Talk:Tom Brady/Archive 7

Two records that could be added
When Tom starts vs the cowboys he’ll be the oldest non kicker to start at 45 and Tom has 744 TDS passing and rushing combined so he’ll need 6 more for 750 but that might be too niche to add. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 04:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Optional record to add
Most wins vs a single Team 33-3 Vs the Buffalo Bills by Tom Brady. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 02:12, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Stats on passing should stay
Tom leads in both Tds and Yards Completions and Attempts they are even combined once you search up the leaders of each category near the middle or bottom it also shows his dominance and totality of his work and skill painting a picture of how far away the competition/2nd place is Drew Brees 608 tds to Tom 710 yards 85K to 97K by Tom Brady. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 08:39, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Optional Milestone
About 6 different QBs have hit a new hundreds first to was 100 Sammy Baugh-200 Y.A Titlle-300 Fran Tarkenton-400Dan Marino-500 Brett Favre the 6th QB is Tom Brady being the First to 600th Touchdown surprised this hasn’t been added but I can think that it might be niche being the first to a TD hundred but it is a important sight and Achievement. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 09:08, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Wins do matter Part 2
I never said every Stat should be added I simply saw Peyton had it in his record section and so asked is it only first combined wins number 300 that will be added which I think will be the case if Tom plays another season after this current one we have. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 19:59, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Two milestones to watch out for
(First to 100K Yards combined)(first to 90K Yards Regular season)(first to 250 Wins Regular season) thanks for the correction or info on Top 100 placement not being added due to lack of consensus hopefully Laureus gets added one day tho. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 01:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Generally, stats combined between playoffs and regular season are not tracked or recognized as milestone achievements. In the case of Tom Brady however, media outlets tend to latch on to anything that could be considered a record, no matter how obscure, in order to create material and attract visitors. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:22, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I haven’t heard of any one saying such remarks and “obscure” is purely a Subjective inference and or observation having hit 100K is a feat that is something the NFL will acknowledge and congratulate Tom for doing so I’d agree not to add it but wouldn’t be against it as a First to such a Number. Chn23 (talk) 08:26, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

NFL career records - Regular season and playoffs combined
Regular and playoff stats are rarely, if ever, tracked together. They're typically only combined when talking about Tom Brady and come off as WP:PUFFERY. I'd like to propose that this section be removed. He leads most passing categories separately, and adding the two together to add an addition section does not improve the article in any meaningful way. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:44, 22 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm waiting another day or two for comment and reasoning as to why the combined section should not be removed. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:58, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm going to go ahead with this some time today if nobody but the IP editor has any input, as I haven't heard a good reason besides WP:ILIKEIT. A similar effort is being made to trim the unnecessary long achievement list of LaDainian Tomlinson at the NFL WikiProject. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:37, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Absolutely no reason to remove it as it isn’t something niche or small as they are important to show the magnitude of someone’s Footprint on Football if anything you’re criticism falls under https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT&redirect=no aka “It’s annoying” or “It’s Trivia” I never once said it was cool or I liked it I brought up certain individuals that showed excellence and have such records as examples and you went off of personal opinion and or LT when he’s a different situation case in point “most games with 14 points” which isn’t close to this very predicament they need to stay because they are major records you want to act like aren’t of any consideration every point you’ve put down so far either makes no sense or isn’t the case here. Chn23 (talk) 08:02, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you've finally registered instead of remaining as an IP user @Chn23.
 * It is absolutely considered trivia and puffery. As previously mentioned, the standard is the standard, and the standard is to not list the stats combined. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Not to mention “It’s cruft” and “No need” which is some examples that are prevalent now. Chn23 (talk) 08:19, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

I’ve said many times beforehand they are not “trivia” and or “Puffery” as they are major and solely owned by one Person. The Standard has exceptions especially for someone who currently Owns all the major Passing records I’ve brought up examples that even you ignored like Don Shula Combined Wins record I called it and knew you’d wipe out a section such a Choice is wrong and Incorrect to the highest degree and must be Changed and reversed,@Hey man im josh  Chn23 (talk) 19:20, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

