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.

Well thenI disagree as to what criteria--i.e. what questions are we answering--should be considered in determining the GOAT. Because, if the following is true....

And Aaron Rodgers isn't the GOAT, then the GOAT argument is nebulous and stupid.
