Dr LBC Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't care to answer because neither of them is Reggie White, so having this discussion would be debating consolation prizes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

childofpudding Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I think that if you factor in the relative importance of each position, then you clearly have to go with John Hannah, the greatest left guard in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobikus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Rice between the two, but he's still just second to Reggie White. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lod01 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Jerry Rice. he could have thrived in any era. This is hwat Brady would have looked like if he played in the 70s: Except unlike Bradshaw, he would have never returned to the field.

Brady won 2 Super Bowls pre 04, which is basically the same as the 90's. Also Brady's probably been one of the more durable QB's ever.

Plus the league had fewer players and the AFC was SIGNIFICANTLY weaker than the NFC. Brady would do just as well with Chuck Noll if not better than Bradshaw did. The 1976 Steelers had a defense that had 5 shut outs in 14 games, anyone could manage that team with that defense and win a Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoeless Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Brady is the GOAT. So him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Different positions, mostly different eras. You can't really compare them on the field. I will say that both stand out as very hard-working players who are serious as a heart attack about their work ethic, physical fitness, preparation, and professionalism.

3rivers Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I can't stand the pats but Brady deserves the nod IMO. Rice had stability with 2 great QB's and teams that were usually SB calibre teams for the first 10 years and mostly before FA took over. Brady has had to deal with constant changes in the roster and his longevity has set the bar. Rice liked pine tar, brady and BB liked video signals so those deficiencies offset in this comparison. How about voting for the player that didn't have the studying work ethic and was "just" great without trying: LT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a tremendous regular season for anyone, but with each game against playoff teams... I wonder how some of the great QBs of yesteryear look with their most recent 16 playoff games? ...if they have that many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statistics are a reflection of that Pretty much this. Brady is the greatest QB in NFL history, but he isn't the overall best player to ever play. He has never been overwhelming dominant compared to his peers. He is the NFL version of Tim Duncan, not Michael Jordan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare him to his peers, I agree and this is a good comparison. In football positional value plays a big role to winning games so to a lot of people that needs to be considered. In basketball all 5 positions are more or less the same, in football it's different. The word greatest to me is always in combination with winning and who contributes to it most. For that matter, I would call Jerry Rice and Lawrence Taylor the 2 most dominant football players of all time, not the greatest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice, Reggie White, Taylor, Jim Brown etc. were just more dominant players individually then Brady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
