate hall of fame careers of his 20,30,40 it’s not even a question

Worst list cause you don’t have Peyton Manning
And terry bradshaw is no where near top 5
@@larryjames3437 That’s your opinion
@@UnknownRaiderGuy I don’t understand how you have Bradshaw and aikman ahead of Manning. Any other person will call you delusional
@@larryjames3437 Peyton was a great QBs but how many Rings Peyton had ? That’s why majority people will call you delusional putting someone that didn’t fully accomplish more seasons over someone who did. That’s your bias opinion on Peyton 🤷🏽♂️
when arron donald and arron rodgers play the same sport its hard to say who the goat is since the skillset is so different depending on position
Yes
Steven A. was so critical to Brady in the Beginning of First Take with Tom Brady...
1. Tom Brady
2. Lawrence Taylor
3.Joe montana
Greatest player ever at the most difficult position ever. 7 rings. He’s the GOAT.
Finally u said something true
what a hot take that was
Preach it, Stephen A.
Its interesting how most are praising his stats and wins but neglect his greatest ability. He makes everyone around him over perform. He brings the entire team to a new level of excellence that no other sports personality can claim. I don't understand the full measure of this but listening to many who played with him over the years I understand some of it. His true talent is not measured in statistics. Its only a byproduct.
This man has had a billion team mates and most say the same about him 🐐
if this is Stephen’s take then he needs to take back all his takes saying Rodgers is the best QB he’s ever seen if now all of a sudden the amount of wins you have determines who is the best player
He’s said he’s the best player he’s seen from a talent perspective, not overall.
LT, Brady, Deion Sanders...it can be tough taking positions out of the discussion.
Yes best qb position by position.....agree with that.....
Im tired of all the comments saying he's not G.O.A.T. What makes an ATHLETE ? Physical strength ? Sportsmanship? Brains ? Determination? competitiveness? Attitude ? Character ? Discipline ? Tom has all of that and add humility, loyalty, heart and passion. This man is definitely G.O.A.T in my books !
Jerry Rice is the greatest football player ever. Jerry also did it in his twenties, thirties, and his forties. Tom is the greatest qb ever
90’s kids got so lucky . Caught late Michael Jordan years , watched Kobe and Tom Brady at the same time , and saw young Lebron come up. Sheesh.
No one effected winning more than Tom Brady. There is no argument for anybody else being the GOAT at any other position
Haha stop it
and now in 2024, they are talking about Mahomes being better than Brady. SMH espn has 0 credibility
Payton Manning already mailed the check to Jeff Saturday
TB12 best ever athlete and best ever in the NFL, sad and happy for his retirement, Let’s Go!!!!!!
Woah what a hot take I’ve never heard anyone say this before
1. Brady 2. L.T 3. Rice (Honorable Mention) - Joe Greene 10 Pro Bowls /4 SB Rings - 2 time defensive player of the year
“I have always believed the sport of football is an ‘all-in’ proposition - if a 100% competitive commitment isn’t there, you won’t succeed, and success is what I love so much about our game, There is a physical, mental and emotional challenge EVERY single day that has allowed me to maximize my highest potential. And I have tried my very best these past 22 years. There are no shortcuts to success on the field or in life...... This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes, I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention.” - Tom Brady
Bring Max Back. This show sucks without him.
🐐
Goat of goats
This won't be an argument 50 years from now.
7 rings…3 MVPs…most TDs passed…most Yards thrown…most pass completions…in both the playoffs and regular season…and won in 3 different decades. Sounds like the best football player ever to me.
Sounds like the best QB ever
@@pettwaymichael I said sounds like it to me. I’m not gonna say anyone else’s opinion is wrong though. In regards to most important position it’s the QB so that’s how I see it. If people say Jerry LT Prime or whoever that’s fine but this my choice. It’s really no wrong or right answer.
Oh wow, what a bold take 😏
🐐 end of story
The worst thing about Brady retiring like he did is that he won't get a proper farewell tour like Kobe did
Well guess who decided to come back. The F'n 🐐 son. Now I can watch NFL Football for at least one more year.
Yeah… if The Rams don’t come down with that catch… Brady wins his 8th supper bowl this year
I'm a Pats fan and a Brady fan. That said... in football, probably more than any other sport... a team is more relevant than any single player. So I'd say there is no single greatest football player. Just greatest players at their position. And yes... Brady is the QB GOAT.
Brady also helped form those teams since he took paycut after paycut or altered his contract. Players also took less in order to play with him.
Lawrence Taylor doesn't even come close to Tom brady 😂😂😂😂😂
“Partificate” 😂
LT!!!
He could play 2 more season maybe more, but I think he made the right move smart man he played 22 season and didn't get injured only once and he's proved enough
