I'm chasing Montana. Brady/Belichick was so damn unique and lasted for so long. Mahomes isn't going to get 20 years with Reid. And in passing leagues with penalties now being so critical in the outcomes, results are more random than ever.
I just don't see 7 as a reasonable target. 5 to beat Montana - I'm in. But man, it took so much for 7 to happen for Brady, including cherry picking to get that 7th (and getting the refs in his pocket in the process). Hell, it took rank stupidity by Kyle Shanahan to get Brady his 6th.
Then again, it took a little stupidity by Shanahan to get Mahomes his 1st.
It's just soooooo haaaaaard to keep a good roster when you have a guy making Mahomes money on your cap. Brady's billionaire wife (and under the table arrangements with Kraft) were worth a great player every season for their roster because he was never being paid what he could've earned. He wasn't typically close.
Mahomes should win 4. I think that's a reasonable expectation at this point in his career. But **** fellas, 7 is a LOT. Blows my mind that he managed that while going 10 seasons between 3 and 4.

Let me clarify - I’m not someone who thinks Mahomes has to win 7 to “catch” Brady as GOAT. Hell, I saw Mad Dog Russo saying today that he’s already the best he’s ever seen.
I think if he does touch 5, by then, it’ll be pretty unanimous outside of the New England region that Mahomes is the best player ever — the one people first think of when the sport of football is brought up for many many years.
Mayfield kinda showed us this year that Tampa was a ring chasing championship anyways, like we always knew. We’ll see where it goes. Can’t get to four, five, six, etc without #3.
