Not real worried about it. He's got a couple of things working against him. One is continuity coaching-wise because Andy Reid is an underrated offensive coach, and two is his style of play. He's already been banged up, and unless he goes on an absolute tear over these next 4-5 years, it's going to be difficult. Reid will retire, and he'll probably deal with at least a few seasons mixed in where he's hurt.
So that's what's going to get you/him. Brady lucked out and got together with Belichick a lot younger. I think you're going to see some struggles once Reid is done, and you're going to have to deal with teams like Buffalo and Cincinnati - and potentially even New England at times - being a thorn in his side.
Again, you and others are just hoping and speculating as to what MIGHT happen in the future. And you are correct, Brady had it much easier in the AFC East and the AFC in general for most of his career. Mahomes has to go through Buffalo, Cincy, etc.
As a result, that's a lot of obstacles in his way to even put a dent in the numbers Brady's put up. It's like the Lebron/Jordan argument. Mahomes will likely never be anything other than a potentially strong #2 at best. Not to mention that winning 7 titles would be tough, and I just don't see it happening.
And you can argue all you want about how Brady won them. He still won them, and they're forever on his mantle. Can't take them away.![]()
Disagree. Again. you and the others are making up the rules just to suit Brady. What if Mahomes goes 6-1 in Super bowls? Doesn't that trump Brady's losses, especially to two average teams like the 2007 and 2011 Giants? Also, one of the "gates," as I've pointed out to Crawhammer, knocks Brady and Belichick down a peg or two. Based on what I've been researching lately, I'm disgusted with the kind of stuff that went on in Foxboro between 2000-2006 and believe Goodell protected Kraft and your franchise. Mahomes and the Chiefs are clean.
If we are comparing their first 6 years only, Mahomes is holding up just fine vs Brady. And he is a hell of a lot more fun to watch.
