It's no easy answer, as I think in the last 20 years, Brady has had more help around him than anyone else, at least defensively and special teams wise. That said, when he's been needed to step up his game or come up with a perfect throw, the guy does it time and time again. That's what makes me want to put him at the top.
Where you can argue against Brady is that in just the little bit of time that he hasn't been out there playing, other journeyman type QBs have done well in his place (i.e. Matt Cassell, Jacoby Brissett, Jimmy Garoppolo).
I just look at all that Brady has accomplished and I have to put him at the top, at least of the 42 years I've been watching the NFL.
Otto Graham is the most interesting of all the "old" guys who played long before I started watching. When you watch film of him, he looked like he was a great athlete that could have played in any era. I think had he played in modern times, he could be just about as good as anyone.
