Patrick Mahomes vs Tom Brady after first seven years as a starter reveals there’s only one winner in quarterback debate
There’s no debate who the G.O.A.T. is. At least for now. Tom Brady is one of only two quarterbacks (other being Joe Burrow) to defeat Patrick Mahomes in the postseasonGetty That answer is unequivocally Tom Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP and three-time league MVP sits atop the football world all by himself. However, he could soon be finding that he has some company. That is if Patrick Mahomes has anything to say about it. The three-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Super Bowl MVP, and two-time league MVP is on pace to capture, and maybe even surpass, Brady. If Mahomes’ first seven years as a starter in the league are any indication, Brady better watch out. While there’s no argument on who the greatest of all time is, there’s also no argument on who had the better first seven years as a starter. That’s easily Mahomes. In 21 of the most important categories, Mahomes beats Brady in 18 of them. They are tied in the other three. Mahomes has the advantage over Brady in almost every category through their first seven years as starting quarterbacksPROFootballreference Brady and Mahomes share a mutual respect and will be compared forever If the Kansas City Chiefs and Mahomes beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Mahomes only widens the gap against Brady in their first seven years as a starter. Mahomes and the Chiefs can be the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. While Brady and the Patriots had long stretches of domination, they were never able to complete the three-peat. Brady has the most postseason wins with 35, while Mahomes is at 17. He is well on pace to surpass Brady. In total, Mahomes has an absurd 17-3 postseason record.

The first in the 2018 AFC championship, when Brady and the New England Patriots took down Mahomes in OT at Arrowhead Stadium. And the second, in Super Bowl LV, when Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs, giving Brady his seventh ring. The only other loss Mahomes suffered in the postseason was at the hands of Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2021 AFC championship. Take out Brady and Burrow, and Mahomes is a flawless and ridiculous 17-0. It’s won’t be fair to compare Brady and Mahomes, not until the latter eventually retires, but it is worth noting that so far Mahomes has lapped Brady in just about every category in their first seven years as starters in the league.
