Brady was definitely gifted with playing much easier opposition, in terms of opposing QB’s throughout most of his career in the AFC playoffs, compared to Mahomes.
Check out the opposing QB’s who Brady played against in the AFC Playoffs:
Rich Gannon
Kordell Stewart
Steve McNair
Jake Plummer
Ben Roethlisberger
Peyton Manning
Byron Leftwich
David Garrard
Phillip Rivers
Tim Tebow
Marcus Mariota
Blake Bortles
Andrew Luck
Alex Smith
Matt Schaub
Patrick Mahomes
Ryan Tannehill
Brock Osweiler
Joe Flacco
Mark Sanchez
Only Manning, Roethlisberger, Mahomes… and maybe Luck/Rivers are elite from that list.
Contrast that with Mahomes who has faced Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, or Lamar Jackson during each of his playoff runs.
