01: Tuck Rule

 04: Playoff Reid

 07: Owned by Eli

11: Owned by Eli again

14: Pete Carroll is a bozo

16: 28-3

17:Outplayed by Foles

18: Defense gave up 3 points

If that really is it, congrats GOAT. Most revered/hated QB I've ever had the pleasure/pain of watching, as a Ravens fan. Some of his records may come down in time due to the hyper inflated offensive state of the league, but to do what he did for the length of time he did is just insane. That level of longevity I don't think anyone will be able to achieve ever again.

Leading the league in TD passes and calling it a career would just about be the most boss way possible to go out, next to winning a SB.
I hope he retires (he's already the Goat, another SB ain't changing anything), but wouldn't be shocked if he came back for one more. If Tom had no kids, no question he would play another season or 3. The desire/obsession to win/compete is going to nip at him all offseason.

Same thing with Joe montana

1982: Montana threw for only 157 yards and a touchdown. Thats terrible. Bengals turned the ball over 4 times, and the 49ers settled gor 4 fgs

 

1984: : At a June 2015 charity event in Pittsburgh, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana confessed that, in the 80s, his "offensive lineman used to spray silicon on their shirts." Montana said they continued the practice "until they got caught."

1988:  Former San Francisco wide receiver Jerry Rice admitted in an ESPN video history on the evolution of wide receiver gloves that he illegally used stickum on his own gloves to make his job easier.

You aren't following the argument closely.

Your argument is just bad dude. Like not for nothing the entire premise is basically you deciding there is only one criteria and rigidly sticking to it and then ignoring the overwhelming case he has for himself. It's an extremely iffy subjective standard you are placing to make a disqualifier. It's not even an evaluation. You just wanted to find one argument you could use to dismiss the whole debate. 

Even the details don't hold up. You used All Pros. Okay....  that's an award that writers literally vote on and give. Like I said, those same writers got together at the end of two different decades, got to consider all the evidence and criteria they had, and said Brady was the best QB over the guys they gave All Pros and MVP's to during those years. That's literally the source of your evidence disagreeing with you. 

It's a logically flawed argument and it falls apart the minute you hold a microscope to it. 

Also contextually, it also is designed to penalize Brady for playing in a golden age of QB's despite the fact that in the hardest era for a QB to standout he still outdid everyone in history. 

Like Jordan couldn't even string together two consecutive MVP seasons, how would his career have looked if Magic, Bird, Kobe, and Lebron all had the cores of their career coincide with his peak? Because Brady had pretty much all of Manning, Rodgers, and Brees careers line up well within his career, and then had guys like Farve and Warner playing a good solid chunk in the first half, and then the last 4 years had Mahomes (and is the reason Mahomes is lacking two rings). And that's just super elite guys. Let alone the Bens and Rivers of the world. The best players during Jordan's peak were Hakeem, Malone and Barkley. Those guys are really good. But it's not like he his peak years were lined up with anything close to what Brady did (and Brady won more titles than him and only has 2 less MVP's). He was fortunate he took off after Bird and Magic declined and before Kobe took off and Lebron entered the league.

It's just a very flawed argument that isn't looking to engage with any information and just wants a conveniant excuse to end the argument.
