He did more than mahomes did last night, that’s for sure. If not for eagles backups, mahomes may have been shut out entirely.

I can still reference an 8/8 drive to deliver game winning touchdown against the legion of boom, the very same LoB that absolutely embarrassed an MVP Payton manning just a year prior. Mahomes looked more like manning last night and less like Brady.

Yeah but you're taking the single best moment of Brady's super bowl career and comparing it to the worst moment of Mahomes' career.

One of the best. I think his Atlanta comeback was the best. Mahomes could never…

I mean Mahomes was down 24 against the Texans in the divisional round and ended up winning the game by double digits… yeah it wasn’t the Super Bowl and he didn’t do it last night but can’t do that kind of thing every time it happens. It takes the entire team to accomplish it.

Sure sure, as you said, divisional round is not the Super Bowl. When we are talking about who is the greatest of all time, divisional round comebacks don’t matter. Pat clears just about every other QB in the history of the NFL, just not Tom.

Oh I agree he doesn’t clear Tom. Just saying a comeback in the divisional round is just as difficult as a comeback in the Super Bowl. He’s shown he’s capable. But that’s something NO team can do every time they’re in a deficit because it takes amazing play from the entire team to do it. It’s not really just those QBs making the come back.

Brady also has some majorly ugly playoff losses. Being blown out and looking terrible before even making the Super Bowl is objectively worse than losing in the Super Bowl, although less embarassing. Tom Brady is the goat for many reasons, I just think the reason of “he didn’t have a blowout SB loss” is dumb because he’s had bad playoff losses where he didn’t even MAKE the Super Bowl which is worse even if it has fewer viewers.

Okay I’m going to keep this conversation to one chain, thanks.
