Tom Brady is such a Hall Of Famer, you could cut his career in half and create two Hall Of Famers. Lol Edit: I agree with you guys in the thread. You could split his career into 3 stages, too. 2000 - 2004 can be one era, where the first dynasty was created, winning 3 SBs in 4 years. This was also the era where the Patriots really started to cement their rivalry with the Colts. You have 2005 - 2013 where he became the first QB to hit 50 TDs in a single season, he had 2 SB appearances, 2 MVPs, and he had that 16-0 season. Not to mention he came back from being injured the entire 2008 season to become Comeback Player Of The Year not too long after. In this era he proved he could overcome adversity and be consistently elite enough to carry the team. A lot of transition happened in this era. Then you have 2014-current, where he solidifies himself as a legend and revives the SB-Winning dynasty with 3 Super Bowl wins in 5 years, first by winning against the best defense in the NFL and then also going on to beating the Falcons in the largest comeback in Super Bowl history. He loses to the Eagles in Super Bowl LII but still manages to put up like 500 yards and a few TDs. The very next year goes back to the Super Bowl and beats the Rams, and even though it was the lowest scoring SB in NFL history, it was also the only Super Bowl where the Patriots won by more than one score.

Henry Caller so are so many other people in football but it is barely ever mentioned. People just say it about Brady because even without cheating, he is the greatest qb of all time
Pretty amazing that he's still doing it at his age. I mean, dude just said, "It's the damn internet." That might be the oldest thing I've heard in a while.
I don't like the Pats but I really admire and respect Bill Belichick's football knowledge. He's connected to a lot of legends from all eras and is very engaging, not at all like he is in press conferences. I see why so many players and teams do well under him.
@@tedfio1tedfio1that doesn’t matter, he built those teams. He found Tom Brady. He turned the patriots from perpetual losers into the best dynasty of all time
My wife and I submit Patriots lottery scratch tickets every year and end up winning a trip to one game .... we got robbed by covid in 2020, but they're saving a game for us in 2021 ... pleeeeeeease let it be the Pats vs the Bucs!!!! Pleeeeeeease
You know, im 30 years old and just got into watching football 3 years ago. These films have made me go from knowing nothing about the sport to loving and appreciating the history of this game.
I’m 37 and didn’t start watching until age 31 and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Before that I didn’t even think about football and would get annoyed when people talked about it.
Best part about this series is it puts respect on all eras of professional football. Gives you things to consider that the majority of modern fans wouldn’t think about when just looking at the stats from decades ago.
Absolutely. I remember when I first got to the defensive backs episode and they put up Larry Wilson and I was like "put up the clip of him with 2 broken hands and every young guy will immediately understand how good this guy was" and they did and you could see the immediate respect in the room. Not many came tougher.
Staubach is still the most inspirational player of all time. Everybody's talking about his heroics, but his leadership and organizational skills is overlooked. The man was doing analytics in the locker room alone when everyone else was playing cards or hustling some other business. He took his stuff to founding the modern service agency model, that's used in real estate and insurance worldwide today.
If I ever hated an NFL player it was Brett Favre but no one had a bullet like he did. Best gun slinger of all time. Imagine the stats him and Marino would have in today's game
I’m a packer and Rodgers fan but rn all time I would put brees ahead of Rodgers.if Aaron wins the super bowl this year then he’s ahead of brees and maybe fights for the all time team
19:10 “I love my job because I get to watch practice, no one else gets to watch practice” - Collinsworth Lmfao cut to Brady thinking “heh.. yeah.. me too”
@@that1guy614 Yeah he's only barely one of the only 5 quarterbacks to ever go to 4 super bowls. And he's only tied for third most postseason wins with John Elway and Terry Bradshaw.
Bill had tons of respect for Brett, but I can't think of a player that Bill would bench or trade faster than Brett Favre. Thank God Bill never drafted him, otherwise we never would have been able to see Favre do the stuff he did.
