Fans try to determine where players fit on a greatest ever scale to try and give context to sports. People love lists, they love to debate what era is better, but frankly, if you are in the discussion, that's all that matters.

Here's the thing: Best QB doesn't mean best PLAYER. I am in no way saying Brady is the best PLAYER ever or even in the Top 5. However, what a QB is supposed to do: Make throws, score points, hang in the pocket, lead and most importantly win, it is pretty clear he IS in that discussion. Who exactly is ahead of him? Nearly every other QB has flaws as well. Montana is about untouchable since he was the focal point for every Super Bowl, but Bradshaw, despite being 4-0 in the Super Bowl won some of the games due to his defense. Peyton is probably the best regular season QB of all time but has been inconsistent in the playoffs and in fact has a losing postseason record all-time. Brees and Rodgers still have a lot of career left. The older QB's, Unitas, Starr, etc, etc deserve mention but they played a different brand of football. I would argue they were better PLAYERS but notbetter QB's.

To underscore, I think Brady is a Top 5 QB, not a top 5 Player of all time. I'd say Jim Brown was the best player of all time, followed by in some order Walter Payton, LT, Jerry Rice and Montana.

Take care all and go Giants.
