A statue of great magnitude is called a colossus, although the adjective colossal is also used to describe an architectural element of disproportionate size or gigantic dimensions… All that is Tom Brady.
Tampa Bay has the living legend on its roster and, beyond the victory with 44 seconds on the clock over the Rams, Tom Brady increased his legacy by exceeding 100,000 passing yards, combining regular season and playoffs. If we see the table of quarterbacks in this area, there are 13 thousand 49 yards difference with Drew Brees, already retired. Same case of Peyton Manning, in third place with 79 thousand 279. Brett Favre is the fourth best in history, with 77 thousand 693, and Ben Roethlisberger in fifth place, with 70 thousand 60. All, already retired.
It is worth placing parameters to ratify the colossus condition of the number 12 of the Buccaneers. Joe Montana threw for 40,551 yards, and the 1983 Draft class is led by Dan Marino with 61,361, John Elway (51,475) and Jim Kelly with 35,467).
Let’s go back to 2022, where 45-year-olds don’t make a difference to 25-year-old quarterbacks, on average. Patrick Mahomes has 2,605 yards, in first place this season; Brady is second, with 2,547.
There is no doubt that Tom is a true colossus.
