Is Tom Brady the best QB ever?

When I first thought of this I thought no, but I think now more and more that he might if he keeps putting up numbers like this for another 4 or so years. I have only seen him play one bad game out of perhaps 100 in his life and that was the play-off game vs Denver in 05 season. Montana and him are similar. To think he went in the 6th round!

Exactly.

I don't care who is catching passes for him. If he can do this for another 2-3 years, then he has to be the leading candidate to be the best QB of all time.

Until then, we'd just be jumping the gun. We can't assume that 2007 was anything but the best year Brady will ever have.

P.S. He was pretty horrible in the San Diego playoff game last year, and not too much better against San Diego this year.

He wasn't bad against SD. Sometimes a Qb gets in a situation where they have to force the ball instead of checking it down, which he did a few times. Horrible? No way. This year's game against SD was probably his worse game.

I understand. I'm just saying that 3 interceptions in a single game is pretty horrible. Especially when your team is good enough to overcome not once, but both times.

Single game stats aren't nearly enough to say anything conclusive, but you can tell how good a guy is by looking at his career stats, and you can do it every time, as long as you respect the era he played in.
