Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has sent shockwaves through the NFL with his bold claim that he is the “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT), a title often associated with legendary quarterback Tom Brady. In a fiery statement, Allen did not mince words, asserting that comparing Brady to him was “an insult to years of hard work.”
The Statement
“I’m better than Tom Brady,” Allen declared confidently during a post-game interview. “Comparing him to me is an insvlt to years of hard work. I’m the GOAT of the NFL”
Reaction Across the NFL
The comments have ignited a firestorm of reactions from fans, analysts, and players alike. Many were quick to defend Brady, citing his unmatched seven Super Bow! victories and numerous accolades over a 20-year career.
“Josh Allen is a great quarterback, but calling himself the GOAT? That’s a bold statement when you’re comparing yourself to someone like Brady,” one NFL analyst remarked. “Let’s see a few more rings before we start throwing around that title.”
Several players, both past and present, weighed in on the debate:
» Peyton Manning: “I admire Josh’s confidence, but greatness is earned over decades, not a few standout seasons.”
» Patrick Mahomes: “Josh is a competitor, but we all know the GOAT discussion isn’t decided overnight.”
» Tom Brady (via social media): Brady responded with a cryptic tweet: “Talk ischeap. Let’s see who’s holding the Lombardi Trophy in February.”
