Tom Brady is the best quarterback ever, he has 54 NFL records to prove it

People can debate all they want about Tom Brady saying he is not the best ever, but if you look at the record books he is, and it is not close.

I am the biggest Tom Brady hater because he has dogged my Buffalo Bills for years, but I do respect him. I have said for years and years that we are watching the greatest quarterback ever, and we get to face him two times a year. While I am hoping he retires soon, this stat right here from the Patriots Final Press Release from 2018’s NFL season should make you agree with me that Brady is the best player to ever suit up at the quarterback position
