Tom Brady has admitted that Aaron Rodgers is a better passer of the ball than him, despite many regularly stating that the former is in fact the greatest quarterback ever.
Brady has won seven Super Bowl rings in his career, and played his best football in the league alongside Rodgers - with the two facing off on five different occasions.
They will both go down as first ballot Hall of Famers, while being able to stay playing at a high level into their 40's - with Rodgers signing a one-year deal with the Steelers despite turning 43 this year.
The two are masters of their craft, with Rodgers undoubtedly having the bigger arm and more highlight throws on his tape.
Meanwhile, Brady operates while manipulating defenses and finding weaknesses.
Brady still has arm talent in abundance though, with dozens of game-winning throws while making plays many quarterbacks could only dream of.
However, he admitted that Rodgers is the superior passer in comparison to him.
Brady said: "I think there's no greater passer of the football than Aaron Rodgers.
There are certain people - you see everyone do it, and then you see one person throw the ball that much better.
"He's hard to put into words, how incredible he passes the ball - the way it comes out of his hand, the way it spins and delivers with the pace and the accuracy." Despite Brady having more Super Bowl championships than Rodgers, the latter does have more of the league's biggest individual award.
Rodgers has four MVP awards to Brady's three - winning two back-to-back in 2020 and 2021.
Rodgers and Brady certainly have a mutual respect for one another while previously being rivals, while playing golf together at times in the offseason.
Rodgers is coming towards the end of his Hall of Fame career, where he'd long been seen as one of the greatest of all-time.
But after Brady's late-career push, winning four Super Bowl's in his last eight years to finish his career with seven rings, even Rodgers admitted that he is the greatest to ever do it.
Speaking on his late Super Bowl wins, Rodgers said: "I mean, he didn't need to win that to prove that he's the G.O.A.T., but just another part of his legacy there.".