There is no question that Roger Staubach is THE most underrated QB in NFL history. The documented record demonstrates that he is 1 of the Top 5 QB's in NFL history. Hall of Fame inductee,; 4 time NFL passing champion; 5 time NFC passing champion; 4 Super Bowl appearances in 8 years as a full-time starter; 2 time Super Bowl winner; MVP of Super Bowl 6; strong arm; accurate; mobile; clutch performer; tough as nails; the consummate leader; the greatest QB of the 70's; and he retired as the the NFL's all-time leader in passer rating. Staubach accomplished all of this after serving 4 years in the military and not becoming a full-time starter until he was 29 years old. IMO, if Staubach came into the league as a 22 year old rookie, the Cowboys would have had at least 1 more Lombardi Trophy and Roger would have been in the discussion as THE greatest QB in NFL history.
@@trevmac8362 You obviously have not read the surprisingly negative commentary from football writers and fans in regards to Staubach's inclusion on this list. A prime example of this ignorance of football history is when former SI writer Peter King told Rich Eisen that Staubach should have been replaced on this list by Brees and/or Rodgers. King is probably still smarting from Staubach torching his New York Giants during the 70's.
@@pjtheory There's always people who have other agenda's when they try and undermine others (in every aspect of life) and you are probably right - it does go back years and years ago when The Cowboys beat the giants all the time. As for Stuabach being on the list I have no problem with that.. As for Rodgers being left off lot's of people have emotional investments in Rodgers, they see him on the insurance commercials and he comes across as mr nice guy and the good ole boy
Roger Staubach places the "C" in Cowboys. He was in the Navy for 4 years then went to the NFL. He played 11 years. Started his first game at 27. He started his last superbowl at 36 at a time when you could hit the quarterback. The Cowboys under Landry didn't win any championships before Roger and didn't win any after. FYI: jackie Smith doesn't drop that pass in the endzone who knows.
you can just tell how much Bill loves football...hes like a kid in a candy store...if i was a betting man Bill has never worked a day in his life meaning its fun to him. I'm not even a Pats fan but hold him in high regard.
Bradshaw was clutch and killed everybody, the Cowboys, Raiders, Vikings, Rams and Oilers. Only the Raiders beat him more than once in the postseason but he beat them three times ...
I'm glad they put Marino on here, because I was thinking how he's always been at the top of my list. I'm a Bills fan, so its tough for me to say but him and Peyton are my 2 all time favorite QBs.
@@koolkitties8552 ok bud. I've been a Bills fan since I was a kid. Kelly is one of my favorite all time Bills and players. You can root for a team but still have players on other teams that you like. I hated Marino back in the day but I always respected him as a player.
Not underrated he black. How McNabb not on this list, you see the skin tone. They amp up guys that threw the ball when it wasn't expected, these guys have whole defenses to stop them nowadays, if otto Graham was going against nadumkaun sue I bet we don't know who he is. Anyone who played before blacks were allowed to play have no claim to greatness
Think about this. Roger didn't play organized football for 4 years after Navy. He starts his first game at the ageof 27. He goes to one of the best teams becomes that teams best player within 2 years. In the course of 10 years goes to 5 superbowls, wins 2 of them. Plays his last superbowl at the age of 36 at a time when the QB was not protected. Wow. IDK. Maybe the best of all-time? FYI: Favre, Steve Young, John Elway all have Roger as their hero to go along with countless others.
He is the GOAT gunslinger. No one had a bullet arm like Favre. Not to mention he was a true iron man during an era when the Defense could still assault the QB with brutality
Good to see Tom keeping busy now that he's out of the playoffs. In all seriousness though, as much as I hate to admit it, he deserves not just a spot on this list, but possibly the top spot
Fran Tarkenton, anyone? He retired with every record in the book and those achieved before the league handcuffed the defense. His receivers, then, were taking a beating from the line of scrimmage onwards. Tark bought time by scrambling--something of his own invention--and was an innovator by any standard. And like Unitas, Staubach, and Otto Graham, he called his own plays. No platooning of tight ends to ferry in the plays or wired helmets connected directly to the offensive coordinator. Well, who would I remove from the list to make room. Marino. Yeah, he went to the playoffs ten times, but came away with one conference championship. Great arm? Sure. But he was a the equivalent of a "location" pitcher in baseball, throwing to a spot a foot off the ground. How much of his yardage is essentially swing passes of fewer than 8-10 yards? Tarkenton played of grass fields in New York and Minnesota, and in often terrible conditions in November and December games. Still, he held up for 18 seasons! He deserved acknowledgement if only as a physical specimen. I know these arguments will fall on deaf ears. The sportswriters--an oxymoron if there ever was one--love to pump their favorites, especially players in large markets. What all-time greats Alan Page, Carl Eller, Ron Yary, Mick Tinglehoff, John Gilliam, and Chuck Foreman would be if only they'd played in New York, Chicago, Dallas, or on the West Coast.
