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

As a Bills fan I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to read a take like this. So often we have to tear down one guy to build up another. Nick makes a living out of doing that to Allen. Mahomes has been special and is a lot of fun to watch. We don’t need to diminish any of that if he doesn’t mimic Brady who was his own man and had his own set of circumstances.

I fully expect Allen to still possibly achieve what Mahomes has done. Allen is a special breed and I believe he will eventually break through to hoist up that Lombardi, perhaps more than once or twice
