The Panel
Won 7 championships and 5 Super Bowl MVPs over 23 seasons, a level of achievement and longevity no NFL player approaches. His 2007 season and his late-career titles at Tampa Bay underline both his peak and his durability. His preparation and work ethic are exemplary. I weighed the team-dependence of the quarterback position.
