Then he's the GOAT or GOAT is pretty meaningless.

Not really. Brady’s accolades, stats and overall resume are clearly the best in history, and consensus is that he is the goat based on that. However, there are many people that acknowledge that in terms of peak playing ability, Rodgers is the best. Aaron Rodgers is the perfect qb, he has no flaws. Rodgers just wasn’t fortunate enough to play with bellichek, Moss, gronk or a top ranked defense during his career. It’s similar to the jerry rice/randy moss argument. Rice is the goat receiver, but at his best, Moss was more dangerous.

OK, but by that logic, if some guy comes in and plays 1 game and it's the best QB'd game ever played - he goes 40 for 40 for 800 yards and 8 TDs against a really good D, but then breaks his spine and never plays more than that 1 game, is he the GOAT? No...

To me the "GOAT" title has a lot of requirements, one of which is "being the best at playing the position itself" but also includes winning rings, being a leader, longevity, etc. For that list of qualifications, Brady is the GOAT and at this point it really isn't close. But Rodgers sticks out as far as actually playing the position... no one is better. If he can win 2-3 more rings it wouldn't be a competition though.
