I think that Brady is overrated because many people have the notion that he was necessarily the greatest quarterback ever to play the game, but I think that his toughness was underrated ...... when Brady was 42 years-old in 2019, I saw him dive over the pile at the 1-yardline, head-first, on a crucial 4th down for the touchdown in a regular season game in 2008.

I guess you never saw Steve McNair play.

I saw McNair Nair play. Roethlisberger and Brady were the toughest quarterbacks that I ever saw play.

I grudgingly admit that McNair was tough rather than injury prone. Roethisberger was a bull. I'd include Favre in my list as well as Bradshaw. Bradshaw's toughness was cemented after Stan White broke his nose in a 78' preseason game. So much blood I thought he'd die on the field lol. Later said it was the hardest hit he'd taken in his entire career.


Brady was a pussy.

My problem with McNair was not with him or his play or his toughness. It was with the media. The media often calls tough players WARRIORS

There is not a single player in the NFL in the last few decades that is a warrior and I refuse to use that terminology in that context.

Pat Tillman would beg to differ.....if he had survived.

But, I get your point.

Having been in the military, that term is WAY overused to describe athletes.

Colts cut Spencer Shrader from the practice squad. Cut the wrong kicker.

Bet he'll be signed within the month if not the week.

Probably the toughest player I’ve ever watched overall was Marion Barber.

That dude was FEARLESS.

Toughest QB I’d have to go with Big Ben

Toughest player had to be Marshawn lynch

Well, Jack Youngblood is undebatably the toughest NFL player ever. He played 3 NFL playoff games with a broken leg.