@Heymanimjosh Chn23 (talk) 19:27, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Wins do matter
Tom has 278 wins rn combined first to 250-275+ and regular season he has 243 Peyton in his record section has “First QB to reach 200 wins Playoffs and Regular Season Combined” so is 250-275 a mile stone or is it only 300 as for regular season he’s close to hitting 250+ 7 games close. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 08:46, 23 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Not every milestone or accolade in existence needs to be added to the article. As previously mentioned, regular and playoff stats are not typically tracked together. This would only serve to add WP:FANCRUFT to the article. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:00, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Except they are tracked on there pages but the one who has the records should have it on there page but you wiped it out by yourself because you saw it as “annoying” and “trivia” which is not enough. Chn23 (talk) 19:03, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Clearing up the fog/confusion
Both regular and playoff stats combined are tracked and updated for Tds Yards Completions and attempts both on there respective Pages as for Tom he’s the exception due to his reputation and legacy. If you change the passing stats all the other combined stats would be messed with too even though they are records still same with having won 278 games or Started for the most games 363 and sacked the most 622 Game winning drives and comebacks etc. Tom has the records Tom get to display them others can’t because they don’t have such Records and it has been there for quite some time with no backlash or disagreements. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 20:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)


 * As you stated, Tom is the exception. If the standard is to not combine the stats for every player, then why would we apply it differently to Tom? We shouldn't. The standard is meant to be applied the same way to everybody.
 * Something being one way for a long time is not a valid reason to not remove something. We don't display every single record that Tom has because the page would become incredibly bloated. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:25, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

You answered you’re own question as he has those records because he is exceptionally Great do you wonder why he is treated differently then others ?? Or has Ben regarded as the Greatest Football player of all time. If this was a discussion on most games with 3-4 tds all time or 200-300 yard passing games you’d have a leg to stand on but Stats like Most times sacked or Most passing yards or Touchdowns are important and unique to select individuals who’ve done more then anyone ever expected. Chn23 (talk) 07:53, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Clearing up confusion on records
Being a exceptional person means you’ll be treated or seen differently especially when it comes to records if you try to effect a couple you’ll might try to effect the whole section of combined stats which has stood with no criticism or debate until very very recently All/some of his combined records have been displayed by even the NFL and it’s networks they allow and on there YouTube videos too as for the passing stats I proved they are tracked and for the person that leads them has them same with Brett favre and his starts record which includes the postseason too and no one is against it certain Exceptions are made for the best of the best and greatest players including coaches Don Shula and his combined wins record we should not disrespect the real important records and change it. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 07:56, 26 August 2022 (UTC)


 * People either reference career or post-season stats, they never reference them together. I understand you're a Brady homer, but there's a limit to what should be included before it becomes WP:FANCRUFT or puffery. We cannot include every single possible record that Brady has. Brady is not alone in this, some people from the NFL WikiProject are working on shortening LaDainian Tomlinson's record list. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:33, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

People do reference both or separately case in point Don Shula Wins Record which Bill is chasing both regular and combined too 347 is a highly Legendary number same with Brett Favres “Iron Man starting record” Tom Records aren’t even close to LT as they don’t go by games or try to extend it when everyone acknowledges them and it was even a big deal when he threw 700 Touchdowns and soon will throw for 100K he owns the records same with Jerry rice and having 208 Touchdowns postseason and regular season none of those records are scoffed at or Puffery you’re reasoning didn’t work because I pointed out Tom has those records and they are solely his and are important most games started and all the other stats should not be messed with as they are key to his legacy and showing the totality of his work and playing career. Chn23 (talk) 07:40, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Ironman streaks don't count playoff games either.
 * If Tom owns the records for regular season and post season, then of course he would own the record for the combined stats. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:39, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Brett Total Starting record includes the playoffs too extending it too the 300+ games same with Don Shula Wow you wiped out a whole Section of records by yourself all because you disliked them knowing they are records that are of utter importance all because I brought up Tom was getting close to 100K not a single other person agreed or saw them as unnecessary I knew you would wipe it out and not just the passing stats just a total misuse of the edit in every way possible.

