I dont really think Super Bowls are a good metric for measuring QBs. Maybe a more advanced 'does he win the games he should win' would be interesting. Mahomes career stats being down by 7 or 10 is off the charts. Comparing to Aikman is pretty easy. Dallas was a devastating run offense. Mahomes has replacement level RBs most of the time and an oline thats maybe very slightly above average.Mahomes is a good QB he won 3 Super Bowls, oh so what, so this puts him in the GOAT position? Aikman won 3 he's not GOAT,
Mahomes has a lot of years left to make a charge, to even be amongst the 10 best but rings don't make you the best or demand people remember you. Charles Haley? a lot of rings but Reggie White still owns that position ( Bruce Smith too )
Brady with 7 does have an impact but he's not too far away from the field of great QBs either, He did win without superstars ( except Moss ) and that propels him in my book.
Mahomes is good but isn't far ahead of the current field if at all. Hurts has outplayed him both times, barely got by PURDY?
Not that impressed.
Drew Brees and Joe Burrow have really struggled to consistently win. Do they suck? Does Dan Marino suck?
The reality is that throughout a huge part of Tom Brady's career that Peyton Manning was considered the better QB by a large number of people. Its the same way now with Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Steve Young did a pretty good job at replacing Joe Montana. Nick Foles beat Tom Brady in a Super Bowl. At the highest level, football is a team sport.
I'm getting the impression that Mahomes will likely end up as the 3rd best QB of all time. We'll see.
