Easily. Only QB with a better resume is Montana da Gawd


Tom Brady has the highest winning percentage in NFL history (78% regular season and 75% postseason) and has comparable, if not better, per game numbers than Manning and Marino...not to mention he has 3 Super Bowls and 16 career postseason victories and only Montana is better with 4 Super Bowls and 16 career postseason wins. He has arguably the most dominant single season ('07) and most efficient single season ('10) in NFL history. He's converted 24 of 34 comeback opportunities in his career (71%), which is the best in NFL history. His touchdown-to-interception ratio (2.6) is the best in NFL history among all players with 2,000 or more passing attempts as well

Yea, I guess Michigan was holding him back:mjpls:

They were. They were enamored with super drew and they should have sat one of them and commited to the other. Brady performed well but hes the type that when you show confidence in him, he will deliver in spades. He alwags had to fight for a spot at mi and it held him back a bit.

Yeah he was obviously a steal...but I think the situation he fell into played a huge role in his success. Not to take anything away from him, but if he was drafted to another team, with another coach, I think its very possible we still wouldn't know his name.

I suppose but hey, thats their fault. The rest of the league had at least 5 chances to get him.
