A case can certainly be made.
1. The team has been a playoff contender for 12 of the last 14 years (he was out injured one year and they got beat out one year despite a good regular season record), starting the day he stepped on the field as a starter.
2. The Pats have been in the Superbowl 6 of those 14 seasons, walking away with 4 championships.
3. His regular season stats, including the consistency of his performance over all of these years, are extraordinary.
4. He has been Mr. Clutch in the regular season and in the playoffs, winning who knows how many games with unstoppable last minute drives.
5. He has won more playoff games than 21 NFL franchises, individually, have won in their entire playoff histories.
Seriously, what other QB has done all of this? Yes there are a few who have had better stats in any one of those categories, but his entire body of work is simply amazing. Every single time he walks on the field, fans feel confident that they have a good chance of winning the game, regardless of who the opponent is. What other QB, has done so much, for so long, for his team? This team will be remembered as a dynasty for the ages, owed in large part to Tom Brady.
