Ranking the top moments from Tom Brady's career | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
There’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tweet thanking Tom Brady. This is a real, thank you. Usually, we see the thank you from a team account when they fired someone. This is the thank you, Tom Brady for putting asses in the seats for three years and also for winning a Super Bowl. A thank-you from the Patriots for winning six of them during his time with the team it was actually a rubber floated at one point this year that maybe he’d go back to New England for one more. A rod which would have been something. I am going
to miss him not being part of the game. He’s a great player. It’s fun to watch. It’s fun to watch him in prime time, it’s fun to watch him. Slip into that. That old-school Tom Brady, no-huddle mode, when he’s down multiple scores in the fourth quarter and he gets it done. We saw that a couple of times this year, the game will be different without him. So Chris with that said, let’s have a draft of the best moments of Tom Brady’s illustrious NFL career as always you’re up first. All right, well the I think the
the one that we gotta go Do right off the bat, is 2:32 right? That’s that’s the first pick. I mean, again, there’s
my butt moments. I’m the freaking man in the history of sports. So, that’s the first one I go to Tom, Brady, 2:32 is my first pick. And I remember being at that game after he threw the pick six in the first half and he’s sitting there dejected on the turf and I thought, wow, he is mortal. And then it started and it started and that’s the most memorable sporting event I’ve ever been present for. And I doubt that it’s going to be topped. I hope I live long enough that it will be topped, but that
was something. And, and that was. I remember saying, at the time, the perfect opportunity, To go get the ball after the game and stick it in Roger. Goodell stomach and say put this in your trophy case just like Paul Crewe. At the end of The Longest Yard, both versions first and second because it was the culmination of the Season where he missed the four games due to the deflategate suspension. All right, for me, it’s the first moment, the first big moment, the Tuck Rule game, the snow glow. Hmm, the game that started it all. I
mean, yes, he had played well enough during that regular season after Drew Bledsoe was injured to put the Patriots in position. But that It was the moment. The dynasty was born in New England, in that Snowy Evening and and the Tuck Rule that wasn’t and the game-winning field goal that was when the legend of Tom Brady really started to take root and it’s still something to see it. Now I’ll never forget watching that game that night as we all came to grips with the fact that kind of like Brock Purdy this year. This Tom Brady
guy is going to be a pretty good quarterback. Yeah I mean it’s the clutch comeback. I had that year and he kind of seemed like, you know, he was unflappable. There was nothing you could do to bother them and just say, yeah, that was the start, you’re right. That was a start and maybe a little bit of a, you know, Shamrock up the butt right there to help start it out. But either way, they took advantage of all their opportunities after that. But I would agree. That’s probably the first like Marky TV moment that you
think about maybe would Tom. Brady. And a lot of ways is Especially at the early part of his career, all right my next pick you know I think I’m going to go to Super Bowl 49. I’m going to go super 49 against the legion of boom in Arizona. Right against the Seattle Seahawks all of that to beat down. What were they down 9:40? If I have that, right? I believe, 24 14 2014 and that’s what it was for. 42 was 10 points to be down, 24:14 to that group right there. And then again, that was
a day where Not only was that a She’ll come back against the special defense, but he was on the cusp of going. Wait, I started off 3 and 0 and Super Bowls. And here I am going to be 0 and 3, right? And got, and instead they get the win, all right, Malcolm Butler makes the play. But either way, that puts him in Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana bill for four Super Bowls, that was a special moment that really was to come back on that defense. And when that Super Bowl, that was really remarkable. I’m going
to go to the entire 2007 season when the Patriots became the first team to go 16 and 0. Tom Brady threw 50, touchdown passes, he had Randy Moss and Wes Welker but that was kind of the year. And yes they had won three Super Bowls in four years. They lost in the divisional round in 2005 to the Denver Broncos, but that was the year, he kind of became and 2006. They lost to the Colts. Yeah, a big remember anyone’s name. Raping children 26, but 2000-2007 was the year. He became a superhero that it was larger
