[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 807779, member: 10086"] Brady is the best right now IMO, although Brady is 6 years ahead of Aaron so there’s still some catching up to do. An interesting note though is that Brady has had the luxury of multiple top 12 Defenses ( take a few minutes and go back and look at the Defensive ratings for each of their SB or appearance) Their is a massive disparity in NE D rankings and GB D rankings (I did the math a year or so ago and NE Defenses ranked an average of 7th best per SB) The argument I’m making is If we’re judging “best QB” strictly by Championships alone I would argue that the NE Defense was largely a factor in much of their success and if you were to invert those Defenses in each year of Aaron’s career and then give Aaron the equal number of seasons as a starting QB you might be surprised I would take it a step further and propose that if each year Aaron started he had a Defense ranked exactly the same as Brady had and vice versa? Brady would have at minimum 1-2 less Superbowls and Aaron would have 1-2 more. In 2011, 2014 seasons I predicted that the latter season that if our D ranking was top 1/3..we would win it all instead we lost in OT against Seattle. We moved Clay inside and dropped our ranking last second to 13th best D overall..exactly a penny short! A 7th ranked D would’ve eliminated both Seattle and NE that year because neither were dominant IMO. Put a 7th ranked D with that 2011 GB squad? GB would’ve absolutely steamrolled in the playoffs. Also the 2016 seasons come to mind immediately as one where a top 10 Defense would’ve paid dividends and likely pushed us past the NFC game at minimum. Don’t get me wrong, Brady is top dog and as solid as they come, but let’s at least judge a player righteously. The full story is that Brady has also been the recipient of stellar Defenses and a top tier coaching staff and without both those rings would diminish rapidly Pure individual talent to pure talent?? These 2 are very close in quality [/QUOTE]
