If you cut Brady's career into two halves (2001-2010 and 2011-2021); either half alone would rank him in the top 5 QBS of all time. And when you put both halves together it's not even a discussion about who the GOAT is. Consider:

2001-2010 - I think you can make an argument that this stretch contained more winning than any QB other than Montana, the single best season to that point in NFL history (2007), and the most clutch performances of any QB in NFL history considering what happened in those Super Bowls. If this alone was a career, it's likely we'd be arguing about it somewhere in the Top 5, but more likely in the top 2 or 3 careers ever.
- 3 Super Bowl wins
- 4 AFC Championships
- 2 NFL MVPs
- 2 Super Bowl MVPs
- 27 game-winning drives (to put this into perspective, Joe Montana had 28 his entire career).
- 6 postseason game-winning drives
- Comp% - 62.67
- Total Yards - 34,738 (ranks ahead of people like Steve Young, Kurt Warner, Troy Aikman)
- Playoff Starts - 19 (would rank 6th among QBs all-time)

2011-2020 - You could make an argument that just this stretch is the greatest 'career' in NFL history ever. I think Montana's entire career may be the only career better than this 'career'
- 3 Super Bowl wins
- 5 AFC Championships
- 1 NFC Championship
- 1 NFL MVP
- 2 Super Bowl MVPs
- 25 game-winning drives
- 7 postseason game-winning drives
- Comp% - 66.27
- Total Yards - 44,375
- Playoff Starts - 26 (would rank 2nd among QBs all-time).
