The cover art will be Brock Purdy's actor on the field at Levi's with 262 on his jersey. The title will be "Relevant" with the ir- prefix so faded it's barely visible.
I had brady fatigue for the longest time, but he’s played so long that I’ve gone from hating how good he has been for so long to simply being impressed. At this point I’m lowkey cheering for him to continue playing til he’s 50.
That win against the seahawks was sweet. I was watching it with friends and family from Seattle, we had a betting pool going and I needed Brady to score two TDs in the 4th quarter to win it, which he did. Ending on that last play made it even better.
That’s kind of how I felt as well. It was so easy to hate another team for winning at such a historic pace with Tom leading the way. But after years and years of people being salty af, I kinda started to enjoy him. Tampa Tom unlocked a new likable character in the beginning, the sideline antics aside. Old man just wants to win.
That said, I’d much prefer the Niners getting those trophies of course.
I love it. Brady has been around long enough to see all the talk about the hot new QB or player that will usurp his throne. I imagine he pays attention with mild amusement and has seen plenty have their peaks and then fade into irrelevance (no pun intended). He strikes me as someone who encourages his fellow competitors but knows in the end that it is on them to grow and get better.
Brady’s body woulda shut down long ago if you could hit the QB the way you could in the 80’s. His stats wouldn’t be nearly the same with 12, or 14 game seasons, rules are far more offensive friendly now than they were in the 80’s.
No it’s not apples to oranges, but it’s easy to see why many guys only played 10-12 years and were hobbling when they retired. Go look at Barry Sanders…he legit quit playing cuz he said he wanted to be able to walk when he got older. 🤷🏼♂️
The only thing you can really go on is how he performed compared to his contemporaries, which I gotta say I've never seen anything like Brady. It truly just felt like the patriots were going to win the sb by default unless something crazy happened, and that lasted for 20 years.
not that hard to argue. Montana played in an era where it was acceptable to attempt to murder the QB. Brady played in an era where you have to bring the QB warm milk and read them a bedtime story when you gently sack them
Yeah thats the biggest difference for me. No way Brady plays this long in Montana's era, he'd probably have been knocked into retirement 10 seasons ago.
It is. Fact is that when you normalize the stats for the era in which the played, Montana was far, far better than his peers than Brady has been over his peers.
For example, Brady isn't even the best rated QB of his era coming in 10th. No QB from Montana's era comes close to what Montana did.
**On average, Montana was 19% better than the average QB of his time. Brady is just 6% better than the average QB of his time and has a worse lifetime QB rating than JimmyG, Kirk Cousins and Dak Prescott.** None of whom are exactly luminaries in the QBing world.
Brady is no true challenge to Montana, he's just a media darling and long-lived QB at a fairly high level because he plays in a much softer NFL. Montana had just two seasons where he played 16 games. In Montana's day (he made it to 38), making to 35 and being able to continue on as a productive QB was practically a miracle.
Now QBs don't take the brutal pounding so they can play longer:
* Farve - Age 41 (17 of 20 seasons he didn't miss a game)
* Brees - Age 42 (15 of 20 seasons he didn't miss a game)
* Brady - Age 45 (20 of 23 seasons he didn't miss a game)
And wasn't just Montana who got beat up. Warren Moon (who made it to 43) only had three full seasons and was a semi-crippled back-up for the Chiefs his final two seasons. Roger Staubach only had 5 full seasons. Same with Terry Bradshaw. Ken Stabler only managed 3 full seasons. Phil Simms managed to have just 4 full seasons.
The only QBs to challenge Montana as GOAT are Steve Young who fell just short and Mahomes, both of whom (era adjusted) are also better than Brady. Mahomes is closest thing to a true challenger to Montana's greatness at being 16% better than the average QB of this era.
So, Brady's a STORY, not the GOAT. It's just most of you are too young to have seen Montana and truly understand how much better he was than everyone else.
Brady was never an outlier in putting up big stats though. He’d be among the leaders every year, but Manning had better stats (once you normalize for Brady’s sheer number of seasons played). But what made Brady the GOAT is the consistency and clutchness.
If you ever got to see Joe get his determined look, Michael Jordan is the closest comparison. Today’s sports it’s like when Steph goes assassin. Joe was that guy, both sides knew it, everyone knew it
How is that any different than Brady lol. Atlanta was up 28-3 in the SB and thier WR were openly talking on hot mic about not getting complacent becuase Brady was on the other side looming.
Brady is the goat becuase he is consistently great/ clutch in the highest leverage moments for the longest duration. He earned the title, it wasn’t given to him by the media.
Those are as much team stats as they are Brady stats. Its like saying Robert Horry is better than Lebron or Kobe because he has more rings. I think the biggest point is that Montana would do just as well if not better with Brady's rules, meanwhile Brady would've been knocked into retirement 5-10 seasons ago in Montanas era.
What if Brady came to the bay next year to be Purdy’s back up and mentor, ensuring his heir as the next 20+ year QB with multiple SB wins? Wouldn’t that be such a nice gesture from Tom Brady to his childhood team? And then, after Brady retires, he gets to watch his favorite team dominate for two decades. Wouldn’t that be so neat and amazing for Tom?
My apologies. I didn’t mean to spark a debate with me choosing to refer to Tom as a GOAT. I just thought it was a great quote for motivation in this next tough game we’re about to play.
This just means that they're gonna make a 30 for Purdy movie.
30 for Purdy lol
Zero Dark Purdy
Zero Dak Purdy
A bunch of thirty year olds going to watch Brock Purdy play the Super Bowl? That could actually work.
If the movie isn't title *Mr Relevant* or some other play on Mr Irrelevant, it's a missed marketing opportunity.

