Does anyone really think that if Mahomes was hell bent on doing it he couldn’t go back to putting up gaudy stats in the regular season? Of course he could. He’s clearly made a conscious choice to conserve himself mentally and physically for the postseason and not peak too soon.
It’s him and Brady, and I’d still listen to an argument for Montana. But if he wins in two weeks I think the Montana argument is gone and it’s just him and Tom.

I’m far more forgiving of a lack of postseason success than others. I think the sample size for those games is generally just too small to focus on too much. Most others disagree.
Either way, Peyton may be THE best regular season QB of all time. I think that has to count for something. He also had two of the best individual seasons for a QB of all time (‘04 and ‘13).

Yeah, and 4-0 in Super Bowls. If we win this next one I’m not sure how you can argue that 4-0 is better than 4-1 but many will. People like “perfection”.
