Quarterback legend Tom Brady does not see himself as the best passer in the NFL history. Instead, he raves about one of his greatest rivals.

Is Tom Brady the best passer in the NFL story?
If it is after the quarterback legend itself, the answer is: No!
Rather, the 48-year-old sees one of his greatest rivals in front of himself.
In conversation with “Pro Football Focus” Brady said that Aaron Rodgers was “the best passer the league has ever seen in his heyday”.
And the “Goat” also described why he sees “Prime A-Rod” at the top: “He was able to bring the ball faster and more precisely from point A to point B than any other player in the history of the NFL.”

Brady highlighted the year 2011 as a special period of time for Rodgers.
After almost all standards, the 41-year-old was at the height of his performance. He scored 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns as playmakers at the Green Bay Packers, led the NFL in the categories Passer Rating (122.5) and quarterback rating (83.8) and was elected for the first time to be MVP and All-Pro.
The QB rating of the four-time MVPs from 2011 is still seasonal record, and his 10.5 Adjusted Yards via Attempt are only behind Sid Luckman (10.96 in 1943) and Nick Foles (10.54 in 2013).
The Packers had a record of 15-1 this year, but then lost divisional round against the later Super Bowl champion New York Giants in the NFC.
