There's a case to be made that TomBrady actually has had three distinct HOF careers. You might be surprised by the results ⤵️
Jim Rogash/Getty ImagesBrady threw his 50th touchdown pass of the season against the Giants in Week 17 of 2007, setting an NFL record that Peyton Manning broke in 2013 .The Patriots' undefeated season came to an end at Super Bowl XLII after Plaxico Burress' last-minute score secured the Giants' victory.Brady tore the ACL in his left knee after a hit from Bernard Pollard in the first quarter in Week 1 in 2008. He missed the rest of the season and the Patriots missed the playoffs.
Brady would likely have to be a HOF finalist for a few years with this statistical profile, but his impact on the game, ranking vs. his contemporaries and the context of how he lifted New England during some roster erosion would push him over the top, even though he didn't win a championship.There would be vigorous debate over this seven-year span, and I don't think he would make it on the first ballot because of the lack of titles.
In January 2020, I was sitting on the Centennial Hall of Fame committee with Bill Belichick when he said he measures Hall worthiness based on"how that individual performs in the critical moments against championship-caliber opponents." So losing two Super Bowls in this phase of his career hurts Brady, but it is not a disqualification. I would vote yes.
