Tom Brady’s career is far more than 35 playoff wins, 10 Super Bowls, and 7 rings. It’s also not just longevity. He has some of the greatest statistical seasons of all-time and has led several of the best/most efficient offenses of all-time. Thread on regular season Brady:

@michael_diiorio Yep

@Winger23 On it

@TKchiefs15 @Young_Capital Just isn’t true at all

@Young_Capital Don’t really care what Twitter would say and evaluating how a QB played based on 6-7% of their dropbacks is pretty terrible process. Brady was better than him that night.

@pringle1496809 EPA, QBR, PFF grade factor those in.

@Crete_Keeper Where did I say that

@JT4630 They were nowhere even close to one of the worst defenses ever. And the gap in offensive weapons was massive.

@tjosephs77 ‘18 NE defense was 14th in DVOA (-0.1%) ‘18 KE defense was 23rd in DVOA (3.9%) Just passing defensive DVOA… ‘18 NE: 14th (6.9%) ‘18 KC: 11th (5.5%)

@AnthonyWebster_ Most importantly, this would have shot his passer rating over 100

8 years ago today

Tom Brady put up elite production (all-time great production/efficiency in his prime) and won a ton of games, CCGs, and SBs across several eras with different teams/rosters/offensive personnel

@TaylorNickels6 Yeah and if the three-peat matters, that implies that it’s about rings. And if people are really gonna make it about rings, then he needs 8.

@DougKyed @patspulpit I’ll just never understand. Like you said, 2001… sure. Even then he threw for 312 yards in a blizzard in his first playoff game. In the span of 2003-2004, he was top 5 in passing efficiency (with 0 All-Pro or Pro Bowl WRs/TEs) and did this in Super Bowls 38 & 39:

@DarthReid Never said there’s a good version. I said there’s a better version.

@knicks_tape99 Adjust for era and they’re almost identical.

@FF_TravisM The passer rating is 9.2 points apart, but when you adjust for era, Brady’s is better.

@thefib0624 No prob!
