Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3986790, member: 10435"] Everyone is entitled to their opinion about anything. That's the First Amendment and the Boneyard. However, you also have the right to disagree. Rodgers the GOAT of QBs? Not even close. Brady, Montana, Bradshaw, to start. That is exactly why rings matter even in team sports when you try to compare. In the end, how do you do it? Statistics, individual awards, won-loss record? If you are so great, other than very limited exceptions, titles are a dividing line as to greatest. Now, if you specify greatest in a category, rings don't decide it. Greatest hitters of all time? You have to include Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, Rod Carew, and Tony Gwynn as potentials on your list with the first 2 certainly in your top 5 candidates. None of the 4 had a ring. Rogers Hornsby, who may top the list, won one title but that is irrelevant to the category. He hit .400 3 times and .424 was his highest. Remember that they counted sacrifice flies as at bats back then. He is also the only player to hit .400 and have 40 homers in a season. The Splinter had 37 in 1941. [/QUOTE]
