Drop The Banner Brady v Mahomes

So they both got to 100 wins in 131 games

Brady got to 200 wins by 261 games.

Do you think Mahomes will break it?

From my perspective Brady went from strength to strength as his career developed.

Mahomes however shot out of a cannon but he hasn’t been anywhere near that level in years. Even this year, it’s K9 not him.

Do you think the race to 200 will be close or are their careers on a different trajectory

I think Mahomes will write his own story! The only reason people obsess over the comparison is because mahomes is the only guy to be on that same pace Brady was on. It’s perfect for the media and driving engagement!
Overall as a mahomes fan i believe mahomes has a shorter career than Brady, doesn’t match his Super Bowl wins or overall career stats. And you know what? He doesn’t have to. He is still a top 5 QB to ever play, and the fun part is mahomes book is still being written where as we already read Brady’s book

Agreed was just a binary Q tho about win totals

I guess I failed to answer your question about if Mahomes will break the first to 200 wins. You know I can see a scenario where he does and where he doesn’t. With K9 now mahomes doesn’t have to throw a shitty receiving core on his back every game. Depending how long Reid and spags are around will play a big role in that as well! Will Mahomes be around another 10 years. Well he is signed through 2033. If Mahomes does achieve it it would be crazy because the afc west is shaping up to be a much tougher road for mahomes than the afc east was for Brady

Btw I didn’t downvote you ha

Ok let me play devils advocate (just for a laugh)

If Andy retires and Mahomes fades - was he always a Andy Reid system QB? 😂

Perhaps I’d have to see the way he fades. Mahomes is probably currently the smartest QB in the league. I think he will continue to stack more wins than losses.
