Rodgers is better. Young was better. Manning was better. Some of the older guys possibly were as well (Marino, Graham, Montana - though Montana may be another case of success vs ability, I haven't watched enough of him to know for sure).

and by that logic, jawalrus russell and mike vick are the best QBs of all time.

Correction: Belichick.

Brady w/o Belichick is just another good QB.

McCarthy helped Rodgers change his play. Walsh put Montana in the most state of the art offense of all time. The Colts gave Peyton Manning the best receiver Corp for a career for any QB. Brown gave Otto Graham the most stacked roster of the 50's. Dan Marino had Shula

 

Coyld play this game with anyone.

You missed the point. Brady's fingers wouldn't have near the same amount of jewelry without the greatest HC in NFL history.

Huh?

Montana has less without Walsh and the WCO

Manning has less without Polian or Elway stacking his teams

Graham has less without Brown

Starr has less without Lombardi

Bradshaw has less without Noll

Eli has less without Coughlin coaching that defense

Rodgers probably has none if McCarthy wasn't a QB guru who changed his play style

Same argument

You said without Belichick, Brady is just another good QB....it's a ridiculous statement.

 

Would he have as many rings, probably not....would he only be considered "another good QB", absolutely not. The guy is at/near the top for almost every passing statistic. To brush of his current ranking of the greatest of all time, to simply, "another good QB", is you suggesting that rings are the only thing that propels Brady to the pedestal that he is sitting on now, which again, is wrong.

 

So please explain how without Belichick, Tom Brady would be considered, "just another good QB", like many before him.

We just can't use passing stats to compare QBs. Passing is easier today than even ten years ago, and and it was even more difficult for the elite QBs of the 80s. Joe Montana was just better, without the SB losses, and I can't imagine him losing SB 42. Brady is a top five QB, but his numbers wouldn't have been as impressive under 1980s rules.

I love how losing in the NFCCG is better than losing in the Super Bowl. Joe Montana was the GOAT up until Brady put together back to back legendary SB performances.

 

The bolded is a completely baseless assumption with no evidence to back it up whatsoever.
