Joe Namath was a really good quarterback in his day and actually was the NFL’s first Super Bowl champion. The Jets legend idolized Otto Graham and dueled with Johnny Unitas, but says nobody does like it Pats star, Tom Brady.
“No one’s ever been better. No one’s ever been better than Tom Brady, I don’t believe,” Namath recently told Jenny Vrentas of The MMQB. “And I go back to watching the guys earlier in some of the darker days, in the ’50s.”
Proclaiming that no quarterback has ever played at a higher level than 2014 MVP Aaron Rodgers, Namath still believes Brady has the best overall body of work.
Better than, better than, better than. The best, the best, the best. To each his own,” Namath explained. “I have a hard time calling anybody in any sport ‘the best’ because of the changes in the game, certainly, and because of the greats that were ahead of them. But I will say, no one has ever played the game better than Tom Brady.”
