There's plenty of HOF QBs that don't have just the first three things I listed there.
And I'm not blue-skying the idea. The idea that Patrick is already a HOF candidate has been floated by the likes of Louis Riddick, Dan Orlovsky, Trey Wingo, Jim Rome, Mike Greenberg, etc., since winning LIV.
The case could be made that Mahomes, between his accomplishments and his absurdly efficient production, has already made a place for himself in the HOF.
In fact, it's already been made by some of those gentlemen I referred to above.
I think that he could play three more seasons and not win another SB and easily be a first-ballot HOFer, if his production stayed right where it is. He'd have played 6 seasons, amassed over 30,000 yds, around 300 TDs vs. about 40-50 INTs.
Skipping the ridiculous TD/INT ratio, which is better than any HOF QB that ever played, those numbers take most QBs about a decade to earn. And there's plenty of QBs that never threw 300 TDs, or 30,000 yds.
