At running the risk of sounding like a total curmudgeon, the term GOAT gets thrown around too much. Anyone who’s dominant for a few years will inevitably get called the Greatest of All-time, which isn’t really how this works. This is like Highlander: There can be only one.
Tom Brady is the actual GOAT. Stats don’t lie. Most passing yards, most completions, most passing touchdowns, most Super Bowls, and most Super Bowl MVPs — those are all held by Brady. There are more, but those are the records that will bring anyone to the realization that “Okay, yeah, no one was better at playing quarterback — or maybe even football — than Tom Brady.”
It’s going to be weird when he’s not around for the start of the 2022 season. For 20-some years, Tom Brady was this constant looming threat (obviously much more in the AFC East than anywhere else). Like, to win the Super Bowl, you usually had to slay the giant or get lucky enough that someone else would do it for you. Brady missed the playoffs once, way back in 2002. Otherwise, he had annual plans to break the hearts of whichever fan bases were unlucky enough to be matched up against him.
In the most fitting Loupe tribute we know, we want to see your favorite Tom Brady cards in your collection. Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram are share the most terrific of Tommy Terrific that you own. Ours are probably the Flawless patch autos numbered out of 2, and Hit Seekers pulled both of them live on Loupe.
