Tom Brady stats and facts. Not affiliated with Tom Brady, the New England Patriots, or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Header photo from Pro Football Reference.
Tom Brady’s career is far more than 35 playoff wins, 10 Super Bowls, and 7 rings.
It’s also not just longevity. He has some of the greatest statistical seasons of all-time and has led several of the best/most efficient offenses of all-time.
Thread on regular season Brady:
Career winning% (playoffs included)
Joe Montana .711 (133-54)
Peyton Manning .685 (200-92)
Aaron Rodgers .649 (159-85-1)
Tom Brady vs. non-AFCE teams
.728 (195-73)
Alex Smith just made excellent points about Tom Brady’s “the NFL is worse” take while side-swiping two former Patriots and accidentally obliterating a former head coach of the Jets AND Bills. Immaculate television.
Including the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes just won his 86th career game.
That puts him exactly 200 wins behind Tom Brady.
Peyton Manning is 2nd all-time with 200 wins.
Mahomes, in his 7th year in the NFL, is Peyton Manning’s entire career away from tying Brady in wins.

Tom Brady - 6
Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, and Cam Newton combined - 5
It’s playoff time.
So here is a Tom Brady Playoff Thread.
Starting with this one on how far ahead he is of everyone in wins, SBs, SB wins, counting stats:
Including the postseason, Tom Brady has 97,569 passing yards.
He will reach 100,000 with 2,431 more yards in 2022 during his age-45 season in Tampa Bay.
Last Sunday Tom Brady won his 26th career game (playoffs included) when down by at least 2 scores at any point in the 2nd half.
Records in that situation
Tom Brady: 26-57 (.313)
Peyton Manning: 21-61 (.256)
Drew Brees: 17-88 (.162)
Aaron Rodgers: 7-49 (.125)
Tom Brady went to Tampa Bay in his mid-40s and won 29 of his 39 games, threw for 300 yards per game with over 100 touchdowns, and won a Super Bowl MVP:
Some Tom Brady career perspective:
In 5 seasons, Patrick Mahomes is 11-3 in the playoffs w/ 3 SB apps. & 2 SB rings.
If he replicates that again from 2023-2027, and then again from 2028-2032…
…he would still have fewer career playoff wins, SB apps. & SB rings than Brady.
Number of Seasons with:
Mahomes (1st 5 yrs): 2 MVP, 5 CCG App, 3 SB App, 2 SB Win, 2 SB MVP
Brady (1st 13 yrs): 2 MVP, 8 CCG App, 3 SB App, 3 SB Win, 2 SB MVP

In 2004, Brady went 17-2 and won the SB with David Givens and David Patten as his top 2 pass cafchers.
Led the Pats to 27.4 PPG in those 19 games. KC averaged 22.7 PPG in Mahomes’ 20 games this year.
Patrick Mahomes is gonna face much better teams and head coaches in his first 7 seasons within his own division than Tom Brady ever did in his 20 seasons as a Patriot.
There are 5 QB seasons in NFL history with 4,500+ passing yards, 40+ TD passes, 12 or fewer INTs, and 21 or fewer sacks

If Tom Brady missed the playoffs in all 7 seasons where he won the Super Bowl, he would still be:
• 1st all-time in playoff pass yds (7,377)
• 1st all-time in playoff pass TD (48)
• Tied with Joe Montana for most conference championship game starts by a QB (7)
Per
@pfref
Tom Brady played 21 full seasons.
Each third is a first ballot Hall of Famer.
He was 1st in wins for both the regular season and the postseason in each 7-year time frame.
Out of their 22 combined seasons in the PFF era (since 2006):
By Average Depth of Target:
- Brady has 5 of the 6 highest seasons
- Mahomes has 3 of the 4 lowest seasons
By YAC per Completion:
- Mahomes has 5 of the 6 highest seasons
- Brady has the 11 lowest seasons
"I think [Mahomes] needs to fall in love with the mundane. Yes, for 5 years we have been used to the big plays to Tyreek, to Kelce, all of that... It's time to be Checkdown Tom Brady..."
