Nick Wright per usual put together a pretty hole-free argument on this in his podcast that dropped today, went something like this:

- Sunday was a big hit if we are just talking Mahomes' pursuit of Brady
- Sunday was also only the second time in the past many decades that a QB was trying to win a Super Bowl that would accomplish something no one had ever done before - first Brady in SB42, lost to Eli. Then Mahomes loses to Philly in SB59. Neither team played well on offense.
- Both guys were about the same age at the time. Brady was 30, Mahomes was 29. Both fell to 3-2 in Super Bowls after the loss.
- The loss has zero impact on today's current structure of QB ranks. You don't punish Mahomes for losing by a lot in a Super Bowl by propping up guys like Allen, Lamar, or Burrow who he beats every year to get to the big game.

And that's just it while we are prisoners of this moment. We have Brady's full career logged now and the story is written. He went another seven years after 42 before he finally won his fourth ring.

We'll see what Patrick does from here. If he is producing like he is capable, I'm confident 10-12 years from now he has Brady's records largely with 5+ rings.