I agree...as a devout Los Angeles Rams fan since the late 60s, Fran Tarkenton and The Vikes were the thorns in our sides for so many playoff games. A truly great QB, along with probably one of the toughest QBs I've ever seen, Joe Kapp for those great Vikings teams in the late 60s. I guess some had to be left out, Ken Stabler, Roman Gabriel, John Brodie, Norm Van Brocklin, Bob Waterfield, etc....
I can listen to belicheck talk football for the rest of my life. He’s seen it all, he’s a football encyclopedia. Like that he’s still pissed at montana giants stadium miracle
God I wish I could watch this all day . This is prob the most satisfying sports event I’ve ever watched . So much love so much appreciation for greatness. I LOVE how they gave Rodger his flowers to his face .
Is amazing how many close connections have Belichick to all time greats before his time as HC with NE, he faced Elway and Favre in SB, Montana in NFC Championships. Got to meet and "play" with Staubach and Unitas. I guess the only one missing is Marino
@@lightyagami3492 If you ever get a chance to meet him, ask Bill about QB Bert Jones from Baltimore Colts time. He adored him the way we as fans saw him adore Ed Reed in the top 100 list. I think they had a comeback season nicknamed something like the Miracle on 33rd Street. Helluva way to open your coaching career being around that.
I had searched a long time on RU-vid for Bill talk about The Great Joe Montana, couldn’t find anything. So when I hear him Now, it’s Like Discovering The Holy Grail of Football Knowledge. So Glad, to hear this insight is priceless.
I’ve been a pats fan for 23 years now, bills the only coach I’ve ever known, and this is the most I’ve seen him smile, literally besides the superbowls all combined, he’s smiled more in this then the 9 combined super bowls I’ve watched lol legend and GOAT
Chris: Brett, you would've played even without pay! Brett: Yes! Belichick (mumbling): How can I get one of these players? Get him a contract now, he can still sling it!
Roger moved and scored the ball on those Steelers teams with one of the great defenses of all time. Almost nobody else did. That 1978 year in particular, the Steelers had only given up 15 points in the two playoff games previous to the Superbowl.
As a Steelers fan Ive hated the Cowboys my whole life but it is utterly impossible not to respect, admire and like Roger Staubach and Tom Landry. The NFL was soooo much better then
Roger Staubach is mine and million others from that generation favorite player. However, he lost to possible the best team (78 steelers ever in the NFL.) It's hard to argue that the steelers aren't the best. Haall of famers every where you looked The Cowboys although very good themselves didn't have the defense the steelers had. That Steelers team had 6 top 50 players of all-time. Cowboys had 2 MAYBE 3.

With my brother do everything this is 2017 when I found out he was my brother and Facebook then we just mic'd up and we kick in everything thank you for putting me in your journal 100 yard history. I graduated in Sam Houston High School in 2001 that's when the war broke out and that's when my dad got killed that's when my friend fired.
I feel blessed to watch four great generations of quarterbacks from Staubach/Bradshaw to Elway/Montana/Marino to Brady/Peyton/Favre/Brees and now Mahomes/Wilson/Jackson/Rodgers to name a few.
Yeah Steve gets over looked because the game changed and they mostly judge by stats. Regardless no one played better in the super bowl than Steve Young. 325yds 6tds 50yds rushing
Otto Graham, 10 seasons played, 10 Championships played, 7 Rings. Pre•SuperBowl but unbelievable excellence in winning EFIT: Sammy Baugh also was a league leading Free Safety
This year is the 20th anniversary of that magical Patriots season. From the Mo Lewis hit, Tom's first start vs Peyton Manning, The Snow Bowl and Back to Back upsets of the Steeles & Rams. We were so lucky to have these to men for so long
