Tom Brady was one of the Sports and recreation good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
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]
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]
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]
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]
