Tom Brady's Place In Football History

Improved Essays
A common debate topic in football, Tom Brady and his place in football history. Today’s generation of football fans seem to forget about all the “soon to be” retired legends that will end up in the hall of fame. One of those living legends happens to be Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback. Unfortunately he is one of the most hated quarterbacks and people will always be negative towards him, but when you’re one of the best in the NFL, if not the best, it’s only natural. Brady’s super bowl wins, all time total passing yards, and touchdown passes are the evidence to his greatness and legendary status. Even though he’s not yet the greatest quarterback of all time, he unquestionably is high up there.
