As the NFL\u2019s perpetual debate rages on over who reigns supreme between Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, is Mahomes slowly creeping up on the GOAT? The comparison goes beyond football prowess to encompass their respective journeys. While Mahomes stands at a juncture filled with promise, Brady\u2019s legacy looms large.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The YouTube channel PickSix recently presented compelling statistics suggesting Mahomes may just dethrone Brady as the GOAT if he\u2019s able to maintain longevity. The data reveals that Patrick Mahomes outperformed Tom Brady in nearly every category imaginable in the first seven years of his career. From passing yards and touchdowns to completion percentage, rushing yards rushing touchdowns, and even interceptions.<\/p>\n
While Mahomes is on the right path, surpassing Tom Brady by 2030 might seem like a tall order, primarily due to the need to translate statistical superiority into championship rings. With Brady boasting seven Super Bowl rings, Mahomes would have to clinch five titles in the next six years to match that feat.<\/p>\n
The biggest challenge for Mahomes would be replicating Brady\u2019s longevity. With 89,214 passing yards, 649 touchdowns, and 251 QB wins, per\u00a0ESPN, he\u2019s set a seemingly insurmountable benchmark. To surpass Brady, Patrick Mahomes would need to rack up over 60,000 yards and maintain an average of 4,676 yards per season, over a 20-year span.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s like throwing for 275 yards every game for the next 13 years! Furthermore, to match Brady\u2019s 649 touchdowns, Mahomes would need to average 33 passing touchdowns each season. As for wins, Mahome would have to secure a minimum of 14 wins per season for the next 13 years. And let\u2019s not forget about those seven Super Bowl rings.<\/p>\n
Adding another five championships to his trophy case seems like a Herculean task, but Mahomes has shown flashes of brilliance in his early career. Can he rise to the occasion and rewrite the record books? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on Patrick Mahomes\u2019 Initial Years As Compared To Tom Brady<\/strong><\/h2>\nBridging the gap between these two supremely talented quarterbacks involves more than on-field feats; it\u2019s about navigating challenges and shaping a lasting legacy. Brady and Mahomes both began their NFL journey as backup quarterbacks, seeing limited action in their rookie season.<\/p>\n
Brady\u2019s opportunity arose in his season with\u00a0the Patriots, leading to a Super Bowl championship. Meanwhile, Mahomes took the reins as a full-time starter for\u00a0the Chiefs, guiding them to the AFC Championship game, albeit falling short of Brady\u2019s Patriots. Despite the loss, Mahomes amassed over 5,000 passing yards, something one generally doesn\u2019t see. During his tenure as a full-time starter, he consistently surpassed 4,000 passing yards and 26 touchdowns each season.<\/p>\n
Conversely, Brady took longer to achieve these milestones, only reaching 4,000 passing yards in his sixth season and requiring Randy Moss to surpass 30 touchdowns per season. In modern times, with the ongoing debate about QBs as game changers versus game managers, Brady was initially considered more of a game manager.<\/p>\n
Given Mahomes\u2019 relatively brief seven-year tenure in the NFL compared to Brady\u2019s illustrious career, it\u2019s reasonable to expect Mahomes to eventually reach Brady\u2019s level of success. Additionally, Brady benefited from playing on teams with elite defenses during his early years. However, this doesn\u2019t diminish Brady\u2019s achievements; it simply reflects the different circumstances of that era.<\/p>\n
Mahomes faces the challenge of maintaining the current pace of his success, which may be difficult in the evolving NFL landscape. However, he possesses the talent and drive to, if not outshine, reach Brady\u2019s stature. That being said, their saga transcends the sport, shaping the narrative of NFL greatness for generations to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
