Pat must get GOAT
AS it stands, there’s no doubt Tom Brady is the Greatest Of All Time.
And if we want to be talking about Patrick Mahomes in that conversation one day, he really needs to win Super Bowl LV tonight.
This might be his only chance to beat Brady. Even if one day he somehow catches up to Tom in terms of his achievements, if he doesn’t beat him in this head-to-head match-up then it’ll be hard to make the case.
You look at the dynasty Brady created at New England and if anyone is capable of doing something similar it’s Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs.
They’ve got their head coach and playmakers all under contract and their defensive co-ordinator Steve
Spagnuolo isn’t trying to be a head coach so he’ll stay for a while yet.
When you lock up Mahomes for the next 10 years, as long as he stays healthy we should be seeing them win more and more Super Bowls.
But if a 43-year-old Brady beats him in the head-to-head, that’s going to make it hard to flip the argument no matter what happens.
I hate to say this because the big game hasn’t happened yet but, win or lose, Brady has truly put himself above all others this year with what he has done.
It’s the Brady effect that has got Tampa Bay to the Super Bowl. The last comparative example was Peyton Manning at the Broncos, but he didn’t throw them to victory, he managed the game.
After beating Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers to take a new team to the Super Bowl, it’s going to be hard to catch Brady in the GOAT debate.
The only way is by beating him on the field.
Selfishly, I’m hoping Mahomes wins tonight. I like him and just love how explosive they are.
