Among this football era, there has
been speculation with the quarterbacks’ in the league and with who should be
entered into the new Quarterbacks’ Hall
of Fame. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers have been viewed as
some of the top elite quarterbacks in the league. Over this era there has been records broken, super bowls won,
MVP’s granted, among these players. But who could be granted into the hall of
fame? Which players among these three have what it takes to take their team to the top? Breaking down the recent years these players have been in the
league, most people would say Brady on top of course.
Peyton Manning, with only one super
bowl under his belt, still impresses in today’s game. Peyton broke single
season records along his way, but would struggle when it came to the AFC
Conference Championship. Most of the time facing the New England Patriots would
be viewed as the super bowl itself. Manning has been surrounded by fantastic
receivers along with some lock down defense they would put out. Manning strives to come into Brady’s limelight but could only show out just once. Along with
facing injuries and now speculating if he will return for the 2015 season, it’s
questionable to even compare him to Brady.
Aaron Rodgers with only one super bowl win in his career along with Peyton. Aaron, bringing his team
the playoffs plenty of times, couldn't show out and get to the big game multiple times. Aaron throughout his playoff pushes, only has an average passer rating of 101. Aaron
also has been only (6-5) in his push with 23 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions.
Airing the ball out for a completion percentage of 65.37%, Aaron has shown his
elite accuracy on the playing field.
With his young receivers developing on the current team, they will push
to make another playoff run.
The man, the myth, the G.O.A.T. Tom
Brady has shown his success throughout his career taking his team to the top a
majority of the time. Ever since Brady’s first start he has taken off, bringing
his team 4 Super Bowl victories, and receiving the Super Bowl MVP 3 out of 4
times. Brady has strives in 4th quarter pushes to put his team on
top in the end. With only an average passer rating of 89 in the playoffs, Brady
has thrown for over 7300 yards and bringing in 53 touchdowns. Some couldn't even compare the three, seeing how Brady has more super bowl wins than both of
the “elite” quarterbacks combined. With Peyton and Brady aging, Brady is not
ready to hang up his cleats. He still has about 3 or maybe even 4 years left in
him. Peyton on the other hand endured injury at the end of the season. It’s
questionable of his return. Brady has put on a show in his playoff campaigns,
having the most playoff wins with 21. Tom’s only 21-8 in the playoffs with
62.95% of his passes completed.
Which elite quarterback should be
entered into the Hall of Fame? Could you really argue a point in this
comparison? Peyton has made single season records possible in his career with a
fantastic passing effort in the last season. Aaron took his team to another NFC
Championship game, showing they have weapons to make it to the top. Brady has 4
rings, 3 Super Bowl MVP's, and 21 post-season wins under his belt. That’s more
super bowls than both of these quarterbacks combined. Is there still a Manning
vs. Brady rivalry? That’s no longer in the question as Brady has shown he has
what it takes to make it to the top, only being the 199th overall
pick. A young buck out of California has brought the winning success to the
eastern coast, driving the New England Patriots into a remarkable decade where
anything can happen.
