Title town

Graham also led Rochester to the first ever NBA championship in his first year.

if Brady only plays the first two quarters of the SB but the Patriots still win, is he still half a SB behind Bradshaw for GOAT?


Why would he only play a half?

Even if it is a factor when someone says

One more, and he is in the running for GOAT. Two more, and he is GOAT.



that's making it the deciding factor and that is stupid

Why does the last 35 seconds in one game prevent Brady from being the GOAT now?


You don't think outcomes of games (more specifically Super Bowls) should be factored into a discussion.

35 seconds don't alter the judgment of a career

If Brady was the GOAT with 35 seconds to go, then he was still the GOAT 36 seconds later

And why isn't Bradshaw the GOAT? He has FOUR rings

Don't forget, there is no fact at stake. It's all about opinion in sports.

Most consider Jordan the GOAT in basketball although Wilts numbers dwarf his.

There are no definitive measurements.

Winners matter. Do you think that you can come up with some type of measurements that will convince everyone to your way of thinking?

Who do you think is the best?

False. There are facts they are called stats.

Yeah, I figured. Nice argument

He's probably the GOAT now.

SB rings are vastly overrated so I don't care if he wins 2 more or not.

And Unitas still won three rings. He dominated the regular season statistically like Manning did AND won in the postseason.

Lol is this a serious statement? So game winning shots don't matter because they're already the GOAT regardless?

Judging QBs purely by Superbowls is retarded.

That being said, I think when all is said and done, he'll go down as a top 5-7 QB.

Maybe. Who the QB is can make a difference when it comes to winning league championships. Let us take the Cleveland Browns. They won 8 league championships in their history.
Cleveland Browns (1946–95)
Suspended operations (1996–98)
Cleveland Browns (1999–present)
They won seven of them with Otto Graham as the quarterback. They went to the league championship all ten years he played, then the year he left they had a losing record. That is a hell of an argument for GOAT. Dan Marino had better stats in most cases, but I don't think anybody here is saying he is the GOAT. Why? Because he never won the big game. So, if you have to win one to be considered, it only makes sense that winning more makes a better case for you to be the GOAT.

See, I don't agree with this either, I think a combination of eye tests, stats, and postseason actions help determine who the best is.

So it would be Brady's fault if Vinateri missed?

Look at the final drive of SB 25 compare to to the final drive in SB 36. What is the difference?

Meh, most stats don't take into consideration dropped balls and wrongly run routes, same concept.
