  1. Is Tom Brady the GOAT?

No matter the sports network, radio, or site that you prefer one of the most asked questions of Super Bowl week is if Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all-time?  In a sports culture that is so fascinated with greatness and being elite this isn’t surprising nor is it an unfair question.

Brady has put together a resume to rival any quarterback in recent memory. There is no questioning that he is great but just how great and how much have the cheating allegations have tarnished his legacy? Brady is getting ready to play in the Super Bowl for the 7th time in his career and has won 4 out of the previous six. Losing twice to the New York Giants once in 2007 and once in the 2011 season.

The Patriots are the New York Yankees of the NFL everyone likes a winner until they win just a little bit too much. Whether or not Tom Brady is truly the greatest quarterback is an impossible question to answer that will continue to be debated both now and after the Super Bowl has ended regardless of the outcome.

Tom Brady is a great quarterback who has benefited from one of the best coaches in the league as well as playing in a very pass heavy modern NFL style of football.  Brady is the best quarterback as of now but compared to the quarterbacks who dealt with a much harder NFL in years past makes the question redundant and impossible to answer.
