Quarterback is the most important position on the team in football. And modern QBs are the faces of their franchise. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are probably the biggest examples of the stardom of the QB position. But a Super Bowl champion QB does not find the likes of Brady and Rodgers impressive. And he has a compelling reason for it.

Trent Dilfer won the Super Bowl the year Brady started his career in the NFL. But what exactly is his reason to be critical of two of the greatest QBs in the league?

“Modern day game does not impress me. It’s super easy when you don’t get hit as a quarterback and when you can reroute receivers and when you can hit the guys across the middle. I love Tom Brady, I love Aaron Rodgers, I love these guys. It’s not impressive,” Dilfer said.

Dilfer won the Super Bowl with the Ravens in the 2000 season. And it was the same season when the NFL got its GOAT Tom Brady. When Dilfer retired after the 2007 NFL season, Brady had already established himself as one of the best QBs in the league.

And the NFL world also saw the rise of another big name around then, Aaron Rodgers. Many QBs came and went. These two ruled the league for a long time.

Different eras, different perceptions 

Change is the only constant in any walk of life. And it holds true even in the world of sports. The NFL was once a run-heavy league when the running backs ran the show. But it then shifted to a more pass-heavy game as time went by. So, the quarterback became the most important position on the team.

Time doesn’t stop for anyone. It is changing again and now is the time for a dual-threat QB. A dual-threat QB is one who can both pass and run the ball. And this development has rendered even Tom Brady obsolete. But nobody can deny that Brady had the most successful career in the NFL, winning seven Super Bowl rings. The legendary QB announced his retirement last week. And he bows out as the face of not only the teams he played for but football in general.