than life. That this is all mean. Holy crap. And this guy’s going to keep going and he’s going to be great and he became, you know, more and more and more of a passer, not just a guy who’s managing the game and making the big throw at the right time, but he became kind of Next Level. Big numbers Gap track, and I won every single game and they blew everybody out. There were no horseshoes up the but that year, they pretty much blew everyone. Except maybe that Ravens game, remember that Raven? There’s a raven Monday
night and he goes game and the Giants game. The Giants game. Yeah. Right. That was it. And I was at that Giants game and that was the year after I had lost my spleen. So I was on ir and I was like, hey, I mean I was in the NFL for 34 years. At that point I was like I’m gonna go to the damn Game and Watch Tom Brady, you know to your point I’m gonna see if you can break this record to see if they can go 16 to know. That was a special team
was a special night. Throws the bomb down the Right, sideline to to Randy Moss, right to break the record like certainly you know, not shy of the big moments and I think that’s why my last one damn. And there’s so many good ones here to pick but I don’t know how I don’t pick the the Super Bowl win with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you know, to go there, right? First year bucks, not a team. That’s traditionally winning consistently all that to go there and then beat the defending Super Bowl champions and Patrick Mahoney. Holmes. And
that game that was just crazy that it was the first time ever. We thought wait it’s awesome over a quarterback in the first year to go somewhere and win the Super Bowl. I thought you need time to learn a system and the team’s got to get used to each other. Just another great great moment in the greatest career, we’ve ever seen. And cut. Where else do you go from here? Have we done the well Super Bowl win over the Rams will know. That’s also say the last drive, that’s what I was going back for you
the the he’d thrown the greatest show on Turf right and went and out clutch. Kurt Warner at the end of a game, right? I that’s that that would probably be my next one if you want to take it, go ahead. Yeah. And so that so that’s that’s the one I’m taking because there’s only three rounds. I you had me. You had me thinking that that was one of your pics and I was not remembering it was one of your picks but it isn’t so Super Bowl 36 and I remember vividly and it’s funny now to
hear it and I can’t fault John Madden for it. John Madden was saying yeah, just play for overtime this point, right? And Bradys like the hell with that we’re too. And that that’s that’s that Joe burrow mindset. These moments are too few and far between some rise to the occasion and some, don’t Brady Rose to the occasion. He gave us a glimpse. Then of what he was going to become throughout the course of his entire NFL career, which is now Officially over and this time we think he means it by the way. 84 Brady premiering
in theaters Nationwide this weekend more PFT live right after this. So we know how this day is going to go and we know how the next five years will go. Tom, Brady Destin. This is one of those where there won’t even be a conversation. And some would say, those are the only ones who should get in the Hall of Fame. If you need to have a debate, it’s like that old thing. If you have to ask how much it is, you can’t afford it. If you have to argue whether or not the guys should get
in, He shouldn’t get in the only ones you should get into the ones. Of course, it would be a pretty small Hall of Fame but this is the one that we talked about the Deion Sanders Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame with in the hall of fame, maybe that’s what they should do. Have a Hall of Fame with in the Hall of Fame. The guys for whom there is no debate and Tom Brady would be the captain of that team definitely would be. I mean, gosh it’s I would imagine that I think you know,
before he’s gone or whatever, they’re going to be a special Wing In the Hall of Fame, for Tom Brady, you know, regardless He deserves to be in that Deion Sanders part of the Hall of Fame with a real gold jacket, and all that, like you’re saying you’re right. These are these are these are Ray Lewis Deion Sanders Reggie. White Lawrence, Taylor, Peyton Manning right those guys is your own spot, but Brady might be so big that he literally might have his own section. That’s, that’s how big were talking about and Brady is the first guy
I think at the NFL level mic and you can, please correct me if I’m wrong again. We’re just going off. The top of our heads here. No. Nobody has become the world star out of the NFL, like, Tom Brady. He’s the first Worldstar, the NFL has had, in my opinion. I think you’re right and I really do believe and I’m starting to come to terms with an idea that I’m going to put out there at some point Into The Ether. There really should be like a gods of football, some name. Yeah, I’m down with that,
I don’t know, but a room, a room with in the Hall of Fame that is reserved for the busts of the guys where you don’t even have a debate. Everyone knows there could be no debate. These are the guys, all we did a drafted. This moment Mike this is an all-time great goes into the burning Brady
