Bill Belichick: Tom Brady is the 'greatest quarterback of all time'

Tom Brady may have some doubts about where he stacks up in the pantheon of otherworldly quarterbacks, but for his coach there is no uncertainty. Speaking Thursday at the 2016 Salesforce World Tour, Bill Belichick called Brady "greatest quarterback of all time," according to ESPN.com's Mike Reiss.
Brady and Belichick have been together since the Patriots selected the former Michigan quarterback in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft (you may have heard something about that). Brady won the starting job in 2001, and now, 15 years after that, Brady's list of accomplishments -- four Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVPs, 11 Pro Bowls, more than 58,000 passing yards, 428 touchdown passes, so on and so forth -- makes him a no-brainer first-ballot Hall of Famer.
It also makes him one of the best ever, according to Belichick.
"He's been just a tremendous leader and tremendous player for our organization," the coach said, before answering a question about how the Patriots are annually one of the NFL's most competitive teams. (Since Brady and Belichick teamed up in 2001, the team has one at least 10 games 14 times, never had a losing season, and made the playoffs on all but two occasions.)

Belichick calls Brady 'greatest quarterback of all time'

Bill Belichick went out of his way to gush over Peyton Manning in January, saying: "There's no player off our team that I have any more respect for than (him)."
The Patriots coach, though, saved his highest praise for the passer he's teamed with since 2000, calling Tom Brady the "greatest quarterback of all time."
"He's been just a tremendous leader and tremendous player for our organization," Belichick said, per ESPN.com's Mike Reiss.
Belichick's comments came Friday during the 2016 Salesforce World Tour in Boston, not an event we expected the coach to leverage for high-octane comments about the most important position in sports.
