Tom Brady is the Greatest Quarterback of all time

As this will be the final round of the debate, I will respond to my opponents points, then add a point of my own, and finally wrap up what my argument is in a nutshell. I -- Playoff Success: Since my opponent opposed my points in a later section I will do the same. II -- Rapport with his Coach: My opponent mentioned that Brady and Belicheck's record only stands because "he's been around so long." I agree with this point partially. Yes, Brady and Belicheck have been together longer than most coaches and Quarterbacks, but there is a very simple stat that can solve this battle within the war altogether... Winning Percentage. With Brady and Belicheck's record sitting at 202-63, that adds up to a .762 winning percentage. Now you mentioned Terry Bradshaw and Chuck Noll, their record together sits at a pretty impressive 127-59. Though impressive, that winning percentage sits at .682. Now I'm no mathematician, so correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked .762 is better than .682. Sorry to burst your bubble. III -- CLUTCH Lets look at the stats that you mentioned. Manning has 56 game-winning drives overall and Brady has 51. Now I'm going to refute this point by bringing in another sport basketball. If player A shoots the ball 300 times and makes it 195 times, while player B shoots the ball 160 times and makes it 130 times does that mean that Player A is better? No it just means player A has had more opportunities. This is exactly what is going on in our argument. Manning played in 266 games before he retired, while Brady has played in 245. That is 21 more games, hence 21 more opportunities. IV -- The Regular Season Stats don't lie: This argument in a way directly correlates to the last one, and also helped remind me of another argument that I will expand upon later. My opponent mentioned how Manning has 539 touchdowns being just short of 40 years old. But does age matter here. The answer... no, what matters here again is games. Brady has 21 more opportunities to get those 67 more touchdowns, in order to do that he would just need to average slightly over 3 touchdowns per game for the next 21 games, which may I point out is extremely plausible. My opponent then went on to mention stats from multiple single years. I did notice that my opponent A. didn't mention this year which Brady is currently the league leader in yards, or B. that while Brady was in 20th last year had he played those 4 games for which he was suspended, he was projected to have more than Brees. Also you have talked so much about Manning yet he is only on the list twice... hmmm. Also, I noticed that you only mentioned passing yards in a year by year basis, lets look at for example, touchdowns LEAGUE LEADER IN PASSING Touchdowns: 2016: Did not start full season 2015: 1. Tom Brady 2014: 1. Andrew Luck 6. Tom Brady 2013: 1. Peyton Manning 11. Tom Brady 2012: 1. Drew Brees 4. Tom Brady 2011: 1. Drew Brees 2. Tom Brady 2010: 1. Tom Brady 2009: 1. Drew Brees 3. Tom Brady 2008: Injured 2007: 1. Tom Brady (50) 2. Tony Romo (36) 2006: 1. Peyton Manning 4. Tom Brady 2005: 1. Carson Palmer 2. Tom Brady 2004: 1. Peyton Manning 3. Tom Brady 2003: 1. Brett Farve 10. Tom Brady 2002: 1. Tom Brady 2001: Did not start the full season. 16 total season, 13 if you take out the three where he did not play the full season. Out of those thirteen seasons, Brady was the league leader in touchdowns 4 times. More than anyone else during that span. So if we're going to say regular season stats don't lie you're right they don't. There aren't any other QBs who find the end zone more often then Tom Brady in a given season. As my Stats show. V -- The AFC East's Daddy: I took the liberty of looking at the patriots out of division records over the years and comparing them to other division winners, lets take a look. 2016 1. Cowboys 10-0 2. Patriots 9-1 2015 1. Panthers 10-0 T3. Patriots 8-2 2014 T1. Patriots 8-2 T1. Cardinals 8-2 2013 1. Seahawks 9-1 T2. Patriots 8-2 2012 1. Falcons 10-0 T4. Patriots 6-4 2011 1. Packers (9-1) 2. Patriots (8-2) 2010 1. Patriots (9-1) 2009 1. Saints T8. Patriots 2008 Brady Injured 2007 1. Patriots (10-0) 2006 T1. Colts (9-1) T1. Patriots (9-1) 2005 1. Steelers (9-1) T6. Patriots (6-4) 2004 1.Patriots (9-1) 2003 1. Patriots (9-1) 2002 1. Eagles (8-2) T5. Patriots (5-5) 2001 Brady didn't play full season. Based on these stats this shows that Tom Brady helps his team win regardless of his opponents. In 13 full years Brady led to Patriots to six 1st place finishes in WLOD (Win-Loss out of Division) and three second place finishes. Sure they may have an easy division but remember 10 games are played out of division, and Brady finds a way to win those too. VI -- 5 Times: Yes Bart Star also has 5 Super bowl championships but in 4 of those years the playoffs weren't what they are today, it was just one game between the two best teams. A little easier no? In Starr's 5 Super bowl the payoffs were expanded yes, but they were simply expanded to just 4 teams. It was a lot easier to win it all then it is now. I think Brady's 5 are more earned then Starr's. VII -- Overlooked While you named some players that I have a lot of respect for and a really good, are any of them Tom Brady good? Are any of them in consideration for being the greatest ever at their respective positions? I'm sure you'll have some answers and I'm excited to hear them, because none of these players are close to the level that Tom Brady is at today. Now I will add a new point. Sorry it's so late!! VIII -- Health In argument #4 my opponent wrote this "Number one on the all-time list for passing touchdowns is Peyton Manning with 539. When he retired, he was one month away from turning 40." So is him having neck issues and not being able to stay healthy through out his career a positive, hmm good to know. Now Tom Brady is 40 plus a few months old and in pristine shape, his only major injury being his ACL tear in '08. Now if Peyton had been healthy he very well may have had a better career, and we may have been having an argument about him being the G.O.A.T. But we're not. Why? Because he didn't stay healthy, but Brady did. This is a point you can't overlook. In a Nut Shell -- Tom Brady is the Greatest QB to ever play in the NFL for many reasons. First of all he has had incredible amounts of success in the playoffs and regular season, more than most other QB's. He has won over and over again with the same coach, leading to the best Player & Coach winning percentage in history. He is incredibly clutch, leading 51 game winning drives and counting. He has helped the Patriots become an empire in the AFC East that has been almost completely uncontested. He is a 5 time Super bowl champ and 4 time Super bowl MVP. He was overlooked 198 times before giving a chance, and finally he is 40 in pristine shape, and doesn't look to be slowing down at all. To end I would like to Thank my opponent for taking my debate, it helped me grasp the opposing side of things so I can be more two sided. To the voters thank you for reading, and voting. Good Luck.
