Ever since he broke out with the New England Patriots, a lot of people have argued whether Tom Brady should be considered the greatest quarterback in NFL history or not. For some, heās close but not quite there yet, and others believe that it shouldnāt be a debate.
Whether heās the GOAT or not is not for us to decide. Perhaps there have been others with more talent or fewer weapons, perhaps there have been others with worse coaching and without a helping defense but thatās not the point right here.
Whatās not up for debate is the fact that Tom Brady should be a first-ballot, unanimous Hall of Famer. Heās put up accolades at a historical rateand has won more rings than the rest of the great quarterbacks of his generation combined.
As a matter of fact, you could argue that if you divided Bradyās career into three, he could still make it to the Hall of Fame just with that third of his career alone, as the people from CBS Sports pointed out.

Tom Brady: 2015-20
Then, Brady finished his career with the Patriots on a high note before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In that span, he won 70 games (more than Otto Graham), had 189 TD passes (more than Troy Aikman), threw for 25,946 yards (more than Sammy Baugh), and won 2 titles (more than Brett Favre). This is just pure domination.
And if that wasnāt enough, in 2021 he led the Bucs to win the Super Bowl LV with a victory over Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. Brady is a living legend of the NFL!