New England Patriots All-Decade, Anniversary, & All-Dynasty team in the info box
Is Tom the only person that can't have their franchise's honorary teams in their info box? I edited the article once to include them about 3 weeks ago from this date, but I was told team-specific accolades are not noted here. Why is this only the case for Tom, especially since the Wikipedia's sport players info box guidelines specifically supports the notion. When his number is retired when he's done and when he gets inducted into the Patriots HOF, will that wrongly be the case too? If so I would like to start the movement of his getting his team specific accolades in his info box, like all other all-time NFL players and his Patriot teammates who were also selected, especially when the guidelines encourage it. And especially because he is the greatest player in the franchise's history. Pats6XChamps (talk) 03:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * For reference, team HOFs are listed in the infobox of Brett Favre, Joe Montana, John Elway, and Peyton Manning, to name just a few. —Bagumba (talk) 05:21, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Precisely. I am only like a month old account, so I don't really know too much of the specific rules of Wikipedia. So I wanna revert it to the right way like I said like all of the other all-time greats and fellow Patriot honorees, however I do not want to be blocked or banned in an edit war with someone. Is there some way I can get an administrator to clear me for this with my reasoning? Like I said, the guidelines encourages it to be applied, and if you look at someone like Peyton who also has a long list they are still allowed there.
 * Thank you. Pats6XChamps (talk) 09:44, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Editors are asked to be bold. That said, editors shouldn't get into edit wars or edit against consensus, which could lead to blocks, as you noted. As you've already invested in starting this discussion, I'd recommend just waiting a few more days for input, and consensus (if any) shoud be clearer. —Bagumba (talk) 09:58, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Appreciate the quick responses. And for you adding to the conversation/my point. I'll do my due diligence and wait it out like you said. Thank you! Pats6XChamps (talk) 10:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The standard is to add these honours. My opinion is that they should be added, though, I think some people would be concerned at how bloated the infobox becomes for Brady by adding them.
 * It is what it is though. I don't personally believe in exceptions, so bloated or not, I think they belong. To anybody who points to other top players who don't have all the personal team accolades in their infobox, consider that not every team releases All-Decade or other milestone (such as 50th anniversary) teams. This means players like Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers don't end up with as many team accomplishments and subsequently have less bloated infoboxes. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:21, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * As nobody has made an alternative proposal, I'd defer to WP:NFLINFOBOX, which seems to capture the existing standard in bios w.r.t. franchise anniversary teams, etc.—Bagumba (talk) 10:23, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * So, is it clear to add the info or shall we still give it more time?
 * Thank you. Pats6XChamps (talk) 19:31, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd say you should be in the clear to go ahead and add the accomplishments. It's been a few days and the standard that we use for infoboxes (WP:NFLINFOBOX) does show that they are allowed to be included. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:36, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Also hey man I’m Josh, I want to really thank you for fixing the redirects and the wikilinks for the Patriots honorary teams for the teams own wiki page and individual players. Really appreciate it. Pats6XChamps (talk) 22:52, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem at all, I had created a few of them a while back and finished creating the rest after a section was split and another added. So pretty much just finishing what I started =P
 * P.S. Use username to get my attention next time if you're directing a comment towards me, that way I'm sure to see it. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:02, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I created an account to (respectfully) say that I think it makes his career highlight selection look substantially worse. Peyton, Elway, Montana, etc. all look like they have two team bullets following the format: 1. Team Hall of Fame & 2. Number Retired. And the number-retiring is actually cool.
