started the third most consecutive games ever, set numerous records last year that past elite qb's in most cases havent gotten close too, some highlights from last season include setting all-time NFL records for most touchdown passes in a season (50), highest touchdown-interception differential (+42), most games with three or more touchdown passes (12), most touchdown passes in a month (20 in October 2007), and highest completion percentage in a game (92.9 percent on Jan. 12, 2008). Brady's 117.2 passer rating in 2007 was the second highest of all-time, while his 4,806 passing yards were the third highest single-season total in league history, most points scored in a season (589), largest point differential in a season (+315) and most touchdowns in a season (75). Brady and receiver Randy Moss set an NFL single-season record in 2007 for most touchdown passes between a passer and a receiver (23), with Moss's 23 touchdown catches also setting a league record. Brady enters 2008 with a 14-3 (.824) playoff record, the second best in NFL history behind Bart Starr (9-1, .900). Brady is the only quarterback in NFL history to start and win three Super Bowls before his 28th birthday.
want me to keep going?
he came into the playoffs to replace an injured QB as a rookie and sent his severly undogged team into the superbowl, won, and then won 2 more times in the next 3 years. had a perfect reg season (yes i know theres no superbowl win, but still only done 3 times, 4 if u include the final win). theres so many stats/records that he has over other elite qb's in the past, to say hes not the best ever is debatable, but to say hes not top 3 is absurd and just ignorant.
