Will Tom Brady Surpass Joe Montana?

If Tom Brady wins another ring he would become more than a five-time Super Bowl Champion, he would become possibly the greatest quaterback to ever play the game. He can surpass Terry Bradshaw and most importantly he could surpass the quaterback that most people consider the greatest to ever play the position, Joe Montana.

As we wait for that to happen, today Tom Brady has tied Joe Montana for most Super Bowl wins.

Julian Edleman wide receiver for the Super Bowl winner New England Patriots, discussed in a post-Super Bowl interview that It's more impressive what Brady has done since he did it in a current league where there's a salary cap. He went on to say that because of this the San francisco Forty-Niners had a bigger advantage because they could just buy any player at any cost. I don't know if many people remember San Franciscos golden days because they had a free for all no salary cap era, instead they remember Montana's pass to Clark in the championship game to beat Dallas, the Super Bowl drive to beat the bengals, Montana's elegant footwork and the four Super Bowl championships.Tom Brady has a lot of these same achievements and he now holds a lot for the records that Montana once held, however when Brady is remember they will also remember "Spygate" and "Deflategate." Even though Tom Brady will go down as one of the best Quaterbacks ever, he will always be haunted by these three words, "Did he cheat?"

This season will be remember for Tom Brady's and Bill Belichick's resilience, much like Joe Montana and Bill Walsh they re-invented themselves when a lot of people were already counting them out. You can't downplay how amazing Tom Brady is and how important he has become to this modern day NFL era. Today Tom Brady is a champion and none of the extra stuff matters to Patriot fans, you could even argue that every team does what it can to get any sort of slight advantage on the field, but my humble opinion is that when it comes to comparing the two quaterbacks, Tom Brady will always be the second best QB to play in the NFL.
