If Brady plays 3 more years, arguments like this one (highest statistical accumulation = best player) won't matter anyway.
I'm not talking about the whole career, I'm talking about a period of the career. In the 10 years between 2001 to 2010, Peyton Manning was regularly the best player in football. That's obviously not a knock on Brady, who was unreal most of the time and I'm not trying to compare them. Just saying that if someone wants to say Peyton choked back then because he only got one title (which is pretty common), then they can't mock him for winning a title playing poorly on a great team since for me that's two conflicting concepts.
In fact, Brady had 4 more yards in the first SB win than Manning had in the last with similar overall stats. And yet you don't hear people saying that Drew Bledsoe could have won it because it doesn't matter.
