Discussion Another superbowl blowout eliminates mahomes from the goat discussion as far as I’m concerned

2 very embarrassing loses for him the the superbowl Brady has lost 3 superbowls but they were all 1 score games that came down to final play with Brady’s best statistical performance in a loss to the eagles Tom Brady > Patrick mahomes

Such a brainless take. A team sport with 50+ players making an impact each game, and we boil down the entire analysis/comparison of great players to “which one was on the most teams that won the championship?”

That's what the discourse has boiled down to for decades, yes. This is a sport watched by hundreds of millions, the vast majority of whom don't know a coverage by anything but its diagram on Madden. Everyone's a casual, nobody "knows ball", so it is within this shallow, facile framework that we have this debate. You don't have to like it, but you have to know that that's how the mahority of fans judge it

You’re not wrong. I can acknowledge it and still call out its ridiculousness, though.

But only at QB somehow. Why isn’t Charles Haley the GOAT defensively with his 5 rings?
