Re: [Other] 5 Greatest Athletes of ALL time?

Brady/Belichick might make the list.

I think we may be missing some tennis pros as well.

Cal Ripken ?

Brady isn't much of an "athlete". Vick is a better athlete than him. If i were to make a list of the smartest athletes Brady would easily be mentioned along with the Mannings bros, etc.. Only a few QBs I would like to put, Fran, Steve Young, Cunningham and a couple others i'm probably forgetting

I think you have to factor in results.

Brady/Belichick create results.

Cal Ripken's streak is really really impressive and worth honorable mention. I can't remember the number of consecutive games but it was astronomical.

Oh you are right they do create results. But physically Brady doesn't have a Favre type of arm, can't run to save his life - his results come from him being so intelligent and making good reads moreso than physical skills.

Do you forget Brady/Moss?

He may not have the ball speed that Farve does, but he throws a much nicer rainbow deep ball. Brady is a classical QB with classical reads and skills. He is mechanically amazing.

Going from a 4 wide spread offence to a 2 tight end 10 yard offence the next season and winning with both is amazing in my book.

I am biased. Hes a wolverine.

In the 2007 SB Moss was wide open for the win. Brady Underthrew him.

Fair.

The other 50 they did complete were B E A UTIFUL though.

It was. But it's also RANDY MOSS. If we are talking honorable mention Moss deserves to be on that list before Brady. Moss made Culpepper an all-pro and almost an MVP. Brady has an NFL arm which is great but he doesn't have a legendary arm.
