OK, so most people will agree that Montana and/or Young were the greatest QBs of at lreast the last twenty years.

both were a super-efficient passer and had unholy winning percentages.

Both ran the west coast offense, both had uber-talented wide-outs.

Both used the pass almost as extra running plays, hitch-outs/screens etc.

Now my question is:

Tom Brady is all of the above with the exception of a Jerry Rice quality reciever. If he wins another Super Bowl or two is he one of the all-time greats? He currently owns a .700+ winning percentage (I think .714). Only Young has one better.

Granted this kid is young, but what do you think? Can a QB still get in the HOF by winning multiple SB's, but not having staggering numbers (like a Fouts/Marino)??
