"Greatest NFL player of all time"

[edit]

Noting that @VadimFinneran has, 4 times now ([1], [2], [3], [4]), added text to list Brady as the greatest player of all time, as opposed to the greatest quarterback. I believe this is not appropriate, based on the fact comparing players across positions is quite difficult to quantify. Many also argue Jerry Rice, based on the gap between him and all other receivers, Lawrence Taylor based on his dominance, or Jim Brown based on leading the league in rushing 8 of his 9 years playing (including 5 in touchdowns). It's an incredibly difficult thing to quantify, and using Bleacher Report (not considered a reliable source) and a fan vote (from CBS Sports) to label him as such is inappropriate and WP:PUFFERY. Suggesting that we stick with something straight forward, as we have done for years now, and revert to the WP:Status quo/more WP:NPOV phrasing of "Brady is widely regarded as the greatest quaterback of all time", which used 9 references from a variety of sources. I do not want to edit war, as I've reverted them already, but they're refusing to communicate at this point, so I'm starting the discussion here.
