Of all the GOAT debates in sports, one of the easiest to call comes from football, because there isn’t a debate at all. Tom Brady made the conversation an open-and-shut affair. There are no competition concerns, numbers to scrutinize, or “yeah, but”s to explore. The only mystery isn’t who the GOAT is, but how it ended up being the 199th pick of an NFL draft. Let’s explore what makes a skinny 6th round quarterback in the world’s most brutal sport the unequivocal greatest of all time. It’s easy to start with statistics, and there’s no reason to bury the lede, so let’s begin there.

The most important position in all of sports is, arguably, quarterback. There have been dozens of phenomenal quarterbacks in NFL history. What makes Tom Brady so unique is that he has more passing yards, passing touchdowns, 4th quarter comebacks, game-winning drives, regular season wins, postseason wins, Super Bowl victories, and Super Bowl MVPs than all... His 12 combined Super Bowl rings and Super Bowl MVPs are five more than any other player in NFL history. His Approximate Value–a statistic created by Pro Football Reference to estimate career value–is 49 more than any other player, which is greater than the difference between 2nd place and 9th place. He not only has the greatest career in history, but his 2007 regular season is arguably the greatest season in history.

Brady’s career statistics are enough to end the debate, but there are several other angles that bolster his legacy. For instance, Brady’s impact on winning is unrivaled in the sport. Bill Belichick is often included on the Mount Rushmore of NFL head coaches, and rightfully so. Belichick has a record six Super Bowl victories as a head coach, and appeared in a record nine Super Bowls. However, Belichick owes quite a bit to Brady for his success. Belichick’s career regular season record without Brady is 83-104 (.444).

With Brady? Well things look a little sunnier at 219-64 (.774). Belichick’s career playoff record without Brady stands at just 1-2 (.333). Again, with Brady, that record balloons to 30-11 (.732). Certainly, there was some mutualism between Brady and Belichick in New England, but Belichick was unsuccessful in three NFL stints without Brady. Brady without Belichick?

This is where Brady’s legacy reaches the land beyond the land of the absurd. Brady left New England to be the starting quarterback for Tampa Bay in 2020. Tampa had not made the playoffs in the previous 12 seasons, and carried a 7-9 record in 2019. In Brady’s first season without Belichick, he was the MVP of the Super Bowl! Brady would go on to lead the Bucs to the playoffs in all three of his seasons in Tampa, and did so in his mid-40s. Brady’s career regular season without Belichick is 32-18 (.640), and his playoff record is 5-2 (.714).

It is rare in sports that we get to see such a definitive conclusion on the relative importance of a single player as we’ve been able to see with Brady. His massive success with and without Belichick, and with and without the Patriots and Bucs, combined with Belichick and Tampa’s poor records without Brady shows just how instrumental Brady was to his winning endeavors. Brady’s massive statistical ledger and his impact on winning are more than enough to close the book on this debate, but there’s more. Brady’s sustained excellence is only rivaled by LeBron James in the history of professional sports. Brady led the NFL in passing yards in his 20s, 30s, and 40s. He did the same with touchdowns.

He won multiple Super Bowls in his 20s, 30s, and 40s. As a starting quarterback, Brady was 70-24 (.745) in his 20s, 113-28 (.801) in his 30s, and 68-30 (.694) in his 40s. There are only three quarterbacks in history besides Brady who won two Super Bowls with at least a .694 career winning %, and Brady accomplished that in his 20s, 30s, and 40s. Brady’s sustained excellence shows up even more if we move beyond the fact that he’s the all time leader in so many categories, and explore just how big his margin is over second place... His 10 Super Bowl appearances are four more than any other player. His 251 regular season wins are 65 more than any other player.

The difference between Brady and 2nd place is the same as the difference between 2nd and 12th place. Brady’s regular season win total is twice as many as all but 8 quarterbacks in NFL history. Brady’s 35 playoff wins are more than double any other quarterback in history. He has twice as many passing yards as all but 18 quarterbacks, and twice as many passing touchdowns as all but 12. Roger Goodell showed just how committed Tom Brady is to maintaining excellence in both of his positions as a broadcaster and team owner. When Tom Brady finally received the approval from NFL owners to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, there were a lot of concerns regarding his dual role as a Fox Sports...

However, a recent statement from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell showed just how committed the NFL legend is to maintaining excellence in both positions. Since his retirement in 2023, Brady has maintained an active presence in the football community. And just as dedicated to football, which earned him the title of Greatest of All Time, he is equally committed to his new responsibilities as a Fox Sports analyst and Raiders owner. As Goodell revealed Brady frequently checks in with him to ensure that he balances both his roles effectively and does not result in any conflict of interest. Tom has been incredibly cooperative. He calls frequently about it and says, ‘Am I doing ok?’ And I think he’s serious about making sure that he separates these two and he doesn’t put the league or anyone in a...

Roger Goodell says Tom Brady "calls frequently" to make sure he's balancing his owner and broadcaster responsibilities appropriately. pic.twitter.com/5ADFYcC0r9 Oindrila Chowdhury|PublishedJul 06, 2024 Tom Brady has long been hailed as the GOAT quarterback in NFL history — a title that few would dispute. But what qualities make him stand out even more? And who better to shed light on this than his trusted former teammates, Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman, who played pivotal roles in the New England Patriots’ three Super Bowl victories (XLIX, LI, and...

During their recent appearance on the Games to Names podcast, Edelman and Gronkowski divulged the keys to Brady’s success. According to Edelman, Brady’s work ethic and his ability to lead by example are what make him the true GOAT. Considering everything Brady preaches and practices, the former wideout wholeheartedly believes that TB12 will excel at broadcasting. Gronkowski shares the same sentiment and emphasized during the conversation that Brady’s dedication is the foundation of his NFL success. While many athletes, especially the new generation, discuss greatness in theory, Brady proves it in practice. “I want to hit on what you just said again because you really don’t see that anymore in this generation.

He really practices what he preaches. There’s no ‘ands, ifs, or buts’ about Tom Brady being Tom Brady. What he puts out there, what he preaches, he practices it.”
