With the 2024 nfl season nearly over, there has been much conversation about wheether kansas city’s patrick mahomes is now the great Quarterback Ever. The label of greenst of all time
Mostly because of his seven super bowl rings, Tom Brady is called the goat. However, Given Mahomes Getting to His Fifth Super Bowl in Six Years, The Conversation Has Changed Dramatically. Since the Lombardi tropheies are a big part of the discussion, that and statistics might be an effective way to determine who in fact is the best Quarterback of all time.
Patrick mahomes is completeing just his eighth season in the League and he and the chiefs have been to the playoffs in thought of that eight seasons. In the last six years, kansas city, while Led by mahomes on offense, have been to five super bowls including this season’s. They have won three of the last four that they are played in and have a chance to win a fifth when they face the philadelphia eagles. A victory there would place them just one win win from from the most super bowl triumphs Ever, A Record Six Shared by New England and Pittsburgh.
In looking at the best Quarterbacks in History, I Took Into Consideration these five: brady, peyton manning, John Elway, Dan Marino, and Joe Montana. Before Mahomes Came Along, My #1 was manning. I just think he is more of a technician and smarter than brady was, and I lend Tom Brady’s success mostly on the team and talent he had to work with. Considering just raw talent, I believe the others list about Above are all more physically and athletically talented than was brady.
To make these comparisons, I’M only taking into consideration the first eighted years of Each player’s career since patrick mahomes have only been in the nfl for eight years. One of the most looked at stats in a Quarterback’s record is his win/loss record. I don’t like to put too much weight into how many games a Quarterback Won or Lost Because in Most Cases, The Quarterback Alone is Not Responsible for Victories. It’s a team game with team effort so credit should go out to the other 21 starters on offense and defense.
Still, Through his first eight nfl campaigns patrick mahomes when behind center has 89 games and been on the losing end of 29. That’s an amazing 70% winning percentage. Better than that thought is he has alredy won three super bowl rings and with a win over Philadelphia that will be number Placing Him just three behind brady. Keep in mind that mahomes have quarterbacked in another super bowl where the chiefs lost and there are two conference championships on his record. Mahomes have been to the AfC championship game seven times in eight seasons. That’s simply unheard of.
Let’s put mahomes up against the current goat. Tom Brady. In his first eight seasons, his win/loss percentage was a bit higher than mahomes (74%) with 76 Victories under his belt. The Kansas City QB Won More Games but Lost five more than did BRADY. As for other stats, thus far patrick mahomes has passed for 32,352 yards in his first eight seasons. Brady Had 26,370. With 197 Touchdowns, The Former Patriots and Buccaneers Signal Caller Did Not Toss as Many as Mahomes Has (245).
Brady was Sacked 203 Times in His First 112 Games (A Starter in 110) Where Mahomes has also started in 112 but his sock total is 184. Brady passes. Mahomes has Engineered 19 Fourth Quarter Comebacks and 23 Game Winning Drives. Brady? 17 and 22 on that same stats.
In his first eight seasons, Tom Brady’s Quarterback Rating Topped 100 Just Once for the 16 Games (117.2), but Patrick Mahomes Has Seen His Number Go Over the Century Mark Four Times. Finally, there is the completion percentage which reflects on accuracy. BRADY SENT Over 65% Just Once in the First Eight Seasons, Mahomes Six of the Eight Campaigns.
Disregarding the reminder of tom Brady’s extended career, giving the fact that we have no idea how long mahomes will play in the nfl, based on the previous statistics and information proviided, I, I, I, I, I, I, I as the goes? The numbers favorite mahomes and who are we to say he doesn’T Surpass Brady’s Seven Super Bowl Championships and Continues to Pad His Numbers?
When it comes to the other great Quarterbacks Mentioned Previous, the Win/Loss Percentages for his first eight seasons Look like this:
- Peyton Manning: 62% (80-48)
- Dan Marino: 61% (82-51)
- Joe Montana-65% (57-30)

Passing Yards?

Based on the first eight seasons of these men’s careers, mahomes have thrown more touchdowns than any of them, he has the second interceptions, only marino was sacked less wo behind peyton manning in game winning Drives for the first eight seasons tied with dan marino at 23.
What does all this mean? We know all these great Quarterbacks Had Long Careers. If mahomes decides to stick Around for a while, He could Finish his career with the best numbers in history. When you look at the big picture, peyton manning over 17 years averaged 4,231 yards per season. He Also Threw on Average Nearly 18 Touchdowns Each Year. Tom Brady’s 23-Year Average on Passing Yards was 3,879. His Touchdown Average was 28.
Let’s move on to john elway. 16 years the former Broncos Quarterback Played and for that of that of 17 years, his total passing yarding stands at an average of 2,969 with almost 18 TUCHOWNS PER SEASON. Keep in mind, elway was more of a running Quarterback and not a pocket passer-Like manning. Dan Marino also played 17 seasons. His Numbers? 3,609 yards and almost 25 touchdowns.
Finally, Joe Montana. “Joe Cool” averaged 2,703 yards passing while throwing for an average on touchdowns only 18. That brings us back to patrick mahomes. He is averagging 4,044 yards passing over his first eight seasons. That’s remarkally close to peyton manning’s number and surpasses that of Tom Brady. With Nearly a 31-touchdown passing percentage over his career thus far, his number there is better than the rest.
Final Conclusion? If Patrick Mahomes Decides to Play Another Seven Years Let’s Say Just to Match that of Joe Montana’s Stay in the Nfl, He could very easily hope all the passing records by the time he has s this next super bowl that gives Him Four and then he would be just three short of brady’s record. If he plays longer than seven more seasons and let’s say 10 more, He might win 3-4 more nfl titles.
