With his list of accomplishments, you might think that Brady would have earned the respect and admiration of everyone, much like Joe Montana before him.
Not so.
Despite the mass praise of Montana himself, as well as another famous "Joe" at quarterback - "Broadway" Joe Namath, many still feel that Brady is undeserving of the respect accorded to other incredibly accomplished quarterbacks. Only two other guys have won the Super Bowl as quarterback as many times as Brady has -Montana and, of course, Terry Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Plus, Brady's legacy is not yet complete. He will play more, and add more to his numbers and, possibly even more titles. We may see him yet in another Super Bowl, and possibly winning another one, too!
So, why do I get the feeling that, even if he does, there will still be no shortage of detractors trying to take away from his incredibly long list of accomplishments?
