And had that team taken Watson, they wouldn't be here. Because they'd have extended him and they don't have CMC. They may not have Deebo. They almost certainly don't have Bosa because they don't go 4-12 in 2018 with Watson at QB.

Oh yeah - that's another good one as well.
There's a bunch of those out there. One of the few guys I can think of who simply treaded water in the back half of his career and is still seen as an all-time great is Albert Pujols. But even Aaron Rodgers has seen his historical standing waver a little even with a couple late career MVPs because he wasn't also winning anything of note. Brady's just such a !@#$ing hard rabbit to chase because he never dropped off and the stability of the organization around him let him have a 2nd dynasty. He's messed up our barometer for greatness a little bit.

Brady doesn't deserve a Jack Nicklaus comparison. He has the longevity, but the guy was barely the best player at his position for more than a couple of years in his entire 20+ year career. Mahomes has been the best QB for six years running now and that is not showing any signs of stopping any time soon.

Very few seem inclined to even mention Montana anymore, though I agree that he's the next man up.

People don't give Brady enough credit for what he did from about 2007 through 2017. He was undeniably the best QB in the NFL over that 10 year span. Did he have the best season every year? No - but neither has Mahomes. Guys like Rodgers or Brees occasionally having better years than Brady didn't make them better QBs. He was absolutely the best at his position for a decade and deserves all the credit he gets for that.

This is ridiculous stuff, while trailing by 7+ points in Playoffs: 1. Mahomes is 9-2. Patrick wins 82% of the time. One of the losses was the Dee Ford fiasco or he would be 10-1. 2. Brady is 10-11. Very good compared to other QB’s, but still losing 52% of the time. 3. Montana is 4-6. Similar sample size to Mahomes, but Patrick smokes him. Joe loses 60% of the time. 4. Peyton Manning only won 25% of the time in this situation. |

I think the term Goat needs defined. It isn't greatest career of all time. It's the greatest of all time.
Just like Bo Jackson you should still be considered if you are so dominant during your time. In my opinion Warner should be discussed. (Obviously isn't the goat but in the conversation as they were legitimately dominant) If aliens are invading and the only way to stop them is to win the game. Who do you pick to run the offense if you can have anyone at the peak of their skills. |

Three Super Bowls wins in five years with three different sets of starting Tackles. That's a lot of change at important positions and I don't think that's something that should be overlooked in the greatness that is Patrick Mahomes II.

Provided Veach keeps up his stellar drafting, the roads ahead will be easier exactly because of this. So many teams have borrowed off future cap dollars to be more competitive now that they're stuck in a perpetual cycle of kicking the can down the road and eventually there's just not going to be room to maneuver without losing key cogs. |

Mahomes has started in 18 playoff games so far. Only once has he lost a playoff game in regulation. And that was in the Super Bowl.
Just ridiculous. |

Every year there are new talented QB’s on cheap rookie deals with loaded rosters around them. It’s gonna be a never-ending battle to fight against them. Purdy is still cheap for awhile. CJ Stroud is cheap for a long time. And so forth. |

There were only a couple of years in his career that Brady was the best QB in the league when either Manning or Rodgers weren't and the stats bear this out. I'm not sure there is a more overrated athlete whose mythology is built up solely on team success who ever lived than Tom Brady. It's like if people went around saying Bill Russell was the GOAT because he had the good fortune of being the best player on the 1960s Celtics. |
