Patriots Quarterback, Tom Brady has already won an NFL M.V.P. award, set the all-time record for most touchdown passes in a season, and oh yeah and won three Super Bowls.
So, if he wins his fourth this Sunday, does that make Brady the best NFL quarterback ever? One Hall of Fame Quarterback certainly thinks he's in the discussion.
Troy Aikman, Fox television analyst and Hall of Fame quarterback, thinks Brady will have plenty of support for No. 1 if he leads New England to a fourth Super Bowl title.
"If Tom Brady wins this game, and then was part of a team that was undefeated ... then he gives whoever wants to make that argument a lot more ammunition than they currently have," Aikman said. "It strengthens his argument."
But who is Aikman's No. 1 quarterback?
"It's not me," he said, picking Joe Montana instead.
Another Fox analyst, Howie Long, said Terry Bradshaw has come up with an idea to honor the greatest NFL quarterbacks.
"Terry said they're going to start raising funds for a mini-Mount Rushmore," Long said. "They're looking for not a cliff, but a hillside that they can carve (Joe) Montana and (Tom) Brady and Bradshaw into. I don't know if that would be visited as much as Rushmore."
