Talk:Tom Brady

After NFL Career Proposed Section
From the continuous involvement with Brady and the media, especially with Fox Sports, he looks to be staying within the NFL world for at least 5 more years.

That being said, is an after career section in order?(Support/Oppose) IEditPolitics (talk) 01:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

In the paragraph where it talks about his dynasty with the pats, you can actually say he's the only player in the NFL to win 3 super bowls in a 5 years period twice, making his team become a 2 time dynasty (being that a dynasty is described as winning 3 out of 5 championships in every sport) 212.178.231.231 (talk) 12:04, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Best Player?
Very simple topic, I see on the opening paragraph it says he is widely considered the greatest *quarterback*. While this is certainly true, I would argue that he is widely considered the greatest *player* period. Even the sources used to cite that sentence support that he is considered the greatest player, not just greatest quarterback. 2601:483:4B7E:BFD0:BC48:2787:F758:BE4E (talk) 04:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)


 * You could argue that, but it's not a definitive fact that he's widely considered the greatest players. Some like to point to Jerry Rice or Lawrence Taylor as the greatest for example. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It is difficult to compare players and present findings that can make opinions seem like facts. He is no doubt the most accomplished player in NFL history in terms of Super Bowl championships and numerous passing categories. How does that compare to other positions? We may never have a perfect answer. I'd like to think he is greatest player ever in my opinion just because of how important the quarterback position is, but some things are left to opinions and can never be concrete.

 * Couldn't agree more, it makes it an impossible discussion to find a conclusion to. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:15, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

"Winningest"
Fyi, I tried to revert you @Conan The Librarian, but you. I wanted to note a few sources:
 * https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/winningest
 * https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/american_english/winningest
 * https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/winningest
 * https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/winningest
 * https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/winningest

"Winningest" seems like an acceptable word to me. Pinging @Frank Anchor. It's just that it's typically used when discussing sports. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:45, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * As stated in my edit summary, “winningest” seems like a better option than “most successful.” The former literally means having the most wins, which is an indisputable, objective criterion. The latter is more ambiguous of a term since being successful is a lot more subjective in nature.  The sentence could also be changed to something along the lines of “Brady leads all NFL quarterbacks with 251 regular season wins and 35 postseason wins.”  Frank   Anchor  20:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It's a common American term. The arguments are usually for non-American readers and MOS:COMMONALITY. —Bagumba (talk) 05:19, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks all, it's a word I particularly remember from "winningest kittens" on kittenwars, and had assumed some jokey construction - perhaps by them - that had gained Internet parlance though googling led me to similar references. I'm a bit sceptical it belongs here for the reasons stated but unlike some words with a regional constraint this one is at least easily interpretable. I would also imagine it's used elsewhere in similar articles so I won't argue it further. Conan The Librarian (talk) 10:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
