Ask yourself this - if Adam Vinateiri misses a few kicks, if that garbage tuck rule call isn't made, and if the Patriots didn't cheat so rampantly, would Brady have ever won a Super Bowl? You saw the absolutely unbelievably rigged reffing in the Chiefs vs. Bucs Super Bowl. Intercepting Brady and having flags come out afterwards to cancel out the interception. Refs with kids named after Brady. Passes 114 rows up out the back of the end zone for PI first downs. The only way Brady could even move the ball was from flags. That was an abomination. The day the music died.
I'm tired of people acting like Brady is anywhere NEAR Mahomes level. He wasn't. Never was.

I'm not arguing with your sentiment, but Brady is recognized as the GOAT because of 7 rings (even if rosters were absurdly loaded and he never won with worse than a Top 10 D in Pts per Drive), but I also recognize that Mahomes resume' with 3 rings is still lighter than Brady's resume' with 7. (Though I don't think it will be for long, I think once Mahomes reached 4 with this current stretch of utter dominance that the argument shifts)
Hell, Peyton was more talented than Brady, but Brady is recognized as greater due to his success, (partially because of all those years in Indy where Peyton had much lesser Defenses)
At the end of the day, a substantial majority of people won't care about the flags, the tuck rule, or anything. Hell, Brady made a joke in a commercial about the tuck rule calling it actually a fumble a year or two ago, and people laughed it off.
The barometer of success is defined by two things to the public. The eye test, and the resume'. The flags and other nuances will be lost to time; fairly or unfairly.
Regardless, this won't matter because Mahomes will be almost universally recognized as the GOAT by the end of his career.
