Contents
It’s a question that has been debated for years, and one that is unlikely to have a clear answer anytime soon. Who is the best NFL quarterback?
Tom Brady
Tom Brady is widely considered to be the best NFL quarterback of all time. He has led the New England Patriots to nine Super Bowl appearances, winning six of them. Brady has also been named Super Bowl MVP a record four times. He is the only player to have won the award in three different decades (2000s, 2010s, 2020s).
New England Patriots
Tom Brady is an American football quarterback for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He is one of only two players to win five Super Bowls (the other being defensive end Charles Haley), and he is the only player to win them all playing for one team. Brady has also been selected for 10 Pro Bowls, more than any other quarterback in NFL history. His career postseason record is 25–9, winning more playoff games than any other quarterback, and as of 2019, he has an overall regular season record of 200–61, giving him the most wins by a starting quarterback in NFL history.

Brady is one of only two quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl in their first season as a starter, the other being Kurt Warner. He is also one of only three quarterbacks to have won a Super Bowl after turning 40 years old; Warner and Peyton Manning are the others. He has won five league MVP awards (the second most ever behind Peyton Manning’s five), he has been selected to 14 Pro Bowls (also second all-time behind Manning’s 14), he has led his team to more division championships than any other quarterback in NFL history (17, tied with Peyton Manning), and he holds numerous regular season and postseason records.

Drew Brees

Aaron Rodgers
When it comes to NFL quarterbacks, there are a lot of great options out there. But, if we’re talking about the best of the best, there’s only one name that comes to mind: Aaron Rodgers. Here’s why Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL today.
Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at California, where he set several career passing records, including most passing yards in a single season. He was selected in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Packers.
In his first NFL start, Rodgers replaced future Hall of Famer Brett Favre in a Monday Night Football game against division rival the Minnesota Vikings, and helped lead the Packers to a 24–19 come-from-behind victory. Rodgers started all 16 games for the Packers in 2008 and led them to an NFC Championship Game appearance despite a 6–10 record during the season. In 2010, he was named Associated Press Athlete of the Year and MVP of Super Bowl XLV after leading the Packers to a 31–25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, becoming only the second quarterback to win both awards in their first season as a starter.
Two-time NFL MVP
In 2011, Rodgers led the Packers to a 13-0 start, throwing a then-NFL record 31 touchdown passes and four interceptions in the first half of the season as the Packers became the first team in NFL history to clinch a playoff berth in Week 12.
