Terry Bradshaw took some time on Thursday to discuss Tom Brady and the Hall of Fame quarterback made some interesting comments. While speaking about Brady departing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bradshaw shared his controversial stance on Brady's legacy.
“I don’t think he’s the greatest quarterback of all time,” Bradshaw said via 93.7 The Fan. “It’s hard to say. He may be the best quarterback we’ve had in the last 30 years. Is he better than [Roger] Staubach? No. Is he better than Dan Fouts? No. Dan Marino? No. I’m talking talent-wise when you put all of it together.”
As a sixth-round pick in the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, Brady became the most accomplished quarterback in NFL history. In his 20 seasons with the Patriots, he won six Super Bowls and was a three-time NFL MVP. His six Super Bowls are the sole reason why Bradshaw believes Brady is considered the GOAT.
“Does he have more Super Bowls than anybody? Yes, therefore he’s the best. I absolutely have no problem saying it. If you’ve got the most Super Bowls, and he’s done it, you can be in there. But I don’t put anybody as the greatest of all time. I would never do that.”
Even though he doesn't have the strongest arm or the ability to make plays with his legs, Brady is still an extremely talented quarterback. Regardless of talent, a quarterback doesn't throw for 74,571 yards and 541 touchdowns by accident.
Despite turning 43 years old later this year, Brady's decision to sign with the Buccaneers has turned Tampa Bay into a perceived contender. It's safe to say that Bradshaw is going to face some heavy criticism for his opinion on Brady's legacy.
