    It's not the Super Bowl wins for Brady. Its the AFC Championships, the AFCCG appearances, the no-name, constantly rotating WR corps. Brady is better at football than Rodgers and Manning.

    Rodgers is the best of the three in a vacuum. People act like Brady has had garbage receivers for this entire run. Since 2007, he's had two guys who are HOFers (Gronk and Moss) in addition to guys who were Pro Bowl-level or a tick below (Welker, Edelman, Aaron Hernandez, and Amendola, who had two 100-catch seasons before he even came to NE). And the years he won his first 3 Super Bowls (when, for sure, the receiving corps was mediocre), the team's defense was ranked No. 6, No. 1 and No. 2 in points allowed.

    He wasn't carrying them like John Elway or something.

    What was Welker before playing for the Patriots? How many passes did Edelman catch in college? How many regular season games did Moss play with Brady?
