Mahomes is the most talented quarterback I have ever seen
Yall really gotta chill on this haha...
Most people would've said never mention Brady and Montana in the same sentence back then
The Brady/Montana comps began somewhere around '04, either right before or right after Brady's third chip. I wanna say it was after the W over Carolina, which was Brady's true coming out party that he was gonna be greater than a game manager...
But even then, the comps to Montana were based around captaining a dynasty at a young age, more than it was about talent. I don't remember anyone feeling like Brady's career or level of play would truly exceed Montana, because we were also watching Manning destroy shyt in real time. The comp was there but it wasn't excessive...
The MaChoke/Brady comp has been excessive from the time Mahomes had his MVP year, validated by nothing other than winning a championship early. Nothing else about MaChoke resembles Brady, not demeanor, not play style, not stature, not calmness under pressure, not the way their championship teams were constructed, nothing...
To this point thru 5 years/4 years as a starter, MaChoke's career more resembles Wilson's or Rodgers' or Favre's, which those are obviously three of the greatest QBs ever, so it ain't a slight...
The young QB who has an on-field presence most resembling Brady is Joe Cool 2.0...
Charles Woodson my favorite player ever. I was 12 watching that game and I cried with Oakland losing...he fumbled that gotdamn ball!
Its honestly insulting that they tried to start the conversation between TB12 and Mahomes so soon.
The real thing Mahomes needs to worry about is separating himself from his contemporaries, Allen and Burrow. Bc contrary to popular belief, him coming out on top of those 2 is NOT a given.
Whoever wins out in that battle over the course of their careers has a slight chance to try to compare to the GOAT. But not a moment sooner.
100%. Mahomes is gonna be one of the top dogs of this era for years to come, but
the best? Allen played him to a draw last week in his house, Burrow outplayed him last night in his house, at the very least there are two legitimate challengers in the AFC alone...
Agree that watching these dude's careers unfold is gonna tell alot, I don't feel like ultimately MaChoke will end up better than the rest...
