Jerry Rice concedes GOAT status to Tom Brady but 49ers legend says he played in more physical era

In the grand scheme of things, you don't have to look too far back in the history of the NFL to Obi Toppin Jersey find a time where former wide receiver Jerry Rice was considered to be the greatest player to ever step on a football field. Back in 2010, the NFL Network ranked all of the league's players on an all-time list and had Rice landing at the No. 1 spot. While Rice certainly still is the greatest receiver the league has ever seen, times have changed in the GOAT debate over the last decade.Since that ranking was released, (who was listed at No. 21 back in 2010) has only added to what was already a Hall of Fame rsum. Over the last decade, the now 43-year-old quarterback has added four more Super Bowl titles to his name, giving him a total of seven. Those Super Bowls not only eclipse what any player has been able to do over their career, but no has ever won that many. This win over the in Super Bowl LV further put an exclamation point on Brady's GOAT status. Winning it all in his first season with the -- and away from Bill Belichick and the -- showed he' Elfrid Payton Jersey s still more than capable away from the all-time head coach and his former franchise.Not only does Brady have the Patrick Ewing Jersey championships to cease any other GOAT debates at this point, but he's also the winningest quarterback in league history, with 230 career wins to his name (and counting). He's also thrown the most touchdowns all time and will likely pa s next season for the most pa sing yards thrown all time.With all that in Brady's favor, the once clear-cut case for Jerry Rice appears to have di solved, which the 49ers legend recently acknowledged. That said, Rice, who spoke to 95.7 The Game on Monday, does hold firm that he played in a much more physical era than Brady Reggie Bullock Jersey . "I don't have seven Super Bowl rings, but I think I played in an era when football was more of a contact sport. You're seeing a lot of that now -- players are protected," Rice said, via . "When you have seven rings, you're doing something right. I think with Brady, he still wants to play. He said something about playing until he's 45. I think he can do it now in this league because players are so much more protected. So, yeah, he can have that GOAT status. I never wanted that status anyhow."Again, this is not to take away from what Rice has done, but Brady has won at such a clip -- even prior to this latest Lombardi -- that it seems silly to put anyone above him anymore. Meanwhile, Rice also saw Tom Brady and break the tie he and Joe Montana had with them for the most playoff touchdowns (12) by a QB-receiver duo after the Bucs combo connected on not one but two touchdowns en route Marcus Morris Sr. Jersey to a 31-9 win in Super Bowl LV.
