Brady bunch of thought

Does this change the discussion of the GOAT?

Here is Tom Brady saying he does not believe Tom Brady is the best quarterback ever.

Here, from a great story from ESPN’s Ian O’Connor, when asked about being the GOAT, is Brady’s exact quote, doing his best Stewwie impersonation (minus the * of course):

“I don’t agree with that, and I’ll tell you why. I know myself as a player. I’m really a product of what I’ve been around, who I was coached by, what I played against, in the era I played in. I really believe if a lot of people were in my shoes they could accomplish the same kinds of things. So I’ve been very fortunate. … I don’t ever want to be the weak link.”
