Don't know enough about other sports to have an opinion.

I had Rice too. Brady’s SB in Tampa sealed it for me though.

Even offense only, I find it much more difficult to compare positions in football than in baseball. I would like to pick one of the pioneers of the game, a Baugh or a Hutson, but it is difficult to conclude Brown isn't the greatest RB, Rice the greatest WR, and Brady the greatest QB. I don't like the contemporary protect-the-QB-offense-ruleset but it is difficult to deny that in context he has dominated QB like nobody else. I'll collect Otto Graham and Bobby Layne and Y.A. Tittle but I don't think I can say they have any claim to being better. What an incredible career Brady has had.
