    No comparison. Brady is the GOAT.

    The game was different during the age of Otto Graham. Comparing Brady and Graham really makes little if any sense. While it seems everyone has to have their all time lists for just about everything, there is nothing to be gained by measuring with a yardstick of today that benefits from progess at several levels as it merely diminishes the yardstick for Graham's Day and the accomplishments of others of that time. Over time players like Graham will continue to fade in part because fewer remain to tell or share their stories of what it was like to see them play.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    On your list perhaps. Over the last 50 years the consensus GOAT is the guy currently playing. One needs a bit more perspective.

    All you have to do is look at his accomplishments. Nobody has done as much.

    Who would you put above him???

    Montana #1
    Unitas #2

    The next 3 or 4 names (including Brady) are fungible.

    It's hard to find anything wrong with this list.

    What have you done for me lately? I'd be willing to bet that in 50 years the list of the ten greatest QBs ever will consist of at least 50% of those not yet born. Some old timer will try to explain how really great Brady was.

    I know what you are saying, but somebody has to accomplish more than Brady to be considered better. That is a really tall order.

    I never saw Unitas play but my five would have Manning at 3 with everyone after sliding down a spot.

    WOW......I can't believe I forgot about Manning. He would be my #2 with every below moving down.

    Brady #1 and the rest of the players on anyone’s list will all be great candidates just different opinions.
