Who Is The Best QB In NFL History?
Contents
In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the best quarterbacks in NFL history and try to answer the question: who is the best QB of all time?
Tom Brady
I think that Tom Brady is the best QB in NFL history. I have several reasons for thinking this. First, he has played in ten Super Bowls, winning seven of them. That is an incredible accomplishment. Second, he has thrown for more touchdowns than any other QB in history. Third, he is still playing at a high level at the age of 42. Finally, he has shown a tremendous amount of dedication to his craft, spending countless hours studying film and working out.
His stats
In his first 20 seasons as quarterback, Brady has played in ten Super Bowls with the Patriots, winning seven of them, the most of any player 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 five quarterbacks to win Super Bowls in four separate decades. He shares the record for the longest touchdown pass in a Super Bowl, 93 yards to Rob Gronkowski in Super Bowl LIII.
His Super Bowl wins
Tom Brady is an American football quarterback for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He is one of only two quarterbacks to have won five Super Bowls (the other being Charles Haley), and he is the only player to have won them all playing for one team. Brady has also been awarded four Super Bowl MVPs, which is the most ever by a single player.
