    This is pretty incredible considering the unbelievably and Jacksonville game and a slow start:

    40 year old man whipping them all....its pretty incredible when you think about it. Hate him, but he's the GOAT.

    Ben played like a washed up QB earlier in the season. The hope by the coaches was that he could play better. He proved them right. The Steelers need to draft a QB of the future if one with potential falls to them in this draft.

    I think Big Ben still has the ability to play at a high level but I am not so sure his heart is in it! You’ve got to really want it to perform at a championship level. When he was younger there was no one hungrier or tougher. I see evidence of that diminishing. You better enjoy it while you can because I think this is it for him!

    If by GOAT you mean he has intimate relations with farm animals. Otherwise, Montana is the greatest!

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but the guy has 5 rings and 7 SB appearances...and, unfortunately, still counting.

    Nobody is saying he's washed up. Some of us thought he was early in the year due to his play, but he proved us wrong.

    At least 3 of those rings should have * imprinted on them. Montana didn't have coaches recording other teams practices, no speaker in the helmet (Some claim 2 in Brady's helmet), no assistants deflating the balls............
    I've always maintained that Brady is really good but, his team/coach cheat and he had to have known about it!

    He should be up there with ALL that talent on his side of the ball. Bell, Brown, Bryant, Juju, and James. Also a good O line. That said he’s been playing good in the last 4-5 games including the Pats game. I think there was so much confusion and up and down emotions at the end of that game he just threw a bad pass. I’m sure he was thinking we won it and they took it from us so I’m going to win it now no OT. Now is that the right mind set in that situation who depends on who you ask. He completes that pass we’re not talking about it. It’s on to Houston and hopefully we don’t have a hangover.

    Montana had Taylor, Rice, and Clark. Brady had Moss ( beast Moss...two seasons) and....a hof tight end whose often injured. Fairly or not, that's why the majority have Brady ahead.

    Now, Montana got to, and won, four SB's. He's 4-0. Brady is two miracle catches away from being 7-0. That's just insane though ( 5-2 record). Furthermore, he's been to 11 AFCCG's in total.

    The slight against Brady & hoodie will be the cheating stuff.

    This is what stops me from calling Brady the undisputed goat. Now, is he a top three QB of all time? Absolutely.

    He’s also some missed FGs and a fair few miracle calls away from 0-7.

    Just sayin’.

    I guess the thing about GOAT is that there are too many variables for it to not be subjective.