 * Brady, in contrast, has four bullets 'Patriots All Decade Teams', 'Patriots Anniversary Team', and 'Patriots All Dynasty Team' in a section that's already packed, and will presumably be in the Pats HOF and have his number retired as well later on. There's no need to bloat the award highlight section with team fluff for the QB that needs it the least. Kgomu (talk) 14:37, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The standard is the standard. It shouldn't be held against Brady, or any other player for that matter, that Elway, Montana, and Peyton played on teams that do not make all-decade teams. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Hopeful optimism
There’s a Top 100 list done by the players and the player who gets the 1ST spot gets a award it’s been going on YouTube since 2010 or 2011 Tom has won it times (2011 2017 2018). As for another award Lifetime Achievement from Laureus even a YouTube video of him acceptance speech online on there channel the Top 100 list I get not being added as it’s niche but second award you can find video of Tom holding it and giving thanks. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 06:08, 18 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The top 100 lists are generally not considered notable, as many players have spoken about how they just rank their friends high. They're explicitly mentioned as not to be included in the infobox of NFL players at WP:NFLINFOBOXNOT. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:08, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * They're tracked listed on Pro Football Reference, released by the NFL, and based on the results of the higher names (players only vote for 20 players on their ballots), most players do take it seriously. I don't think anybody could point to a single name in the top 20 for any year (let along the #1 name) and argue they weren't great at the time. For guys like Aaron Donald, who haven't received a single AP MVP vote but are constantly among the top few Top 100 players, that award gives valuable context for how much fellow players respect him.
 * It looks like the main reason that including NFL Top 100 listings in the career highlight box are mentioned to not be included is the potential bloat, but that could be pretty easily addressed with formatting i.e. "3x NFL Top 100 (2011 #1, 2012 #6, 2013 #8). But either way, I think being #1 multiple times there is more impactful than "Patriots 2010s All Decade Team". Kgomu (talk) 15:13, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * If you disagree with the format then raise a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League while referencing WP:NFLINFOBOX. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:35, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Undid records removal
@Hey man im josh too much substance removed. Some of that is fluff but, for instance, most players thrown a touchdown pass to and most NFL championships (to point out the tie with Otto Graham) is worth listing. Somarain (talk) 04:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for providing feedback I'll review it again later today and see what parts may be moved and what should go.  Hey man im josh (talk) 10:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * In regards to the Regular season and playoffs combined section;
 * Most NFL championships by player: 7
 * Already mentioned under the Super Bowl section, however it was not wikilinked so I changed this
 * Most championships in professional football history by a quarterback: 7 (tied with Otto Graham)
 * "Most wins as a quarterback" is listed under Super Bowl, but I've replaced it with this. Moved to Super Bowl section for now, but I want to discuss this point further. The NFL actually doesn't recognize stats from the AAFC, so it would stand to reason that they also don't recognize the championships.
 * Most players throwing a touchdown pass to: 92
 * This appears to be a combined record as well, as PFR has him with passing touchdowns to 90 receivers in 624 regular season games. I'll modify this entry to 90 and add it to the regular season section. It's already mentioned as an individual playoff stat (of which he has 34 different receivers for touchdown passes).
 * Most games won by a player: 278
 * Most games played by a quarterback: 365
 * Most games started by a quarterback: 363
 * Most games played by a skill position player: 365
 * Most games started by a skill position player: 363
 * Most combined passing attempts: 13,172
 * Most combined pass completions: 8,428
 * Most combined touchdown passes: 710
 * Most combined passing yards: 97,569
 * Most game-winning drives: 67
 * Most fourth-quarter comebacks: 51
 * Most times sacked: 622
 * The rest is combined record puffery, most of which he's very close to the top in in the regular season or leads both the regular season and playoffs in.
 * I've made modifications based on this. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Look good to me. Somarain (talk) 16:00, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks I'm happy to hear you're satisfied =) Hey man im josh (talk) 16:03, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the issue was that Brady passed Brees in combined records before he passed him in regular season records, so a distinction was made. Now that Brady has passed him in the regular season records as well the combined records are superfluous. Somarain (talk) 16:07, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

