Aqib Talib thinks Tom Brady is great, but not quite the greatest

Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib had nothing but praise for Tom Brady, but in his eyes, he’s not the greatest of all time.

Fresh off a Super Bowl 50 victory, Aqib Talib of the Denver Broncos is ready to place his vote for which quarterback he believes is the “GOAT,” or the greatest of all time. While Talib got to see up close and personal what Brady can bring to the table, apparently Manning’s ability to come back from the injuries in the 2015-16 was a real game-changer when it came to his vote.

Talib answered this question and more when speaking with the NFL Network in a recent interview:

Talib also didn’t shy away from giving some love to “Prime Time” Deion Sanders either, calling him the greatest defensive back of all time. We’re not sure how much the New England Patriots fans are going to love this one, but obviously with the Broncos flying high right now, Talib’s vote probably wasn’t too tough of a decision for him to make.

Regardless of which way you choose to vote, both Brady and Manning will go down in history as two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. That’s no surprise though, as the two have combined to throw for 129,968 yards and 967 touchdowns.

Now comes the real question, with Manning leading Brady in both of those statistical categories, will the former choose to call it a career this offseason? If so, that means the door will remain wide open only for Brady to add to his trophy collection in 2016 and beyond.
