I don't think it makes him the GREATEST....but its a hell of a start. He pulls off a few of these during his career and you can start throwing around his name w/ montana.
Its definitely the greatest Rookie performance IF he pulls it off (Lets not put the cart before the horse). And he also needs to be one of the reasons they win the superbowl......handing off to the "Bus" doesn't qualify you as a great QB.
15 games does not constitute a career either. he needs a little longevity.
You have to remember he didn't just lead his team to the superbowl...he was the MVP of both of them. Last year the Pats leading rusher had only 600+ yards...yet they won 14 in a row enroute to winning the superbowl, a lot of which was on Brady's arm.
I don't think Brady is one of the greatest ever....yet....but he is definitely well on his way. Once he wins another....Superbowl....that will pretty much do it
Basically........Big Ben can never be considered greater than Brady until he has MORE than 2 rings and 2 MVP's.....thats just basic logic right there
