True.  There is never gonna be an objective way to decide the best. 
My older brother and I have this conversation a lot and the one thing that we land on, that comes closest, is something akin to the "eye test'"  
There are only a handful of athletes where I can say that when watching them it so obvious that they are THE alpha on that field. 
I'll use a controversial example: 
Peyton vs Brady. 
 For some of the reasons you state, Id feel guilty saying brady isn't the best ever, but he didnt make my jaw drop like Peyton did. Peyton was undeniably so far above everyone else on the field in his prime. He made full staffs of coaches,  and players look like lost little children.  Ive never seen Brady display that level of dominance.

Other people I've seen be THAT visibly dominant where it's almost a joke:
JJ Watt, Randy Johnson, Jordan, Tiger, Reggie White, Shaq, and yes...Deion. I rarely, if ever,  saw Rod Woodson just own the entire stadium.

Jerry Rice is other worldly but I've never seen him treat the game like his b**ch the way Randy Moss did. For me, that is what separates certain guys in that ratified air that they all inhabit.
