No QB will ever win more SBs than Brady. Period. However, Mahomes is superior in every facet of his game to Brady, except for his brain. If Mahomes continues to play for Reid, and doesn't get seriously injured, he will eclipse Brady's career stats most likely. He will not win more championships.
I agree 100% with this post.
If people are objective and look at Mahomes compared to others in his position, his individual performance is light years beyond brady.
The filter of the past 15 years clouds peoples memories of early brady, but Brady had nowhere near the respect early on that Mahomes has.
I very much wish the old CBMB message boards were still in existence for reference when the "Nobody compares to Brady" mindset kicks in.
Lest anyone forget, in the midst of the Grossman wars of 06, Brady was WIDELY thought of as a very solid game manager.
He hovered in the 2-1 td to int ratio, bis yardage was mundane for the most part, but what really drove the narrative was wins and losses for the pats were dictated by defensive ranking.
Below is little synopsis of who and what brady was back in the first 5 or 6 years. keep in mind, Johnson and Dilfer were superbowl champs in the recent past on par with what Brady showed in 01... and the pats were built the same way.
They won the superbowl by their defense strangling warner in 01.
in 02, they went 9-7 with the defense ranking 17th in points against.
In 03, they had the leagues number 1 defense in points allowed. there was a mixed review of the super bowl- a brady pick almost cost them the game, Delhomme played the better game, but vinitari put the pats ahead with 9 seconds left.
That defense and that game left a lot of people on the fence about Brady.
in 04 they had the number 2 defense and Brady was good... but he was nowhere near the conversation for best overall QB.
His 3600 yards, 28 tds, 14 ints and 92 passer rating made no splash.
The big dogs that year were Manning with 4500 yards, 49 tds and 10 ints,
Culpepper (believe it or not) with 4700 yards, 39 tds and 11 ints
Brees with only 3200 passing yards but a stellar 27 td to 7 int year (remember, this was in the LT heyday with Marty schottenheimer as coach)
Mcnabb with 3800 yards and 31 tds and 8 ints
Green with 4500 yards, 27 tds and 17 picks.
Not to mention Favre, Vick and Warner still getting love.
05, they have a middle of the road defense again, and they got bounced from the playoffs after an ass kicking by the Plummer led Broncos... brady didnt play for shit. 2 picks and no tds by the pats until 8 minutes left in the 4th when they were down by 18.
in 06, vs the colts, they got bounced out of the playoffs despite the defense scoring twice in the first half- dillon once putting them up 21-6.
they pissed away the lead, Brady had the ball down by 4 and tossed a pick.
TL;DR, it wasnt until Moss arrived in 07 that people really started thinking of Brady as a skilled QB worthy of being mentioned in the top 10.
Even then, there was still a little bit of unease dubbing him as a top talent.
That was year one of gaudy passing numbers, and there was a solid reason people suspected it wasnt the real brady-
With Moss to throw to, Bradys tds jumped to 50.
HOWEVER- Culpepper, widely regarded a bust at that point, put up 39 tds with moss. Culpepper was inept without Randy. he goes from 39 tds and 11 picks in 04 to 6 tds and 12 picks in 05 without moss.
Many people were on the fence, thinking "look what moss did for that bust culpepper, is Brady a mirage?"
I remember the overwhelming arguments about brady being "he was Dilfer/Johnson with a defense and Culpepper with moss in 07!"
there were legit a majority of people during the grossman days that would laugh their asses off at Brady being put above dear Rex.
On an individual performance basis, Mahomes absolutely positively beyond a shadow of a doubt destroys Brady.
The question is, will he keep it up at this level?
