Brady is a top 5 QB all time from a statistics standpoint but if it was purely individual talent: Rodgers, Manning, Russell Wilson, and Drew Brees are all about equivalent. This year was the first year Brady really carried the team into the playoffs like Manning seemed to do every year.

Brady is the best winning QB of all time and has the best record by far. That being said, how much of that is an absolutely terrible division? The Bills/Jets/Dolphins haven't had a competent organization in about 15 years and have a wildcard team about every 5 years. This was a big part of first round byes & home field advantage for the playoffs.

IMO, Belichick through Coaching/smart personnel management/smart play calling turned a 1-2 championship caliber player into someone who will be considered the GOAT.

That being said, TB12 @ TB will be in the playoffs this year and the Pats will be at home.
