Who does the GOAT consider to be the GOAT?
Tom Brady, in an appearance on the Stick To Football podcast, gave a strong endorsement of Aaron Rodgers.
“I think there’s no greater passer of the football than Aaron Rodgers,” Brady said, via Troy Montgomery of Steelers Depot. “There’s certain people, you see everyone do it, and then you see one person throw the ball that much better. Aaron Rodgers was incredible.”

Brady says it like Rodgers isn’t still playing. For at least one more year, Rodgers will continue to be spinning it for the Steelers.
“[It’s] hard to put into words how incredible he passes the ball,” Brady said. “The way it comes out of his hand, the way it spins and delivers with the pace and the accuracy. . . . There’s only probably three people in the history of the NFL that could do it like him.”
Of course, throwing the ball is just part of what it takes to play quarterback. For whatever reason (and it’s possibly as simple as Rodgers not having enough help around him), he has been to and won only one Super Bowl. Brady has won seven Super Bowls, and he’s been to 10.
It’s also worth noting that, when Brady’s Raiders were looking for a quarterback in 2025, they did not pursue Rodgers, opting instead for a run at Matthew Stafford and then a trade for Geno Smith.

Rodgers’s claim to GOAT status comes from an uncanny touchdown-to-interception ratio (527 to 123 in the regular season) and the general sense that he has the rare ability to put extra mustard on his throws, with the ball making a different kind of sound as it slices through the air.
He’ll have at least one more chance to parlay his arm talent into winning a second ring.
