Tom Brady is considered by many to be football’s GOAT – but his Fox Sports teammate Terry Bradshaw apparently doesn’t share that opinion.
The former Steelers star appeared on the ‘Nothing Left Unsaid’ podcast with Tim Green, and noticeably didn’t mention the Patriots icon when asked to name the best passers in history.
As reported by Pro Football Talk, Bradshaw named players like Dan Fouts, Kenny Stabler, Troy Aikman, Brett Favre, Roman Gabriel and Joe Namath – and included another surprising name while he questioned Brady’s resumé.
‘People always say, ‘Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play.’ Okay, is he really?’ Bradshaw said. ‘Otto Graham might be the greatest quarterback to ever play. How many titles did Otto win? Ten? Look it up. And Tom lost three.’
In reality, former Browns star Graham and Brady boast the same 7-3 record in championship games.
And four of Graham’s titles came in the AAFC (rather than the NFL), which had just seven teams by the time it ceased in 1949.

Furthermore, Brady has Graham badly beat in counting stats.
The Browns quarterback, who competed from 1946-55, completed just 55.8 percent of his passes for 174 touchdowns and 23,584 yards over 10 years.
Brady, meanwhile, was far more accurate, completing 64.3 percent of his passes, and throwing for a ridiculous 89,214 yards and 649 touchdowns in his 23-year career.
The 48-year-old Brady ultimately retired for good in early 2023, eventually becoming Fox’s No. 1 game analyst – as well as a minority owner of the Raiders.
Bradshaw, 77, has been with Fox Sports since the launch of ‘Fox NFL Sunday’ in 1994.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989.
