OT: Hats off to Tom Brady

Two weeks ago Mahomes was flying around Arrowhead stadium taunting the Bills along with his team being all that.
Yesterday he was running for his life and crushed in a fetal position on a sack.
That was the most extreme up and down in memory.

There were 8 to 14 teams in the NBA when Russell won 11 and between 6 and 16 in the NHL for Richard. Yogi Berra won 10 over 50+ years in a league with mostly 16 teams (they got up to 20 by the end of his playing career and 26 by the end of his coaching).

Brady won 7 with 32 teams (1 season with 31).

And with a salary cap

Haven't seen a player running for his life like that since Barry Sanders.

He was was not a QB but more like red meat to a hungry lion.

Legendary career. On par with MJ. The best game manager, on the field coach, in sports history. Will make a great coach one day.
Expand ...
Better. And the only one to blame for that is MJ's alltime GOAT ego. "I'm just as good at baseball", "I'm going to retire early", "No, I'm going to play for Washington"

I don't doubt, absent all that crap, he very well could have won 8, 9, maybe 10 straight NBA titles. But he didn't.

Long time Patriots fan, Congrats to Tom, clearly the GOAT, but another game won by his defense, with help from the refs this time. He didn’t do much.
Expand ...
That was Mahomes that "didn't do much"

This is amazing. Dan O says Mahomes scrambled, before throwing, for 458 yards. He also said it it was a "clinical mauling" of the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball by Tampa. I agree. Brady had all day, and the Chiefs OL looked like me playing OL on a UConn intramural team (we did win the title).

 
GOAT of all GOATs. Better than: Jordan, Gretzky, Serena, Federer, Phelps, Bolt, Woods, Babe Ruth and whoever else you want to name that was the best at their sport. Greatest athlete to ever exist. Period.

The more Brady wins the more it helps Eli’s case for the hall of fame.
Expand ...

Nope. Eli is not hall of fame caliber. 2 super bowl wins/ rings - yes. Great accomplishment. And I'm a Giants fan.
 
Impressed end of first half he's yelling to the sidelines as they bring Fournette in during TO. He looks back and said something to the effect of "no keep me with my guys, same play" and he won over the staff as Fournette turned around and left. He is a players-coach no doubt and is the GOAT. Don't like him at all but respect the accomplishments.

To each their own but please when you think of Jordan, Babe and Gretzky I'm just not putting him there never mind greatest athlete ever. QB sure, athlete no. Michael had to do it on both ends, did Tom?

I saw a tweet that said something like, "Mahomes threw the seven best incomplete passes in SB history."

KC lost big last night, but watching replays on some of those throws when he was being chased, and especially the one where he was parallel to the turf on his way down, Mahomes made throws under intense pressure (or while being tackled) that were remarkable. Montana to Clark and Eli to Tyree were similar, but it seemed Mahomes had to do that almost all night long. He is a great talent.

Agreed. I think Tiger is better for instance given how insanely difficult it is to win a golf tournament over 4 days

My understanding is that the Chiefs were missing both starting OT. That didn't help. But clearly the game was won at the line of scrimmage. Tampa dominated both sides. Mahomes scrambled for 458 yards, on his pass plays. Brady, 38.

The Playbook for KC is out.....and you can bet the house the Bills will be bringing it hard next encounter
 
The stats are simply amazing. I read yesterday that statistically Tom Brady is more likely to make the SB than Steph Curry is to hit a 3 pointer.

And incredibly if you pretend his career was only the post season his stats would probably be good enough alone for the HOF.

Our Grandparents and Great Grandparents saw Ruth, DiMaggio and Williams, we saw Tom Brady. He’s that incredible.

Bradys super bowl VS Steph Curry’s 3 pointers is an absolute joke let’s not get beyond stupid which has begun. Geez how many shots at 3s VS Brady’s shots at SBs have there been??? lol

Can we leave this at football GOAT QB, maybe footballs greatest winning player?

The one he threw side arm almost already having hit the ground and was a bullet about 30-35 yards was beyond incredible.

Yup. Missing both OTs. Schemes and personnel changes but in the end, it's won in the trenches.

TB is the GOAT and this just sealed the deal. Amazing how this guy lifts his team and gets it done. Belichick looks like the clown he’s proven himself to be. He’s a loser without TB, and TB showed he is the system.
Expand ...
Belichick a clown? Now that's ridiculous. Just because Brady managed to win another with an all-star offense and a pretty good defense, it does not undo what BB has done. BB is great, and probably a big part of Brady being great. And no doubt that goes the other way. But when a dude with 6000 posts on the boneyard criticizes a coach who has done it year after year with tons of roster turnover ... you have to wonder who is the loser/clown.

He's transcended that, man. It's just the truth. As much as any NY fan wants to deny it, it's time more than ever to start putting Tom up against the greatest athletes who have ever existed, not just NFL players.

Damn, you Giants fans are a touchy lot. To make up for my insolence, here is an incredible story for you.

The true story of the Patriots fan who stole the Giants' Super Bowl rings

Inside the $2 million job -- and ensuing investigation -- of a Boston-based professional thief who found out a local jeweler was making rings for the team that ruined the Pats' perfect season.

NY fans? I mean do you think I was a Babe Ruth fan growing up? Did I mention any Yankees or Giants or Rangers I grew up with? I mean Jordannever played there and Gretzky is certainly isn't known as a Ranger. It has nothing to do with a NY fan it's simplya sports fan. He may not even be the greatest football player ever, the great winning football player I guess but there will be arguments anyway. But he's simply not Jordan nor is he close.

Not touchy at all just being real. I will read that when I need to take a good one until then he's the GOAT QB. :D
 
Brady gets some of the headlines. This game was won in the trenches by Tampa Bay on both sides of the ball, Patrick never looked totally comfortable with the schemes and heat the D was bringing.

The truth? Preposterous.

You might as well be arguing on the topic "Greatest Music Maker of All-Time," and saying you've got "the truth" in choosing between Ludwig van Beethoven, John Coltrane, Hank Williams, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Jimi Hendrix, or any other representative name from Blues, Afropop, Traditional Folk, Eastern, or so many other genres and streams.

Quarterbacks get all the glory, terrible time to be a defensive player or running back. It's always been a qb centric league but now it's to the point of absurdity...the way all the rules are now designed for the qb, the way they're coddled, and glorified sometimes makes it seem like it's just the qb's out there.