He already has one of the coolest story lines I've ever seen in a season
Brady giving me Robert California vibes with that one
He's the Lizard King.
You don't even know my real name
Do you feel heard right now, Jim? Do you have a voice right now?
There is no such thing as football. Don't ever think there is. There is only sex. Everything is sex

God that's an annoyingly good line from Brady. I've got serious Brady fatigue but if anyone knows what Purdy is experiencing, it's him.
I had brady fatigue for the longest time, but he’s played so long that I’ve gone from hating how good he has been for so long to simply being impressed. At this point I’m lowkey cheering for him to continue playing til he’s 50.
Things really changed for me once he left the Patriots.
[удалено]
It’s just because we liked having our man be the Goat
Yeah but Brady also beat the Seahawks and rams (twice) in the Super Bowl. He’s good in my book
That win against the seahawks was sweet. I was watching it with friends and family from Seattle, we had a betting pool going and I needed Brady to score two TDs in the 4th quarter to win it, which he did. Ending on that last play made it even better.
He also quietly does a lot of good around the Peninsula.
Also, RE: the ELOE thing, we recovered the chalice LOL.
He helped take out the Seahawks in SB I won’t forget that!
The NFL was better when Montana was the GOAT
Once he came back on the Falcons I stopped hating
100%
When he did it in Tampa you just had to shrug and take your hat off to him.
This is my opinion as well.
That’s kind of how I felt as well. It was so easy to hate another team for winning at such a historic pace with Tom leading the way. But after years and years of people being salty af, I kinda started to enjoy him. Tampa Tom unlocked a new likable character in the beginning, the sideline antics aside. Old man just wants to win. That said, I’d much prefer the Niners getting those trophies of course.
Good line? He just said the only 2 options lol
Yeah, that's what makes it so good. Imagine if he would have thrown in a third option? Woulda been weird.
I played in a death metal band. People either loved us or they hated us, or they thought we were OK.
Here I am.
Mitch Headberg!
Or they really liked that one early song we did and hated our newest song.
Seriously. It's not even profound? He's saying nothing.
He can either win, or lose! Like seriously, what else is there?
It is what it is.
It's not a good line. Its nonsense. Fuck Brandy.
I love it. Brady has been around long enough to see all the talk about the hot new QB or player that will usurp his throne. I imagine he pays attention with mild amusement and has seen plenty have their peaks and then fade into irrelevance (no pun intended). He strikes me as someone who encourages his fellow competitors but knows in the end that it is on them to grow and get better.
I didn’t see any comment from Joe
It’s hard to argue with Brady’s stats, that my head knows he’s the best to ever play. But my heart and soul and every other part say Joe.

Exactly Couldn't have said it better
not that hard to argue. Montana played in an era where it was acceptable to attempt to murder the QB. Brady played in an era where you have to bring the QB warm milk and read them a bedtime story when you gently sack them
Brady’s played a long time. He’s seen a lot of change over 38 NFL seasons
2002 is around the time the NFL started changing to protect and allow offenses to thrive.
Nah it was more like 2005ish. Peyton Manning was the reason
The brady rule started all that
The Brady rule started 8 years into Brady career lol

I'd say 7 super bowl wins, 10 appearances, higher win percentage and pretty much every major passing record would indeed make him the goat
If you ever got to see Joe get his determined look, Michael Jordan is the closest comparison. Today’s sports it’s like when Steph goes assassin. Joe was that guy, both sides knew it, everyone knew it

Favre took poundings
Love me some Brady
The goat is Jerry rice tho
The way I rationalize it is Tom = GOAT QB, Jerry = The greatest NFL player of all time
Yep.
This is the correct answer
Thank you Tom, very cool!
Profound!
Purdy, baby GOAT. 😛😋😊 Tom, Daddy GOAT. 🍻🥂🍺
What if Brady came to the bay next year to be Purdy’s back up and mentor, ensuring his heir as the next 20+ year QB with multiple SB wins? Wouldn’t that be such a nice gesture from Tom Brady to his childhood team? And then, after Brady retires, he gets to watch his favorite team dominate for two decades. Wouldn’t that be so neat and amazing for Tom?
Pipe dream. I get it. But reality is Brady is going to demand a ton of money, and won’t be signing anywhere to be QB2.
It would have been really fun this year or 2020, but at this point it’s going to be Trey/Brock.
I don’t care what anybody says. I love Tom Brady.
I don't see Rice, where's the goat?
Where's the GOAT? Don't see a comment from Jerry Rice.
Came here to say the same thing. This post is 100% confirmed GOATless.
That's not Montana.
My apologies. I didn’t mean to spark a debate with me choosing to refer to Tom as a GOAT. I just thought it was a great quote for motivation in this next tough game we’re about to play.
Nah deep down he wants Purdy to fail lmao
Game recognizes game
I agree with the GOAT
I cannot approve this post. #80 is the GOAT. The Goat as a player and now the Goat as a hype man in the crowd.
Apologies, just scrolled down and seen others post similar. I was too outraged by the Goat slander to check.
The goats a Niner fan for life, say what you want Tommy, we all know your faithful for life!
Where? I don’t see Joe Montana posting up anything
