Retired Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has posted about long-time rival Tom Brady's retirement from the NFL.
Posting on his BigBen7 Twitter page, Roethlisberger said, "Most of the time in sports the 'Greatest Of All Time' is an opinion. I am Thankful that I got to compete against you, and even more grateful that my kids actually watched the Greatest Of All Time."
While Roethlisberger is a sure-fire Hall of Famer with two Super Bowl rings and three appearances in the big game, Brady's career was incomparable.
Brady won seven world championships and played in 10 Super Bowls.
Only 4 QBs (including Brady) have more rings than Roethlisberger. Joe Montana (4), Terry Bradshaw (4) and Troy Aikman (3)