None of that is Puffery you keep saying that so much that it’s meaning is getting misused you know the are monitored by the All time Wiki pages and Tom owns them and you’re excuses which was absolutely foolish was but others don’t own them so why should Tom and now a person has come out they criticize you and the edit you made they are major records that are important and more would say they are then not. Chn23 (talk) 10:06, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Vandalism and edit wipe
The section of Combined records needs to be added after it was wiped by a person who saw them as unnecessary due to “no one else has those records” and claims of “Puffery” none of which did anyone else collaborated or agreed with and all of which were debunked and disputed heavily a single persons Vendetta and self view can not and should not effect this page especially with such points that make no sense once you Disprove such unfounded accusations. Chn23 (talk) 19:11, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I think you misunderstand what vandalism and it's inappropriate to accuse me of it over a content dispute. I gave quite a bit of time for discussion before I removed the section, and you were the only one to oppose without giving any good reason except points that amount to WP:ILIKEIT.


 * What are you talking about regarding a vendetta? I've been cold and neutral about this. It's about consistency across pages. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:29, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

It’s clearly vandalism when you clearly stated issue with some records and decided to wipe clean a whole section that was not even mention by you such underhanded decisions and actions are bad and against the rules and or guidelines not to mention you bringing up baseless wrong claims and situations that were night and day everything you said was incorrect and or wrong you can’t remove something on the grounds of “it’s not interesting” it’s your views which is not supported Chn23 (talk) 10:02, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * You need to stop with your accusations of vandalism, you were by an admin about making such statements. Please read WP:NOTVAND. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:30, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay wrongful edit and misuse you didn’t even check the guidelines to make the change and was still hypocritical and false either way Chn23 (talk) 11:31, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Wrongful use of Edit and contradictions/Hypocrisy
As I have said before the combined Stats aka Records should be add due to a mistake and poor judgment by a Person who brought up false claims and situations that weren’t even close to the point or resembled it that were disproven and even turned on him by a little digging into a segment on what not to take off/Remove shows why (Not interesting and or etc) when the NFL itself brings up the combined stats on its official pages accounts / channels then they are recognized and acknowledged the importance of them are major and Humongous lastly These records and achievements are there for the Record Holder Tom Brady and why others don’t have them which is self evident and obvious “clear as day” as some would or might say. Chn23 (talk) 10:16, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Forgot to add in that a issue was brought up about how not only the combined passing stats records would be wiped but all of the combined section which the person who did so left out in the original suggestion and did so knowing what they were gonna do which was a dirty and mischievous Move one that wasn’t originally done out of there own will but reaction and spite from a question all in all wrong at every point and wrong by Wikipedia Standards and or Guidelines too. Chn23 (talk) 10:27, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Reminder that you need to assume good faith. None of the actions taken were "dirty and mischievous", and accusations of such are inappropriate. You were already warned by an administrator regarding inappropriate accusations of vandalism.
 * There was constructive feedback from one user and I worked with them on it until we came to a satisfactory conclusion. Please link the sources and explain what Wikipedia standards and guidelines are being violated. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:28, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

You literally brought up originally that you only you wanted to wipe out the combined passing stats and then wiped out all of the Combined stats that weren’t even passing as in Sacks and Games played and started which is dirty and underhanded 1000% as for the guidelines guess I’ll need to post them again Chn23 (talk) 11:26, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

As for my source you didn’t even scroll down to what not to remove aka https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT&redirect=no “trivia It’s annoying it’s boring or not interesting” which were you’re faults or slights against the section which no one had a issue with in the first place Chn23 (talk) 11:34, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

(Forgot to add“no need” as for everything you said or felt about the combined section was disproven and argued against all with great points and logic not one single stance was even close to being agreeable or near to being correct. Chn23 (talk) 11:41, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Strained marriage and divorce lawyers
Is it too early to start a Personal life subsection on Brady's strained marriage with his wife Bündchen and the reports of involvement with divorce lawyers? Given it's currently contentious and the BLP policies, and there isn't a wealth of information at this time, I'm curious if we should at least start. Saucysalsa30 (talk) 06:31, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, still too soon. It's all just gossip and rumours at this point. Neither Gisele or Tom have confirmed, publicly, that they're in the process of divorcing. See WP:GOSSIP. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:53, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Retirement After the 2022-23 Season
Tom did an interview a while back about the end of the season, saying he’s not retiring after the pressure that’s been put on him if he is going to retire after the season. He said he’s going to continue playing. (Via the Bucs TikTok page). I’m not sure if this is a true interview but you guys can take it how you want. Richard DeMelo (talk) 21:20, 31 October 2022 (UTC)


