Incorrect info regarding completions record

[edit]

In the fourth paragraph of the overview, it says " He is the only NFL quarterback to have 600 passing touchdowns in the regular season. Brady holds regular and postseason records for completions." however the three sources cited only list playoff records, and no source linked indicates what regular season completion record Brady has. 65.25.221.119 (talk) 05:34, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correct all pros listed

[edit]

Brady was a 1st team all pro in 2012 and 2016 from TSN. TSN is recognized by the NFL the same as AP. His page needs to correctly list his first team all pros. Farazsyed26 (talk) 16:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Farazsyed26: Do you have a reference that shows that The Sporting News selections are recognized in terms of, let's say, HoF candidacy? Hey man im josh (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also providing some sources that do seem to reflect that he was selected these years. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:17, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a problem with all of the pages. People can never agree if the infobox should just be AP-only or if it should include other selectors. Years ago some of the infoboxes actually used to say "AP first-team All-Pro" I think instead of just "First-team All-Pro" but @Lizard the Wizard: (the goat) removed the selectors from the infoboxes. I've never really messed around with the All-Pros in the infoboxes that much because there's never been a firm consensus on how to do it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:23, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, the NFL's record book lists TSN and PFWA All-Pros too.[1] With few press agencies now and prominent free news sites using AP feeds, there might be an inflated impression of AP's standing. —Bagumba (talk) 06:11, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Re: HoF candidacy, Fouts' HOF page displays Pro Bowls. As for All-Pro, it calls him "an All-Pro choice in 1979, 1982, and 1985", which seems to correspond only to his 1st team selections, of which 1985 was by NEA only (AP was only 2nd team).[2] But then his profile page was not necessarily tied with his candidacy. I don't think there any "official" qualification list. —Bagumba (talk) 06:28, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The NFL Record and Fact Book lists AP, TSN, and PFWA as selectors in terms of financial bonuses for players, but there's no question the AP's team is currently the most well-known and prestigious. Problem is, it wasn't always that way. The AP didn't even start naming All-Pros until 1940. The question would be where to draw the line. Lizard (talk) 17:56, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. LizardJr8 (talk) 23:59, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Number of Brady Patriot Super Bowl appearances is incorrect at 11, should be 9.

[edit]

Change "Brady's successes helping the Patriots set the records for Super Bowl appearances (11) and wins" to "Brady's successes helping the Patriots set the records for Super Bowl appearances (9) and wins" RealityDistrict9 (talk) 16:27, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article is correct. The Patriots have been to 11 Super Bowls. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:55, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
