You're going to get a lot of votes for Aaron Rodgers too. Probably also others.

If you expand it to all time, You'll probably get a lot of Tom Brady votes, but is he really a better quarterback than say, Manning or Brees, or was he just on better teams?

The whole "who's the absolute #1 best" discussion really only matters to sports fans and talk radio guys.

Give me somebody that we as a team can win with and I won't give a sh-t whether somebody thinks they're better or worse than Dan Marino or Joe Montana.

Brady definitely is better than Manning and Brees. Brady has ice in his veins. Manning tried to control everything pre snap and if he didn’t get the look he wanted he would be prone to mistakes. Brady was /is better at playing within the game and the play calling and relying on his arm talent to make things happen if he had to.

Brees is a glorified stat padder. If you hit him and get in his face he would make game changing INTs. If the NFL didn’t play story mode and give the Saints the Katrina sympathy boost then he would have been done a long time ago.

Brady is more successful.

That's not the same as being better.

Just look at his wide receiver group and the fact he’s leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns. 100% agree dawg, Mahomes is in a league of his own right now.

Anyone being honest chooses Mahomes out of all the QBs today. Brady and Rodgers are over the hill to varying degrees, but, regardless, Mahomes is outright better.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
