You can make the all-world supporting cast argument, but that doesn't diminish how good of a QB Aikman was. Every Super Bowl winning QB has had a great supporting cast. And you can make the argument that Brady had the best supporting cast to win a Super Bowl ever.
In their previous 3 superbowls it was a dominating defense, exceptional coaching, clutch kicker and good QB play. This year it was the best offense in the history of the game with their offensive line play, guys like Welker, Stallworth, Watson, Maroney and Faulk...oh yeah and the guy responsible for their offenseive explosion, Randy Moss.

Not after that choke job.
He's only 30, he could win 2 or 3 more, then it would be hard to argue.
Btw, his 0-line are the ones that pulled the choke job
No, he did choke. It's the quarterback's job to make it happen, if his name is David Carr, Alex Smith, or Tom Brady.
Ok, but being sacked the most times since 03 didnt help their cause either
Which is why he isn't the greatest. He is a very average QB when you get pressure on him. , Scott Mitc and Ken O'Brien look like gods when they were upright.
And don't think he's not going to see more of the same next season. Like Madden said after Philly gave New England a scare in the regular season, a blueprint is out there now to slowdown the Patriots. The Giants had the personnel to shut them down. But other teams who don't have the personnel of the Giants can look at the blitzing scheme of Steve Spagnuolo and Jimmie Johnson and imitate their strategy. Don't forget that the NFL is a copycat league, as Peyton Manning would say.
As the "Greatest Show on Turf" took a tumble after the Pats exposed them in Superbowl XXXVI, I think the Pats offense will face the same in coming years. They will still be very good next year but their division and conference rivals will begin to build their teams with the blueprint, Madden eluded to, in mind.
That was more a result of the Giants dominating D, than the O-Line choking. The screen was working well against it, but they stopped doing it.
Brady did miss a few and left some plays out there on the field. I put that on him. One in the second half where he could of had Moss for a big gain or maybe a touchdown.
True...the QB gets all the glory but he also gets all the blame.
I don't think the O-line choked. I think the Giants front 7 just played the game of their life, and were too much for any O-line EVER to handle. They looked posessed out there and showed that they were more interested in winning the le than the Patriots were. The Patriots were more interested in making history, than just winning the in' game.
I don't think Brady will have another shot anytime soon.
This years team was built for this year.
They had one shot to do this.
Now, they have to retool and start over again.
They're going to lose too much talent to make another run soon. The Colts get Freeny back and the Jags are young and very talented, not to mention the Chargers and the Steelers looking good.
, even the Texans look like they'll be making a run for the playoffs next year. I just think there's too much against Brady and Co. for them to be as spectacular as they were this year. And, as spectacular as they were this year, it wasn't enough to get them the championship.
Therefore, Montana > Brady.
And, it will remain so.
