Brady on Montana

[kellys heroes 35]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he doesn’t consider himself to be among the NFL’s all-time best signal callers.


“That is a helluva question and I wouldn’t put myself in there,” Brady said on Westwood One Radio ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl 50 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers. “I think there are some incredible players that have played the position and a lot of guys do things differently to get the job done.”

For 38-year-old Brady, however, no quarterback deserves to be lauded more than former NFL-great Joe Montana.

“Nobody ever did it better than Joe Montana,” Brady said. “In a way, he was like the Michael Jordan of football. The style and the grace and the beauty of what Joe’s style was, it never looked hard for Joe.”

At least he recognizes his limitations when compared to the greats. Zero for Bo & 31 - 0 + App State.

Brady was saying the polite things, but I doubt he thinks he takes a back seat to anyone. Not sure why he would think that.

As much as I hate Tom Brady, it's hard to not to put him the top 4 or 5 best QB''s of all time. I am a Manning fan (Colts fan) & I would take Brady over Manning to win me a Super Bowl.

we need two GoaT categories for quarterbacks. Those who called plays and those who did/do not

Brady is smart. He knows how to talk to the media.

Wow, you think? Brady was being classy and polite. Of course he considers himself to be the best and he may well be.
