Athleticism is in the eye of the beholder. I'd say in no particular order

MJ
LeBron
Phelps
Bo

Brady isn’t even close to the best “athlete” in the NFL. He’s the best and most clutch QB in NFL history but he is not an athletic QB.

Michael Jordan
Wayne Gretzky
Jim Thrope
Michael Phelps
Bo Jackson

Roger Federer's resurgence is putting him in the discussion IMO. What he's doing at his age is remarkable.

The argument was not if Brady's the most athletic, it's whether he's the best athlete. No one cares if runs fast or not.

oh neat nfl records.. i can post peyton mannings nfl records who has more than brady.... and manning isnt the GOAT.

if you want to say brady is the best football player ever, thats fine. Your opinion. But to say he is yhe greatest athlete of all time? lolol not close. Too many other factors in football to say any one player is greatest ever. One player cant change a game by himself on both sides of the ball like basketball, hockey, or as ive mentioned phelps who controls every aspect of his sport. Tiger would be in this talk, if not for getting clocked by a golf club and crashing. Maybe he still is..

Mj
phelps
gretzky

he isnt even remotely close to being in that group.

No one is questioning whether or not he’s the best QB. But when you consider the greatest athlete ever they should be extremely athletic along with having plenty of accolades and accomplishments.

GOAT QB? Sure, I’d definitely agree with that argument dude was such a brilliant successor to Joe Montana and surpassed him, for him to do that, gotta give him credit

Football is more of a team sport than basketball

therefore, Jordan > Brady

There are two types of people who believe Brady is the GOAT QB:

1. Pats homers suffering from fanboy induced cognitive dissonance
2. Idiots

Unfortunately, this site is full of idiots

So, make your case then. This is an open forum...who do you think is better than Brady and why? You can't just come in and shite on Brady and not say why you feel that way
