I'd say Brady has 2 Super Bowl Ws and 4 (straight) Super Bowl Ls. He still might be the best, but that resume looks and feels a lot different without the "head-scratching luck" he has enjoyed.
what about Otto Graham?
- 10 championship games (4 in the AAFL and 6 in the NFL) in a 10 year career
- 7 championships (4 in the AAFL and 3 in the NFL
and he was also on an NBL (predecessor of the NBA) championship team before he started his professional football career.......
