But at their absolute peak, the best they ever were, of the Modern QB's I'll take peak Manning over Peak Brady. They were close, but I have never seen a QB in control of a game and dismantle any defense as good as Manning at his peak. As far as comparing him to other QBs from different times, to me that is only guessing so I stay away from doing that. Manning was a great field general. Did so with a lot of flair, whereas TB was more ice. Manning absolutely belongs in the conversation. As for older QB’s I’d have to say Montana was the best ever. Ice in his veins, first QB to run the killer “West coast offense”. Mobile, great arm and was fantastic at last drive wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Will he be the first player ever to defeat father time? I mean the guy played until 44 and never lost a step right up until retirement.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Don’t forget how many times Favre “retired” …have we really seen the end of TB12 even if he does announce it himself from behind a lecturn? Just sayin’ with the type of drive he has, all he needs is to get a call from a QB needy contender next year and we may be staring him down again.

Yeah I would say Brady had the best career but IMO Peyton and Rodgers were better QBs. They just didn’t enjoy the team success that Brady did. It’s all splitting hairs though. They’re all incredible.

Nor all the favoratism calls and cheating that existed. Thank God, now go away Marsha. Well until he actually isn't on a nfl roster opening day 2022 I'm not gonna rule out the possibility that he's just doing the retirement route so he can get released and maybe get 49ers to sign him. Maybe AB rubbed off on TB12 somewhat? Of course, it's very possible and probable that Giselle is demanding he retire. She obviously has the final say in that relationship. Brady credits her with her witchery with altars and whatnot -- all she'd have to do is say she won't do her voodoo stuff and now that he's drawing PF for whinging at a non-call RTP that had his lip bleed he doesn't wanna be taking the hits at 45 after all. Playing when the refs got your back is totally different than when they may let some borderline stuff go. I could see either as being what transpires so until it actually happens I really don't even care either way. I'd have liked to see Josh win his first SB by just outplaying Brady on whatever nfc team he plays on if he isn't really retiring. I'll enjoy all Josh Allens playoff success even if his Sb wins aren't against Brady. Edited January 30, 2022 by AuntieEm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Tom Brady has millions of reasons to extend his career just another week According to Spotrac, $15 million of Brady’s $20 million signing bonus was deferred to Feb. 4, 2022. If Brady retires before Friday, he will give up the bonus money. Should Brady decide to continue to the 2022 season, Spotrac notes his entire salary would be guaranteed but voided if he decides to retire. https://www.foxbusiness.com/sports/tom-brady-millions-reasons-extend-career-another-week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
