Because Brady wasn't even a particularly efficient QB statistically until the 2007 season and was not considered as good as Peyton Manning at the time, yes. Everyone knew the Patriots' defense won those first three SBs.
Can you imagine Mahomes being talked about in those terms in year 6 or 7 of his own career? They were simply different levels of player.
Brady's career is incredibly impressive because he remained playing at a high level into his 40s, but his 20s were nothing special at all. That somehow gets ignored in these comparisons.
