Tom Brady arrived in Indianapolis this week with the nice, clean record of 140-40 as a starter. That’s only 100 games over .500, including the playoffs, in his 10 years as a starting QB. An average year for Brady has been 14-4. No other quarterback has ever been 100 games over .500. No other quarterback has even come close. Brady has a regular-season winning percentage of .780. Behind Brady are Roger Staubach at .739, Joe Montana (.713) and Ben Roethlisberger (.708). Those three are the only others among the top 50 winningest NFL QBs who won more than 70 percent of their starts. Peyton Manning? 150-77, including the playoffs. Terry Bradshaw? 121-55. Only Montana (133-54) and Staubach (96-36) even sniffed the level Brady’s reached. Brady and Montana are tied for career playoff wins (16) and Brady’s a win on Sunday away from joining Montana and Bradshaw as the only quarterbacks to win four Super Bowls. In short, no quarterback’s ever won more often than Brady.
Curran: Nobody’s done it better than Brady
Great article from Tom E. Curran about how good Tom Brady really is. I mean not as good as Eli Manning of course, that guy’s elite, but Brady isn’t too far behind him.