 * He did say that he has no plans to retire any time soon…, but it’s not up to us to speculate that per the crystal ball policy. Trillfendi (talk) 21:37, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Is the "Super Bowl drought" really so notable it needs to be in the title of two subsections?
Seems weird. I guess it's notable that there was a cluster of years in which Brady didn't win a Super Bowl, but a 9 year "drought" for almost every other QB is just called their career. Somarain (talk) 06:24, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I see reasoning for and against. For Brady personally, it was a drought but in the grand scheme of the NFL, not really. It is just up to the editor probably on how to word it and see if it sticks. Red Director (talk) 01:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Ongoing discussion about returning a Brady statistic

That’s what I asked for as the entire section of combined Stats was wiped out by a single person who was wrong/Misguided in multiple reasonings these stats/Records are vital and of the most importance such acts being allowed and overlooked is just disheartening and quite morbid to think about.

Recommendation/Request to bring back and restore the Combined stat section immediately and soundly.
As it’s been said and argued before neither the decision or edit was approved or supported by anyone and the Stats do not go against the rules or regulations, they are both important and valuable to the Legacy and Career of Tom Brady as now Tom Brady has the records both in regular and postseason/playoffs, Not to mention not one person complained or rallied against the aforementioned Section seeing as the reasons to do so are nonexistent or easily countered with actual rules/regulations with a little bit of checking or in-depth contemplation of such a major situation/edit.

Change this line: "Brady has never had a losing season as the starter and only missed the playoffs in 2002, the first year he started all 16 regular season games. With the Patriots, Brady led the team to 17 AFC East titles."

to "Brady has had only one losing season as the starter (in 2022-2023) and only missed the playoffs in 2002, the first year he started all 16 regular season games. With the Patriots, Brady led the team to 17 AFC East titles." BryanAndrew19 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Too many records in the info box
We need a standard for what records are notable enough to be here. I think it should be records that have their own article. That would remove these recent ones:


 * Most pass attempts in a season: 733 (2022)
 * Most pass completions in a season: 490 (2022)
 * Most times sacked: 565

Let me know what you think. Somarain (talk) 21:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Most times sacked isn't shown in the infobox currently, but I agree with leaving it off. The other two are still in the infobox and I have no problem with them as is. Brady's infobox was trimmed at one point because the sheer amount of notable records he has was just too much to properly summarize. Currently only 7 major records are listed, which I think is just fine. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Unsupported Assertion on Donald Trump

Inaccuracies
Part if this article claims Brady and Belicheck had 11 Super Bowl appearances, this is false. They had 9. Could someone fix this? 2600:1014:B02F:E8DE:F464:1722:1F89:8EA9 (talk) 23:28, 24 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Are you referring to The dynasty is regarded as one of the greatest in sports history, with Brady's successes helping the Patriots set the records for Super Bowl appearances (11) and wins (6, tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers)? That doesnt say Brady–Belicheck went to 11 on their own. Do you have a better wording in mind? —Bagumba (talk) 23:59, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Bagumba is correct. The article is not saying they had 11 Super Bowl appearances; it's saying the Patriots hold that record mostly because of them. Bluerules (talk) 15:54, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Final "3 Seasons" Really?
3 Seasons is a long time, some very notable Quarterbacks don't even make it past 2 on a single team, I'd recommend deleting that part. And instead stating he "spent 3 seasons with the Buccaneers". If he had spent 1 season I could see that being appropriate. 71.9.141.71 (talk) 19:46, 1 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The previous sentence says he played his first 20 seasons with the Patriots. Final is for clarity. It's a factual statement that isn't discrediting his Buccaneers tenure; it's acknowledging that's where he ended his career. I fail to see what the issue is.

 * It says seven, you need to read on (to the next sentence after the Patriots): "Brady led the Patriots to 17 division titles (including 11 consecutive from 2009 to 2019), 13 AFC Championship Games (including eight consecutive from 2011 to 2018), nine Super Bowl appearances, and six Super Bowl titles, all NFL records for a player and franchise.[b] He joined the Buccaneers in 2020 and won Super Bowl LV, extending his individual records to 10 Super Bowl appearances and seven victories.[7]".
