Obviously I'm biased, but IMO he deserves that ranking based on his Super Bowl record (6 appearances, 4 wins) and his interception percentage (which is second only to Aaron Rodgers). I've explained before why I think interception percentage is a better way to measure QB success than completion percentage, and it's because completion percentage is affected by ball drops (i.e. the receiver not catching a well thrown ball) and I believe they also count times when the QB throws away the ball on purpose.
Joe Montana is comparable to Brady in Super Bowl wins, but Brady edges him out in terms of interception percentage. In fact, Brady has only 11 more interceptions than Montana, despite playing in 59 more games than Montana.
I would put Brady, Montana, and Rodgers in the top three.
