QB No. 2: Tom Brady

Truly one of the most difficult choices to make was deciding who will go number one. Do I go with the veteran, 3-time Super Bowl Champion, and one of the top five greatest quarterbacks of all-time? Or do I go with the younger, big armed QB, who also happens to be a Super Bowl Champion? In the end, I decided that the number two spot belongs to Tom Brady.

Brady orchestrates the highest-octane offense in all of football, and executes it to perfection with incredible efficiency and poise. The Patriots take pride in running the most amount of plays per game in the NFL. All that time with the football demands that you be a good protector of it, which Brady is. He's been top five in passing attempts the last two seasons, yet has only thrown 20 INT total, among the lowest of starting NFL QB during that span.

And then, of course, there's what Brady has accomplished over his career. He's a 2-time MVP, 3-time SB champion, 2-time SB MVP, 8-time Pro Bowler, and record-holder for single-season passing TD with 50. But he's not invincible. And if we're nitpicking, he hasn't won a Super Bowl since 2004. He's been to two since that time. But his team was upset by the New York Giants in both Super Bowls. He's actually played poorly more often then not in playoff games since 2008. And if we're being perfectly honest here, Brady was outplayed by Joe Flacco in back-to-back playoff seasons, yet the Patriots won the first meeting because of...Lee Evans...Billy Cundiff, a story for another time.

But alas, that's truly nitpicking. Brady is the most accurate, most efficient, and honestly might be the most competitive QB in the NFL. Together, that's a winning formula. Sure, he hasn't hoisted the Lombardi trophy since '04, but Super Bowl victories are hard to come by. I think it just says enough that he always has his team playing in January EVERY SINGLE SEASON. He doesn't have the nod over my number one QB, but I wouldn't fight anyone who would argue for Brady at one.
