Patrick Mahomes, who’s often compared to Tom Brady, admits he’s nowhere close to becoming the GOAT despite winning back-to-back Super Bowls

Mahomes revealed his thoughts on the constant comparison to Brady.

I've had a great run. I think I've done a great job. But it's hard to take away from what Tom did for so long, what Peyton did, or Rodgers. In order to be in that conversation, you have to do that on a year-to-year basis. Patrick Mahomes told Sean Gregory of TIME

Patrick Mahomes has more Super Bowl wins than Peyton Manning

Mahomes, in his six years of playing in the NFL, has won three Super Bowls and SB MVP awards, he has won two NFL MVP Awards, one Offensive Player of the Year Award, has made the Pro Bowl every year since starting for the Chiefs, and has turned the Chiefs into a dynasty.

The quarterback has beaten Peyton Manning in terms of Super Bowl victories; he is just one ring short of tallying Joe Montana and has beaten Brady in terms of regular season MVP wins. The scary part is Mahomes is still at the beginning of his prime. He has a lot more to offer. It is realistic to believe that he has a legitimate shot at beating Tom Brady.

But as he admits, Brady, Manning, and Rodgers are all considered great, not because of the number of rings they have. It is because they were able to perform at an elite level consistently for years.

The question is can Patrick Mahomes achieve that consistency? So far, he has shown the fans he can do so but this season; he did look vulnerable at times and seemed human. With defenses in the league constantly evolving, will Mahomes be able to outsmart his opponents every year, or will the league’s defenses catch up to him? Time will dictate this.
