Tom Brady's first year in the NFL was not fun. He was only able to play one game due to the fact that the quarterback position was filled. The next season would be a different story due to the fact that Drew Bledsoe the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots went down with an injury. Tom Brady silenced the doubters with 11 wins and 3 losses. That year Tom Brady took the Patriots to the Super Bowl against the St Louis Rams and won.

Every person ever associated with football knows how the game is played. They know every rule, play, stat, and anything else that can be recorded. There was a certain one of these people, though, that stood out from the rest. This was a man by the name of Vince Lombardi. Most people generally know who Vince Lombardi was. They know him as the former, and most famous, coach of the Green Bay Packers back in the late fifties and early sixties. They also recognize him as the man the trophy awarded to the Super Bowl winner, the Lombardi Trophy, is named after. This is all common knowledge in the football world.

The first reason why Aaron Rodgers is the most talented QB in the NFL is because he puts up the best stats. He has a 104.1 career Q.B.R and has had 7 seasons with a

Aaron Rodgers has done an impressive job filling Brett Favre’s gab on the Green Bay Packers as stated in the article Green Bay, Once Owned by Favre, Now Belongs to Rodgers. Favre, the previous quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, had led the team until he left for Minnesota two years ago, leaving many fans heartbroken. However, after this past season, Rodgers has proven himself. At first, with injuries to the offensive line, the team was damaged and had 41 sacks in the first nine games, averaging between four-to-five sacks per game. However, they shaped up, with the help of Rodgers, and were considered to be the “hottest team” for the second half of the season.

Tom Brady is widely considered to be one of the best athletes of today’s day and age, and thought of by many as possibly the best quarterback in NFL history. Numerous factors have led to his overall success in football over the past 20 or so years, but nothing has been as important as his own implicit personality structures. Brady has dealt with a lot of negative feedback ever since he started playing football; people telling him he wasn’t good enough to play or that he wasn’t tough enough to be a quarterback in the NFL. His whole career has been a balancing act of proving people wrong by continuing to surpass what was thought to be humanly possible on the field. He has clearly surpassed expectations on and off the field, because of this success it is acceptable to ask the question of how his personality has helped lead to his success in the NFL. Furthermore, Brady is clearly a person high in conscientiousness and self-control, therefore another question that could be debated is how would he cope with not being able to play the game he loves.

On August 3rd, 1977 a boy named Tom Brady was born. Throughout his childhood he dedicated most of his time to playing and watching the game of football. Everyday after school he would go down to California Memorial Stadium to practice playing football with his father. He hoped that one day he would be a quarterback in the NFL. As years passed and he attended high school he decided to tryout for the football team. Although he had passion for the sport, his skills lacked and the coach informed him he

Ryan Leaf, a quarterback from Washington State, was the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers. Leaf had a very promising three year college career. In his three years of college, Leaf had a completion percentage of 53.8, 7,433 passing yards, and a 59:24 touchdown-to-interception ratio. However, when he entered the NFL, his stats were completely altered in his three year NFL career, and not in the good way. His completion percentage dropped to 48.4, compiling only 3,666 passing yards, and an awful 14:36 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Before he entered the NFL, his passion for football was in question and retiring after three seasons, he proved that his passion for the sport was never there. Taken after Leaf are multiple soon to be Hall of Famers, such as, Charles

The various fans and supporters from the Eagles were disgusted and ashamed of Vick. Marches and protests were started to keep Vick from playing and entering the NFL. In 2010, he took over as the starter for the Eagles and once again proved his ability and explosiveness on the field. Vick was able to bring Philadelphia to the playoffs and help them in many ways. Following that year, Michael Vick was named the Comeback Player of the Year, and once again became a role model. After a few more seasons with the Eagles, he joined the Jets and in 2015, the

While the Colts may have been rocked by the Patriots last Sunday night, Andrew Luck managed to put up his best fantasy statline of the season. There was no sign of his injury affecting him, and he managed 312 yards, 3 TD’s and for the first time this season didn’t turn over the ball. He now faces a porous Saints defense allowing an average of 21.8 points per game to opposing QB’s and have given up a league high 2 rushing TD’s to QB’s.

Brett Favre, one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game of football. Favre began playing for the Atlanta Falcons before getting traded to the Green Bay Packers where he was in control of the team for sixteen years. Favre then had a very emotional retirement press conference, but a few months later he announced his comeback where he was then signed by the New York Jets and had a one year stint with them. Favre played two more years after that for the Minnesota Vikings before calling it quits. Some know Favre as one of the toughest players to play football, but many know Favre for his personality in and out of football. Favre is a very outgoing and creative individual. On NFL Network, Favre was voted as the number two character of

One of the team’s biggest strengths is their powerhouse offense. But the man under center is what makes that powerhouse offense run. That man is Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the league if not the best. His statistics are unbelievable. He has the highest quarterback rating in NFL history at 103.8, while the second closest is 98.9. He has thrown 300 touchdowns to only 74 interceptions. That being a 4:1 touchdown to interception ratio, also the best in NFL history. One of his most impressive streaks was his success at home. In 2015, he threw an interception at home. The last one he threw at home before that was in 2012. He went three years without throwing an interception at home. Truly a remarkable feat. In 2011, Aaron had one of the best seasons

Before I can argue that Tom Brady is the greatest of all time, I am going to summarize the criteria of what makes an athlete the greatest of all time. However, there is a possible problem with the criteria. Readers may think that this criterion is assembled to prove that Tom Brady is the greatest of all time. This is not the case though; this criterion has been complied of multiple sources of what they believe is the greatest athlete of all time. These sources are from all different places they are not all from New England. The criteria are made up of multiple characteristics required to be labeled the greatest of all time. Drive is a necessity to be the greatest of all time. Now this sounds very clichéd however, I cannot be over looked. The athlete cannot be satisfied with the day of work they have to have the
