  • 1. Postseason Record

    Tommy Terrific holds a postseason record of 21-8. Five more wins than second place on the list, a guy you might know by the name of Joe Montana.

  • 2. Playoff Touchdowns

    The Patriots quarterback also holds the record for most touchdown passes in the playoffs (53) and in the Super Bowl (13).

  • 3. The Super Bowl MVP

    Not only does Brady have two NFL Most Valuable Player awards to his name ('07, '10), now he's been named a record-tying third Super Bowl MVP.

  • 4. The Belichick-Brady Relationship

    It's hard to argue against this coach-quarterback combo. Belichick and Brady have combined for the best coaching record all time at 160-47.

  • 5. You're So Money

    Quarterback's are often defined by how they play in crunch time with the game on the line and that's when Brady shines the most. He's engineered nine game-winning postseason drives including Super Bowl 49's 10-point comeback.

  • 6. Most Completions. Ever.

    In a tilt with one of the best secondary's in NFL history, Tom Brady completed a Super Bowl record 37 passes, breaking Peyton Manning's record from last season of 34 against -- you guessed it -- the Seahawks.

  • 7. Owner of the Division

    As a starting quarterback, Tom Brady has led his Patriots to 12 career AFC East division titles. The most by any single QB.

  • 8. Regular Season Baller

    Brady has made his name in the playoffs, but he isn't too shabby during the regular season either. He's been selected to the Pro Bowl 10 (!) times, while leading the NFL in passing TDs three seasons ('02, '07, '10).

  • 9. That's a lot of Super Bowls

    Tom Brady is a six-time AFC Champion, leading the Pats to six Super Bowls and a 4-2 record. Although, Joe Montana was 4-0 in the ultimate game, his playoff problems were prevalent in January.

  • 10. Not One, Not Two, Not Three...

    But four Super Bowl rings! Which just so happens to tie him with Montana and Terry Bradshaw for the most Super Bowl wins by a quarterback.

  • 11. Gisele

    Of course, along with the plethora of stats, achievements and championships, Tom Brady has super model Gisele Bundchen. He wins Super Bowls and life.
