Was there a big talent gap between Tom Brady and the QB's in his era?

[OperationNumbNutts]

I'm talking compared to Rodgers, Brees, Farve and Manning. They say Mahomes is in a league of his own and the others are playing catch up.

Talent gap...............no. League favoritism.....................yup.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Manning was not more talented than Brady. Brady had the stronger arm. Peyton’s skill was his aptitude for the game. He probably had better touch on his deep ball. Drew Bledsoe was actually more talented than Brady at throwing he just didn’t process like him.

Manning hid that he had one of the worst OL in all of the league for 10+ years.

Thing is, people really just can't accept that Brady had the most perfect timing,placement and organization of any player at any position ever.

It was a gap between Tom and every single era...

7 rings..last one over Mahomes

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

not remotely true at all. U act like he was lighting it up in the playoffs up until his neck injury. Dude was a regular season hero, thats all.

You're having revisionist history breh.

10 years ago it wasnt just Brady is the GOAT. Manning was racking up so many MVPs that it became a legit debate. Brady just ran away from him completely as Manning became washed.

Remember 10 years Brady was still just at 3 rings. Manning was actually beating Brady in the playoffs lately as well.

Manning had a losing record in the playoffs before his neck injury. Nothing u can say will change that. He wasnt lighting shyt up and struggle against 3-4 defenses.

No, it’s the opposite. People can’t accept that a guy who was overlooked became that good. It’s confirmation bias. Brady literally was an extra second of blocking away from beating Peyton’s Broncos while being hit the most times of any QB in a playoff game in the past 25 years.

It’s first impression and nothing more. Brady didn’t have a better situation than Aikman or Montana or Ben or Mahomes right now and many others. Dude was winning 12 games a year with dudes no one remembered.

In the playoffs, yes. You could argue Peyton and Rodger’s were better regular season players but Brady clearly separated himself from when it mattered most.

 

[MrSpook]

Manning and Rodgers were even more talented than he was.

Even Brady-haters have given up this shyt

brady taught the world winning is not an individual pursuit*

@Juggalo Fred posting Barry mcockiner? He's the king of cherry picked stats

 

[BaggerofTea]

Brady started the see the game at a Jedi Master level post 2012 tbh

I'm not saying Brady is a terrible QB. In fact I will even concede that even though Tim Tebow has a better playoff qb rating Tom brady is still better

But he's always had the best defenses plus he and his coach are known cheaters this can't be forgotten

You can't name a QB in the history of the NFL who's had a more perfect combination of luck,timing,skill,help from his defense, a stable organization to develop and elite players than Brady.

while that isn't a mark against him... trying to craft it into being 20 straight years of hero ball in spite of everything is just true revisionist history.
