From New England to Denver, Tom Brady kicks ass on and off the field. He’s been breaking record after record, and destroying the game. He has a gorgeous family, a beautiful set of Super Bowl rings, and enough talent to last him well into his 40’s. Here are my 11 reasons why Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL.
1. Unanimous MVP
Does this one even need an explanation? He was the first unanimously voted NFL MVP. No one has ever done that before, even when Brady took his team to an undefeated regular season, he wasn’t voted MVP unanimously. I doubt there will be another player to have the same impact that Brady has.
He’s tied with Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw for most Super Bowl wins in the NFL. He has appeared in a total of 6 Super Bowls, the most in the NFL. He almost has enough rings for one hand!
Brady has won a total of 22 playoff games. The next closest quarterback had only won 16 in his career. That quarterback is Joe Montana. He has blown the competition out of the water when it comes to playoff wins. He also has the most consecutive wins in the postseason with 10 wins from 2006-2011.
Brady endorsed Ugg brand shoes and didn’t get any flack for it. Or rather, he didn’t get nearly as much flack as any other athlete would have. Now this wasn't Brady's best moment, but it certainly wasn't his worst!
5. Most regular season wins
Now technically, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre have Brady beat on this one, but there is one major difference: Brady has the most wins while remaining on one team. Brady has brought the New England Patriots 172 wins over his 16 seasons. With both Favre and Manning retired, there’s no doubt that he will take the record within the next two seasons.
6. Six AFC Championships
Brady has appeared in 10 AFC Championships and has won 6, the most for an NFL quarterback.
7. Three Super Bowl MVP’s
He has won MVP in all but one of the Super Bowls that he won with the Patriots. He is tied with Joe Montana for the most.
8. B and B
Belichick is debatably one of the best coaches in the NFL, and the combination of him and Brady is deadly. Together they have the most Super Bowl appearances of any quarterback/coach duo. They are friends off the field and a power couple on the field. Brady and Belichick bring honor to New England one Sunday at a time.
Getting anything over 50 points in a football game is an accomplishment. Doing it eight times is insane.
10. He’s 38 with no signs of stopping
This will be Brady’s 17th season in the NFL, and he’s just as strong as he was when he started. He’s beating records left and right, winning playoff games, and making the most of his receivers. 16 seasons, with 4 rings, a career postseason record of 22-9, 58,028 passing yards, 428 touchdowns, and a 96.4 quarterback rating makes him one of the greatest NFL players of all time.
11. His Family
He has the perfect family. His wife is literally a model, as in, she models for a living. Gisele is beautiful, and so are his children. He's an amazing father and husband and treats his family well.
