With Tom Brady retiring earlier this week after 23 seasons in the NFL and seven Super Bowl victories, the consensus greatest quarterback of all-time has retired.

Along with a record number of Super Bowl victories, Brady has the most career wins for any QB in NFL history.

Earlier this week, Mike Francesca had a hot take regarding Brady as a Super Bowl quarterback.

Francesca joined First take and said that he isn't the best Super Bowl quarterback of all-time. He said:

"He was drafted late, had a terrible body, it took him time to do it," Francesca said. "Now, I'm gonna throw a little oil on the ceremony. He's not the best regular-season quarterback I've ever seen. Peyton Manning was. He's not the best Super Bowl quarterback who ever lived, Joe Montana is.
"What he is, though, is the guy who played the longest and he won the most games."

With Brady retiring, analysts and sports personalities have been ranking QBs of all-time in different ways.

NFL GameDay analyst Gregg Rosenthal put together his top-10 Super Bowl QBs of all-time, which was an interesting list.

Here's how fans reacted to Gregg Rosenthal's top-10 Super Bowl QBs list.

Fans had their questions about Rosenthal's list, with most questioning why Pittsburgh Steelers legends Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger were left off the list.

Fans had every right to be heated that Ben Roehtlisberger and Terry Bradshaw were not included in Rosenthal's list.

Bradshaw has a flawless 4-0 Super Bowl record in the 1970's. In those four games, he threw 932 yards and nine touchdowns.

Roethlisberger may not have four Super Bowl victories to his name, but he did make it to three and won two of them, including one of the greatest plays in NFL history when he threw a game-winning touchdown pass to Santanio Holmes in the corner of the endzone vs. the Arizona Cardinals. Big Ben has thrown for 642 yards, three touchdowns, but also added 5 interceptions during those games.

While they were both left off the list, fans know how impactful and great these two Steelers legends were in the Super Bowl.
