There’s nothing you can say about Brady to overstate his greatness and legacy. The numbers, accolades, and championships speak for themselves, but what truly made him the “GOAT” was his sheer will to be great and overcome adversity. Despite being doubted his whole career, and not possessing the best physical attributes, he accomplished more than anybody has or ever will.
There will be an endless stream of Brady echo chambers lauding his achievements while eulogizing his career, but don’t forget its darker side. Brady and the Patriots were embroiled in scandals from the start of his career, and he should not be able to escape the “cheater” label. If sports greats like Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong are considered cheaters, even while out of the spotlight, so should Brady.
