Apples and Oranges


Tom Brady has six Super Bowl wins (and counting) while Michael Jordan earned six NBA championships.  Who’s the better player?  Anyone who says Brady, give me a break.

 

Yes, he’s arguably the greatest quarterback ever, but that’s it.  Consider that, with Jordan, “greatest” can refer both to his defense and offense.  Last time I checked, Brady only plays offense.  And, despite the violence inherent in the NFL, I’d still argue that Jordan absorbed more punishment in one season than Brady in six.  Unlike the Bears, who have always treated quarterbacks as something between a nuisance and a mystery, the Patriots have always understood Brady’s value and surrounded him with a first-class offensive line.

On second thought, make the Jordan/Brady getting-pounded ration 1:8.
