Asante Samuel details why it’s “impossible” for Patrick Mahomes to dethrone Tom Brady as the GOAT
Asante Samuel Says “It’s Impossible for Patrick Mahomes to Dethrone Tom Brady as GOAT”
The Kansas City Chiefs won their third Super Bowl title in the last five years, and many people have begun to place QB Patrick Mahomes among the GOAT conversation along with Tom Brady.This argument will continue to happen, as many believe that Mahomes is on track or even surpassing the greatness that Brady accomplished in his career.
However, Asante Samuel discussed how impossible it truly is for Mahomes to ever catch Brady on Say What Needs to Be Said.
Samuel is reminding everyone about the difference between accolades and body of work. Accolades could be an honor given at the NFL Honors, but it does not translate to mean the same thing as winning a Super Bowl title. Brady has seven rings to prove just that.
Brady and Mahomes have only faced off in the Super Bowl once, and Brady was the victor. Unfortunately, Mahomes will never get his revenge game, as Brady has since retired. Mahomes is also 0-2 in the playoffs overall, as the Chiefs were knocked off in 2019 in the AFC Championship game.One could argue that Mahomes not defeating Brady in the playoffs is enough to secure his GOAT status.
Samuel believes it will take Mahomes at least 10 Super Bowl victories to even come close to the GOAT status. Brady was so dominant in his years that he won six rings with the Patriots, then left to lead the Bucs to a Super Bowl.
It was a brand-new team and his first year with them. Brady might have secured his GOAT status for life by accomplishing that feat alone.
