This statistic comes as no surprise. All four quarterbacks have been crucial to their teams’ success over the last few decades. Brady especially has been revered for how great a winner he has been over the last few years. Furthermore, the rise of Aaron Rodgers has been absolutely incredible to watch, as he was able to take over for Brett Favre as the Packers leader.
Tom Brady continues to show his greatness
Drew Brees was one of the greatest signings in NFL history. He led an unconvincing New Orleans Saints all the way from minnow-status to Super Bowl champions. On the other hand, Ben Roethlisberger has been one of the longest-serving quarterbacks in the NFL, and has found great success with the Pittsburgh Steelers over the recent year. All four of these quarterbacks have proven how important they are to their franchises.
Tom Brady had another excellent post-season run last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his debut season with the Buccaneers, he was able to lead the Buccs from the playoffs all the way to a Super Bowl title. It was an incredible run for Brady, who showed how valuable he is, even at age 44. The Patriots’ loss was the Buccaneers’ gain, and Brady showed why he is one of the all-time greats.
