Is Tom Brady worried about Mahomes threatening his records?
In AFC titles, Patrick Mahomes just won his fourth and surpassed Tom Brady’s 3 titles with the New England Patriots. Pending the Super Bowl result, Mahomes can mach Brady in Super Bowl rings (3). But get this, the TD/INT ratio is off the charts with Mahomes. Currently, Patrick has 258 touchdown passes with only 69 interceptions. Brady had 167/87 after six years in the Patriots. Even in QB rating, Mahomes’ 103.7 surpasses Brady’s 88.4 rating. The numbers don’t lie but Tom also has a good point when he spoke on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’. Tom was the first-ever NFL star to win more Super Bowl rings than any franchise in history. Also, he gave flowers to every all-time great QB he could think of.
Here’s what he told Pat: “I think that, there’s nothing that Patrick can do, in my opinion, that takes away from what I tried to accomplish in my career. And there’s nothing that I did that can take away from what he’s trying to accomplish. All I tried to be was the best I can be. I could never be Steve Young; I can never be Joe Montana. I can never be Dan Marino or John Elway. These are my childhood idols. And they had incredible careers and they put as much as they could into their career and I really respect that. And I just try to do the same thing. And believe me, if anyone can go out there and win seven Super Bowls, I have so much respect for them. I understand how difficult it is. I’m going to congratulate them and give whoever it is a big hug.”
