Robert Kraft: Brady doesn’t need another ring to be the best ever

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady needs another Super Bowl ring to tie the record for the most Super Bowl wins for a quarterback. But Patriots owner Robert Kraft argues that another Super Bowl ring is not a missing piece in Brady’s legacy.

Kraft said that Brady, with his three Super Bowl rings, is already better than four-time winner Joe Montana. (Kraft presumably thinks that it goes without saying that Brady is better than the other four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Terry Bradshaw.)

I think that Tommy, with all due respect, is better than Joe Montana,” Kraft told Albert Breer of NFL Network. “I know that’s a leap, but I really think he might already be the best of all time.”

Brady declined to offer an opinion of Kraft’s assessment.

“Well, that’s my boss. And I love Mr. Kraft for a lot of reasons, and we have a great relationship, and a great friendship,” Brady said. “He’s been through a lot the last few years. There’d be nothing more exciting for all us players than to win for him, because it means a lot to him.”

But whether Brady wins another title for him or not, Kraft thinks Brady is already the best ever.
