I’ll hand it to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, he put on a heck of a show in Super Bowl XLIX against the Seattle Seahawks. He’s completely deserving of the Most Valuable Player award — his third — and was impressive in leading his team to a fourth Super Bowl victory.
But with all due respect to Tom and his accomplishments, he’s still not ready to pass Joe Montana in the realm of quarterbacking – whether it be in Super Bowls or for a career. Brady is great…Montana is legend.
Now before you New England fans start hurling obscenities in a New England lockjaw or launch empty Sam Adams bottles at your screens, or look up a mailing address to send me a 10-day old lobster covered in rancid butter, hear me out.
This is in no way a diatribe against Tom Brady, or any indictment of his abilities with or without a semi-deflated football. This is just a simple comparison showing that as great as Tom Terrific may be, he’s still got a ways to go before he can surpass Joe Montana in greatness.
And there’s nothing to say that Brady won’t one day be better….but for now, it’s Joe.
