Anyone nauseated by the constant "GOAT" or "Elite" QB Discussions?

I think it's the male equivalent to women arguing about fashion which reality star is the biggest "bitch."
For one, it's subjective and there is no final, definitive answer, that's why the subject never dies.
There is no established criteria, just perpetual arguments. Football is a team sport, and the other 50 something players and coaches and ownership play a significant role. You can not fairly compare eras, even a few years ago. Rules change, strategies change and that effects head to head comparisons.
Yes, it's pretty clear some are better than others, and in general winning multiple Super Bowls correlates pretty well to other indicators of success--same with passing yards etc.
Why can't we say who had the better career? That you can look at pretty well. Who is best? One will never know.
End Rant.

It's a message board to discuss sports. Not sure what you were expecting.

Nope. It never gets old talking about tGOAT Tom Brady

also, you should see a gastroenterologists if you're really nauseated by these discussions

Brady vs Montana is the new cool thing to talk about.

I don't think think so, but i guess it's hard to say anything is 100%. FWIW I have no problem with Brady.

because they both have 4 rings. I think it's a logical discussion as opposed to 'the new cool thing'.

Not really. We wouldn't be talking about it if Seattle didn't screw up

Drew Brees owns the highest completion percentage ever.
Drew Brees has more career yards than Brady.
Drew Brees has more career touchdowns than Brady.
Drew Brees played for significantly worse teams than Tom Brady.
Is Drew Brees greater than Tom Brady? This is why arguing sports is fun.

So now we assume Seattle scores if they run?

I love Brees and the Saints but 1 SB to 4 is the only stat that we really need.
Also, without looking it up, I think Brees has more total INTs?

That's a legitimate comment and I make look into it.

I'm all for arguing, I just see this as inane arguing because you can never reach a definitive end and rarely does anyone's minds change. I'm also not saying those that do are subhuman mongoloids.

I think Brees might have had more INTs this past year than Brady has his whole career

All I'm saying is if the Seahawks win, this conversation isn't happening at this level.
He is still an all time great regardless
