Heard Steve Smith talking about this on NFLN and he said Jordan. Personally I don’t think it’s even close... Jordan no question. Jordan put teams on his back and carried them to wins and multiple championships. He played offense AND defense and played both at a high level. 

What say you guys

Football is a team sport. The best team always win. Dan Mario was a great QB but had a bad team. NBA is an individualizes Game where the best player always win. It’s hard to tell how good Brady will be if we played for the browns. But Jordan will be Great even if he played for the Bobcats or Hornets. I say Jordan

This. It's pretty much impossible to compare football vs. basketball. Brady is a phenomenal QB, but athlete? He's probably one of the poorest athletes in the NFL.

Jordan never lost a finals. Brady has.

That’s not a fair comparison AT ALL...and I’m not a Brady fan. Jordan played a sport where the finals is decided in a best of 7 series. He, a teammate, or the team as a whole could have an off game or even lose 2 or 3 of them and still win a series. In football, the playoffs are one and done. You can’t afford to have an off game at the QB position in a championship game without pretty much insuring  a season ending loss.

Baseball, Hockey, and Basketball finals (and their entire playoffs for that matter) are set up in a manner that usually results in the best team winning the series. That’s not always the case in the NFL.  We’ve all seen SB’s where the best team lost by a lucky break for the other team or were simply upset proving the old saying “On any given Sunday...”. Heck, sometimes the best team(s) don’t even make it to the world championship game.

Jordan’s six rings isn’t even that unique in the NBA. Kareem also has 6 rings. I think Bill Russell has 11. Kobe, Magic, and Tim Duncan each have 5. Lebron could still tie or pass that mark. If Brady wins #6 he’ll be two ahead of his next closest competitors (Bradshaw and Montana). No one on this board ever dreamed  we’d see a QB possibly retire with 6 rings...and possibly even more.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
