The argument all comes down to Brady vs Montana. They both have 4 rings, and Brady should have more (the Giants SB win over NE was a joke). Brady's stats dwarf Montana's. Brady has the most wins in history, and a longevity Montana didn't have (had many injuries in the second half of his career). Perhaps Brady will win another SB this year and put the argument to rest.

With the game on the line, you can't really go wrong with either of them.

I didnt vote because Driskel wasnt listed.

Brady. He's done it with a bunch of no names on his side of the ball for the most part.

Don't like the Pats at all but just respect the heck out of Brady and the entire organization.

Randy Moss is the only great WR Brady ever had to throw to, and that was only for a couple of years. No great RB's either. The Pats just throw a random castoff in there and they blow up.

No way New England wins the last SB if Seattle hands the ball to Lynch.

But you already pointed out they had the best coach ever. Brady just needed to show up.

Both QBs had brilliant coaches and schemes, although Brady plays in a time where the QB is FAR more protected (him in particular), so his stats have seen a boost because of that. The fact that Montana never threw an interception in four Super Bowls is ludicrous, though. Montana and Brady have both had plenty of clutch moments both in the playoffs, regular season, and Super Bowl. Montana had more dominant wins in his Super Bowls, whereas Brady has won them by 3, 3, 3, and 4. Two via last second FG and one by last second defensive miracle. The scandals against Brady don't help, either.

I tend to lean Brady over Montana because he's done more with less talent around him, but you can pretty much interchange them. Second half of Montana's career is fairly disqualifying to me.


Leaving out Manning was a nice touch.

Bradshaw was a winner no doubt, but his career stats are abysmal in comparison. Bradshaw and Aikman are similar - good QB's that made the plays that they needed to behind dominant defenses and running games.

Manning isnt on the radar but neither is Moreno.

Marino tends to get lifetime achievement accolades.
